 in fields with grass a foot or more in 

 height, and everything looked luxuriant 

 and green, in marked contrast to our 

 droughty condition. The French ter- 

 raced vineyards, the gardens, parks and 

 boulevards, the network of underground 

 railways in Paris, the river Seine with 

 its heavy traffic and some of the leading 

 buildings were spoken of. The German 

 Rhine reminded him of our Hudson, 

 the scenery being very beautiful. The 

 Cologne cathedral was grand.

 fine seller.

 by E. D. Smith & Co. before the local 

 committee October 22, arrived in fine 

 shape and has all the earmarks of a

 one of the leaders in marguerites for 

 the Boston market, is already sending

 gan 's other specialty. 



Edward MacMulkin, during the dis- 

 cussion following the reading of bia 

 paper at the club meeting October 18,
