MICHELL'S PANSY SEEDS 



C'HKSTNUT Hill. Pa., May 25. I'.ll2. 

 To prove quality to myself I have been makliiK tnuta of various sowliigrs of 

 Pansy seed bought from different firms In this country and In England. Am 

 pleased to be able to say, "Your Uiaut Kxhlbltloa mraln of t'mt »y Is by 

 far the best." They are simply magnlflcent In color and size and have a 

 good long stem. They are far ahead of any other. Thinking this might interest 

 you, I am penning these lines. Yours very truly,

great demand. For lilies the trade is 

 dull. Lily of the valley has had a 

 good sale, but is now quiet. A few 

 asters have appeared, but are small. 

 Bachelor's buttons, among small flow- 

 ers, have quite a call, and sweet sultans 

 are popular. Cattleyas still are in good 

 supply, including C. Mossise and C. 

 Harrisoni8B. For snapdragons and other 

 flowers there is now little call. Moun- 

 tain laurel, now in season, is being 

 used a good deal for window decora- 

 tions. Peonies are practically over, but 

 Spanish iris and hardy larkspurs are 

 fine. 



Exhibition. 



The exhibition of strawberries, roses, 

 peoples, etc., June 22 and 23, filled the 

 main exhibition hall to overflowing, 

 being one of the best seen for several 

 years. Peonies were shown in great 

 numbers, although the date was a little 

 late for many varieties. R. & J. Far- 

 quhar & Co. had an immense display, 

 staging their flowers effectively in large 

 vases and filling over 500 square feet 

 of space. T. C. Thurlow's Sons Co. had 

 a splendid collection. William Whit- 

 man, M. Sullivan gardener, had a large 

 collection of named peonies, and James 

 McKissock had a choice lot. E. J. 

 Shaylor, as usual, had some gems in 

 his collection. Tourngelle, a new 

 French variety, delicate pink in color, 

 is a beautiful acquisition. J. L. Smith, 

 gardener for A. W. Preston, also had a 

 large lot of peonies, as had Mrs. E. M. 

 Gill, who also made a fine display of 

 miscellaneous seasonable flowers. J. S. 

 Chase was another peony exhibitor. 



The Mount Desert Nurseries, Bar 

 Harbor, Me., had a splendid display of

German iris, peonies, hemerocallis and 

 incarvillea. Some pots of the beautiful 

 white Saxifraga pyramidalis attracted 

 great attention. A. E. Thatcher was 

 in charge of this collection. F. J. Eea 

 had a fine table of seasonable herba- 

 ceous perennials. A. W. Preston had a 

 beautiful table of Canterbury bells.
