The Pilley 

 Clinker Tongs 



remove clink- 

 ers from fur- 

 nacesanddoes 

 not necessitate the ex- 

 tinguishing of the fire. 

 Any child can remove 

 any size clinker with 



PILLEYi CLINKERTONGS 



as they are flexible and almost human in their action, and 

 retain a firm and steady grip on any clinker. The guard on 

 the end of the handles prevents the heat from burning your 

 hands when the fire is active, and there is no longer any need 

 to crawl into the furnace and dirty your clothes and hands to 

 remove clinkers. 



PILLEY'S CLINKER TONGS 



will save ten times their cost in the saving of fuel, as it requires less coal 

 when there are no clinkers in the grate of a furnace. PILLEY'S CLINKER 

 TONGS are more handy for use in grate fires than the old-fashioned and- 

 irons. Thev are made of iron and steel and will last a lifetime. SEND 

 $1.00 AND WE WILL. PREPAY THE EXPREbSAGE OR POST- 

 AGE RIGHT TO YOUR HOME.

International Flower Show, 

 New York 



THE schedule of premiums to be offered at the 

 International Flower Show to be held in the 

 Grand Central Palace, New York, April 5th to 

 1 2th next, has been issued. 



There are some notable additions to the classes. 

 In the section for commercial growers covering 

 roses in pots and tubs, three prizes are offered for a 

 display arranged as a rose garden covering 500 sq. 

 ft., respectively $500, $3°° and $200. In this class 

 last year there were but two prizes, $300 and $200. 



Private growers of bulbs are offered for a display 

 of buibs in flower to occupy 200 sq. ft., arranged for 

 effect, prizes $150 and $100. There is also a class 

 for dealers and seedsmen calling for a display of 

 bulbs, etc., arranged as a Dutch bulb garden, cover- 

 ing 500 sq. ft. 



In the commercial class covering a display of cut 

 roses covering 200 sq. ft., the first prize is increased 

 to $250 and the second prize in the new schedule is 

 increased to $200. Bougainvilleas are to be fea- 

 tured so as to form a distinct attraction among the 

 groups of flowering plants, prizes of $75 and $50 

 being offered for a group arranged for effect covering 

 100 sq. ft. 



A new feature is a class for a collection of new 

 Holland plants covering 100 sq. ft., with prizes of 

 $50 and $25. 



Rock gardens are to be another important fea- 

 ture, a commercial class for such gardens covering 

 a space 10 ft. x 30 ft., suitable accessories permitted 

 having been introduced with prizes of $250 and §150. 



The National Flower Show, 

 Philadelphia 



PLANS are well under way for the Fourth 

 National Flower Show, to be held in Phila- 

 delphia next March. At the present time exhibi- 

 tors do not seem to need very much coaxing to re- 

 serve floor space, several firms having rented a con- 

 siderable amount. 



The American Carnation Society is offering 

 special premiums and much interest is attached to 

 their exhibit, as they will celebrate at this show 

 their twenty-fifth anniversary or silver jubilee. 



The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has 

 abandoned its plans for its customary spring show 

 and will devote its entire energy toward making 

 the National Flower Show a success. The Society 

 has appointed a committee consisting of W. F. 

 Therkildsen, Robert Craig and David Rust to act 

 with the National Flower Show Committee. 



The lectures will be a most important feature of 

 the show, many prominent horticulturists being 

 scheduled. Mr. F. R. Newbold, of the Horticul- 

 tural Society of New York, reports that many of 

 the members of the ladies' garden clubs and societies 

 are eager to take part and will endeavor to outdo 

 the ladies whose efforts at the 1915 New York 

 Flower Show were so thoroughly appreciated. 



There is every prospect that the National Flower 

 Show of 1916 will outshine its predecessors. 



A Canadian Rose Exhibit 



THE third summer exhibition of roses by the 

 Rose Society of Ontario was held on June 

 25th in Toronto. The show was a marked improve- 

 ment upon those of the two preceding years. There 

 were in all 75 exhibits and 30 exhibitors, of whom 

 20 were in the Amateur Class. The early part of 

 June was cool with an abundance of rain, causing 

 an exceptional brilliance in color, with great vigor 

 and stoutness of habit, and a far better texture in 

 the flower than can usually be obtained here. 



In the professional classes were exhibits of Juliet, 

 Betty, Bessie Brown, the Lyon Rose, Mrs. Wallace 

 Rowe, General Janssen, Miss Alice Rothschild, and 

 Lady Alice Stanley; Old Gold.Willowmere, Mrs. Am- 

 broise Ricardo, Florence Forester, Mrs. F. W. Van- 

 derbilt, Mrs. Charles Pearson, Mrs. James Lynas, 

 Colleen, Madame Edouard Heriot, and Hadley. 



Two amateur collections included Sunburst, 

 Florence Pemberton, Evelyn Dauntessy, Mrs. 

 Theodore Roosevelt, Dean Hole, Captain Hayward, 

 and Mabel Drew, and there were also such old 

 friends as La France, Caroline Testout and Souvenir 

 de Malmaison. Mrs. R. Ella Balnes, President.
