We are indebted to Mr. Pruitt for bulblets of Minuet with which to 
conduct the same tests as with Orchid Jewel. These were planted in 
our personal garden, came up very late, though quite uniformly, but 
were overrun by visitors, as our own garden is open at any time. It 
was impossible to make any reasonable check. 
After five yeans of trial with acids', etc., we have decided to dis¬ 
continue this unless requests are received to continue it. 
You will be very interested in the tests James H. Campbell has 
been conducting,. These are to be contained in the New England So¬ 
ciety year book. This book is worth the price of membership in the 
society. You not only should join this society,, but also your State 
Society. 
Again this season visits were made to many seedling plantings. It 
was our pleasure to carry some of Mr. Krueger’s seedlings for several 
hundred miles, at good speed, and the car windows open, container 
bouncing around. We found on reaching home, that these stood the 
trip very well and their good condition was an agreeable surprise 
to us. 
The seedlings grown by Dr. Geo. Scheer, leave us just as speechless 
as in the past years'. We have looked them over often while growing 
and at the State Show, and find many worth return study. Many vis¬ 
itors to the garden have written to us thanking us for calling it to 
their attention. Exhibition, Decorative or Commercial, they are all 
there. Mr. Amsler in Glad Winnowings said. “It was a sight I never 
shall forget. Hundreds, yes thousands of unnamed seedlings, too 
beautiful to describe), of so many shades and hues as to beggar de¬ 
scription.” 
The man who watches the clock usually remains one of the hands.
