(he I)riek firins have done) tlieir advertising inanagc'r in 
making his preliminary study of the situation would 
want at least to revi(‘w the industry abroad, where la^^t 
year the demand for roses exceeded the supply. As be¬

detect wherein our European craftsmen have succeeded 
in arousing jmhlic interest in a held in wdiich we are 
merely pioneers. Mr. Pyle here threw" on the screen 
with colored lantern slides, views of the great shows of 
the National Hose Society of England, of the Uoyal Hor¬ 
ticultural Society, of the leading growers of England, 
Ireland, Erance, (lermany and Luxemburg.’

The picture herewith wdll give some idea of the ap¬ 
pearance of this novelty in trees exhibited for the first

a great future for it. 
While suggesting the Catalpa Bungei in habit it is en¬ 
tirely ditlerent and w ill be of great value to the landscape 
gardeners in their formal work.
