. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. igii. The American Florist. 63. OUTING OF CONNECTICUT NURSERYMEN'S ASSOCIATION AT ELM CITY NURSERY CO. S, NEW HAVEN, CONN. Connecticut Nurserymen's Association. Tlie annual summer outing of the Connecticut Nurserymen's Association was again held this year on the grounds of the Elm City Nursery Co., New Haven, Conn., July 26. The day was perfect in every respect. The re- cent rains made verdure everywhere fresh and attractive. A special fea- ture at the nursery which was a source of universal interest among the members is a collection of rare Japanese plants which were personally selected last winter in Japan. After journeying through the nursery's fields of well cultivated stock and comparing notes of mutual interest, the members took automobiles to the West-shore, where they liberally feasted. Later, after a short business session, the members gave themselves over gener- ally to the attractions of the shore. AU agreed that this season's outing proved to be a most enjoyable one. Cleveland. STOCK MORE PLENTIFtrL. Business for July has been better this year than last. Stock is becom- ing more plentiful. American Beauty roses .are very much in demand, the quality being exceptionally fine for summer stock; Kaiserin are again in crop and a little better in quality than heretofore; My Maryland and pink and White Killarney are mostly short- stemmed and sell well; Richmond are not much in demand. A few good car- nations are still arriving, but not enough to go around. Sweet peas are plentiful, some very good stock com- ing in. Greens of all kinds are over- abundant. Asters are beginning to arrive in quantity, but a slight short- age of light colors was noticeable the past week. Good lily of the valley is always to be had, but water lilies will soon be a thing of the past, and Easter lilies of exceptionally fine quality are finding a good market. NOTES. L. L.
