Now we often see florists white- washing their houses late in the fall and after a few weeks they have to wash it off, sometimes with much trouble. My idea of shading in the fall is to take a pail or tub, fill it about one-third with white elay and dissolve this with water. Take a brush or syringe and put it on the glass and it will give a nice shade. The first rain will wash it off again, and even if no rain should come it is only a little labor to take a hose and wash it ofi' the glass after the plants have made new roots. This will hardly be any expense at all, only the labor to get it on the glass, which amounts to a very little. Dayton, 0. Gust. Obermever. Elmira, N. Y. The horticultural display at the inter- state fair held here recently was most creditable. A large new building was entirely devoted to plants and flowers, and it was away from the noise of machinery, which is too often an objec- tionable feature of such displays. Mr. Wm. Scott, of Buffalo, acted as judge, and expressed himself as very agreeably surprised at the excellence of the displav. Mr. Scott was accompanied by J. H. Rebstock, "Andy" Anderson, J. F. Cowell and E. I. Mepsted from Buffalo. The party visited Grove P. Rawson's place and they were loud in their praise of the manner in which it is conducted, lie has50,000feet ofglass,and every inch is well taken care of. S. G.
