I wish to call the attention of west- ern florists to the fact that there is a swindler, calling himself Tom Cameron, operating on the west coast. This gentleman presented himself at the East Lawn Nursery, Sacramento, Cal., last week, and intimated that he had been held up and robbed of $, all the money he had in the world. He said that he had been in London, England, when the war involved this country. He came over to this country to enlist and then went to France with the American army and was wounded there. After the war he went to Canada, but, on account of his wounds, could not stand the cold, so he came to California. He professed to have worked in some of the best places in Canada and Eng- land. He said that he could not get work in San Francisco and so came here looking for a job. We agreed to give him a job and advanced him $10 with which to pay his board. As he failed to return, I am convinced that he is a confidence man and I should, therefore, like to warn other nursery- men and florists to be on the lookout for him.

We hear little in the trade jour- nals about the growing of dahlias in the cotton states, so I, who have grown them in the south for more than fifteen years, am moved to give some of my experi- ence. Now, I do not claim to know all there is to know about growing the dahlia, but I have been successful with my crops. I have grown cuttings in pots in the greenhouse, but I believe that I have found a better and an easier way. In the first plac
