All outdoor stock has been benefited hj the showers that have fallen with almost clocklike regularity during the last six weeks. It is many years since stock in the surrounding country has appeared in such good condition. The dullness of the flower market is at- tributable to the greater production of private-grown stock this year, and an indifferent demand. Various Notes. Lieut. F. K. Prouse, of the Dale Es- tate, has joined one of the regiments belonging to the oversea contingent, as assistant adjutant. He hopes to go to the front shortly. Donald Ross has also enlisted. Mark Henderson, who had planned a trip to England this summer, was taken suddenly ill at New York before sail- ing and compelled to return home. The annual convention of the Cana- dian Horticultural Association will be held at London, Ont., August 3 to 5. ^W. G. P. , SHOET HILLS, N. J. John F. Anderson, fern specialist, re- ports that the present season is proving to be a good one, fully equal to any previous, year he has been in business. He is shipping hundreds of thousands of seedlings, and later will be selling the larger plants. At the opening of the season he had between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 seedlings. Thomas Jones, whose place is located near the Short Hills station of the Lackawanna railroad, has built a hand- some office and store building facing the road leading to the station. He has torn down one of his old green- houses and is building a new one, 18x130 feet. Emerson C. McFadden, grower of as- paragus and smilax, will put one house into sweet peas the coming season. He has not been growing sweet peas hith- erto. J. A. Harth, who a little over a year ago took over his father's place, re- ports that business has been fair, though it is quiet just now. Mr. Harth grows a general line of flowers, includ- ing outdoor sweet peas. His specialty is carnations. R. B. M. Oloversvllle
