For November 15 to 20 we would prefer Golden Eagle, a dark yellow, fine in- curved form and easy to manage. Nagoya and Mrs. Kelley will immedi- ately follow. We would not consider Golden Chadwick were it not for the fact that the flowering period can be greatly changed, under favorable con- ditions. We have seen half developed flowers of this and the white form show the first week of November, and have also had fair blooms of both for Christmas. T

We have seen half developed flowers of this and the white form show the first week of November, and have also had fair blooms of both for Christmas. To secure good blooms late in the season we must do all we can to pro- mote growth rather than bud develop- ment. Planting late, treating fairly liberally in the application of water during the early part of the day, and curtailing the amount of air when the nights begin to cool off will have a tendency to keep the growth soft and thus delay bud formation. It is a well-known fact the buds are the re- sult of hardening of the wood, and while the flowering season can be has- tened or retarded to a certain degree, it is unwise to carry these operations to such a degree as to injure the crop. Pacific Supreme and Gloria are the two best early pinks; Mayor Weaver and Dr. Enguehard midseason, and Helen Frick and Mile. Jeanne Rosette late. In addition to the foregoing all growers for retail trade should have a few each of the anemones, pompons and singles. They are all of the easi- est culture, profuse bloomers and their use will lend grace and beauty to ar- rangement of all kinds. Again allow us to impress upon those who desire early flowers to plant early and those who require late flowers to plant late. ELMER D. SMITH. Adrian, Mich. • Lilacs at'.HigWand Park, Rochester.
