A. Wicgand & Sons are very proud of 

 their new store, which is certainly a fine 

 one, and they usually have something 

 nice in their windows. Brother George 

 took an extensive trip around the east, 

 and seems to have picked up some good 

 ideas in window decorations. 



Bertermann Bros, keep up a good show 

 in their fine large window at all times. 



During the past week one of our flor- 

 ists had an cmploj'ce up in court for 

 stealing flowers, and the judge instead of 

 punishing the culprit nc,|iiil|,,l him and 

 rebuked the ennipl.i In 1 n' r in^r had 



bim arrested. Tbi- 1 iTange 



kind of justice. \' rstand 



why a man shouM ■ . 1,, steal 



flowers from his eniployci mu inuie than 

 a clerk in a bank should be" allowed to 

 steal the money he handles for the bank. 



On Tuesday Mr. Langslafi'. our worthy 

 vice president, entertained the florist club 

 at his home. There were not as many 

 present as were expected, but we had a 



fine time. Mr-. I m -iiil I iinws how to 

 get up a good sii|i|iri . mil \li^s Langstaff, 

 who is a celebrated singer, favored us 

 with several selections. The singing 

 alone was worth going many times as far 

 to hear. Those who did not come cer- 

 tainly missed a treat. 



A Trip to Richmond. 



Last Sunday the writer took the train 

 for Richmond, and when I say Kichmond 

 you will, no doubt, think of E. G. Hill 

 and bis many bouses full of interesting 

 i\f\v t)iiii'_'-. Of course, I went to see 

 111' III, mil iiiind them in good shape. 

 II. M Mill I, 111 see all the good new and 

 iil.l c 111 iiai iiiii~, ehrysantbemums (if you 

 come ill season), geraniums and roses, 

 and all kinds of other miscellaneous nov- 

 elties. 



Some of ^Ir. Hill's seedling roses are 

 grand and will no doubt be heard from 

 later. The No. 10 is certainly a grand 

 thing, and one can almost imagine it 

 taking the place of Bcaiily. 'Ibcy Imvp

 coming pml .1 1 n 1 1 nms. You must see 

 it for yon 1 -nil in 1, ilizc what a fin(i thing 

 it is. Tbcri' it stands, like a wheatfield, 

 with stems over two feet long and as 

 straight as a soldier. I have never seen 

 such a heavy crop of buds and blooms 

 anywhere at this time of the year. The 

 bloom is best described as greatly im- 

 proved Scott on a strong, wiry stem. The 



growth is more like Mrs. Joost, but it is 

 stronger. The color is not (jiiite my ideal 

 for a pink, but tlicy nlaim (hat it sells 

 at lop prices in the 1 limi-,. ma 1 knt. Even 

 while I was there a i.li ji im ..nnc from 

 llicir commission iiian uantiiiLr several 

 buiidrcd more for a special order. We 

 have long been ready for an improved 

 Scott, and I believe here it is, but, of 

 course, you must take into consideration 

 that it is being grown by an expert car- 

 nation grower. 



Their White Clouds are grand and, in 

 fact, all their carnations show a high 

 state of cultivation. 



'S\t. Charles Knopf is the grower in 

 cluirge here. A. B. 



The pointers on some one page of the 

 Florists' Manual, by Wm. Scott, will 

 save you the price of it.
