The Weekly Florists' Review* 



DECEMBER 22, 1S98. 



DUBUQUE, lA. 



It appears that in the case of the 

 palm swindler here a trap had been 

 laid for him and he would have been 

 caught but for the action of the hired 

 man at the residence mentioned. 



When he appeared at the store, Mr. 

 Havkett knew he did not belong with 

 the household of the customer and 

 suspected the order was a scheme, so 

 he sent one son with the plants with 

 the swindler and then despatched an 

 older son to see that the fellow was 

 caught if crooked as suspected. Ar- 

 rangements were made to leave the 

 plants and then nab the crook when 

 he attempted to remove the plants. 

 The actions of the hired man, though, 

 gave the fellow warning and he suc- 

 ceeded in escaping through a rear 

 door, though the police were on his 

 track in a very short time. 



ABOUT JADOO.

 you postofhce order for $1, to pay for

P. 8. — ^Seeing there is so much talk 

 about Jadoo lately, I cannot help but 

 say a word in its favor. The one 

 thing I use it mostly for is growing 

 callas, using a little over one-third 

 Jadoo to balance of soil, and everyone 

 that comes into my house remarks at 

 the amount of bloom I get from them, 

 which is something wonderful, for I 

 have never been able to get such an 

 abundance of flowers until I began 

 using Jadoo. 



NEWPORT, R. I. 



There is talk among the members of 

 the Newport Horticultural Society 

 relative to building a large hall, such 

 as the demands of the city call for, in 

 which would be a small stage and a 

 balcony. The members, or rather 

 those who are setting to work to in- 

 augurate the movement, believe that 

 the opportunity was never more en- 

 couraging than at the present time.
