TAXING FLORISTS. 



.afe.' 



(ConllDiied from last week ) 



I find from enquiry of our assessors, 

 of which we have five at $3,500 each, 

 and all they can make liesides, that 

 first they value the land and then 

 the greenhouses as inipi-ovemeuts, but 

 they are easy on the gi'eenhouses. 

 They would not make any difference 

 whether your houses wei-e filled with 

 Zygopetalum Mackayii or Lysimachia 

 nummularia. I don't remember an as- 

 sessor ever looking into the place ex- 

 cept to ask you to come out and have 

 a cigar or leave an order for flowers 

 for a dead assessor. And being sen- 

 sible assessors they know that green- 

 houses are of no value to move or dis- 

 pose of. 



When we get the sensible Henry 

 George theory adopted there will be 

 no nonsense about taxing people for 

 their industry. The Georgian system 

 is not yet well understood: like other 

 great reforms always were, it is yet in 

 the great minority, but land only is 

 what should pay taxes for municipal 

 government and incomes for federal 

 needs. Our assessment this year is 

 abcut $18.00 per thousand of valuation. 

 Some get off cheap and some get it in 

 the neck. WM SCOTT. 



Buffalo, N. Y. 



ORANGE, N. J. 



Orange, N. J.— On May IS five thou- 

 sand chrysanthemums and 1.0(»0 salvia 

 plants were distributed to as many 

 school children in the Oranges .and 

 Montclair by the New Jersey Floricul- 

 tural Society, which has been arrang- 

 ing for the distribution for several 

 months. The children who received 

 plants were also given a pamphlet just 

 published by the society on the care of 

 chrysanthemums, and suggestions for 

 the beautifying of city door yards. In 

 the book is found a statement to the 

 effect that three cash prizes and a 

 number of certificates of honor will 

 be awarded by the society at its fall 

 exhibition for the best chrysanthe- 

 mums grown from the plants distrib- 

 uted. 



NEW HARTFORD. N. Y.— Fire de- 

 stroyed Mr. E. T. McQuivey's barn last 

 week and did considerable damage to 

 one of his greenhouses. Some dam- 

 age was also done to the contents of 

 several other houses, and only by 

 prompt work was a calamity averted. 

 The fire was believed to be of incen- 

 diary origin.
