PARKS. 



The Chicago Times-Herald publishes some 

 " municipal tax secrets revealed by the national 

 census " that include some interesting ti^ures re- 

 lating to parks, and we print them herewith:

Just why such an important city as New York 

 was omitted does not appear. Possibly the figures 

 from that city were not yet obtainable. The ta- 

 bles were devoted mainly to cost of municipal 

 government, police, tire protection, etc. 



Brandon, Manitob.a.— The Exhibition of the 

 Brandon Horticultural Society Aug. 23 was very 

 successful. There was a tine display of plants, 

 fiowers and floral arrangements. The exhibits 

 were by amateurs. 



DuLUTH, Minn.— T!ie annual flower sliow was 

 held here Aug. 28. The exhibits were mainly by 

 amateurs. John Richter, the florist, was one of 

 the judges. 



Hancock. Mich.— B. C. York is adding 2,000 

 feet of new glass to his establishment. 



Newark, O.— The Daily Advocate of Aug. 11 

 prints an interesting description of the business 

 of Geo. L. Miller, from which we learn tliat his 

 establishment contains 14,000 square feet of glass 

 and that his business is growing very rapidly. 



Cleveland, O.— At a banquet given the Con- 

 gressional Committee on Rivers and Harbors 

 Aug. 9, the table was shaped like a yacht, having 

 seats for the diners along its aides. From the 

 center rose a smoke stack of smilax with a red 

 band around it. At bow and stern were masts 

 that rose to the ceiling from which streamed flags, 

 and from one to the other was a string of small 

 pennants. The deck was a mass of flowers. 



Mansfield, O.— Geo. W. Hunt & Son have 

 purchased a tract of land and expect to erect 

 eight greenhouses 80 feet long. 



Charlevoix, Mich.— B. B. Blair, who purchas- 

 ed the business of F. J. Meech & Son about a 

 year ago, reports a growing trade. He grows bed- 

 dingplants and cut flowers, principally carnations, 

 sweet peas and asters. 



Great Barrincton Mass.— Jacob A. Raif- 

 stanger has had a run of hard luck. Last Febru- 

 ary higli water put out his three Hres and the con- 

 tents of his houses were frozen. As a result he 

 was forced into bankruptcy and is now out of the 

 business.
