•'STRAWBERRIES ON BUSHES." 



Trov, Mt.>.. Aug, 15.— In time Troy may come 

 to be called the " city of catalpas." There are 

 about 1,200 of these trees now flourishiog in a 

 growth six feet high. The residents of Troy are 

 not especially fond of this tree, and the planting 

 of them in such numbers was quite a matter of 

 accident. 



A little over a year ago a man representing him- 

 self as the agent of a St. Louis nursery visited 

 Troy and confided to the people that the company 

 he represented had discovered something new in 

 the strawberry line. This new berry grew on a busii, 

 and he showed a handsome illustration of a bu&h 

 about a foot high, bearing an abundance of large 

 berries. The new fruit he called the ■\-\lpine. or 

 tree strawberry." and explained that its native 

 home was in the mountains of Scotland. A sin- 

 gle tree, tliree years old. he said, would produce 

 in the season from one-half to a gallon of berries 

 every day. 



A dozen and a half plants were sold for SI. 50. 

 Though there were some misgivings on the part of 

 the purchasers, the man was given a number of 

 orders. 



In the fall cuttings came duly to each purchaser, 

 bearing a tag with the name of the "company" 

 the Troy " agent " had said he represented. The 

 plants were promptly set out. and in the spring 

 e ich gardener smiled to see the number of green 

 shoots that his plants were putting forth. But 

 now the summer is nearly gone and it is quite 

 evident tliat tht re will be no ".Alpine strawber- 

 ries "" for the breakfast table of Troy. \\ hen one 

 neighbor passes another'sgarden heconsiderately 

 turns his head and refrains from commenting up- 

 on the tine growth ol the catalpa trees.— St. Louis 

 Fepublic. 



THE MOST MONEY. 



To get the most money out of your 

 business you must produce the best 

 stock at the lowest possible expense. 

 Are you sure there is no waste in your 

 business? Are you sure every one of 

 your methods is the cheapest as well 

 as the most effective? 



The best stock isn't always the most 

 costly to produce. It's more often in 

 doing the right thing at the right 

 time. And that's what The Florists' 

 Manual, by Wm. Scott, keeps you 

 posted on. It is a $10 book for $5, and 

 the best investment you can possibly 

 make, no matter how large or how 

 small your business.

The Review when you write. 



11 JTORE people would use books if they knew their value. Any florist 

 ^'^ who will use our §5 Florists' Manual in the following way will get 

 from Sio to Sioo a year out of it. Spend at least ten minutes every week 

 in getting acquainted with the valuable suggestions in it and use it as a 

 diary of your own work, and a scrap-book of particularly good things you 

 may read elsewhere and want to save for reference. This is "expanding" 

 a book, and many who have tried the plan with other books have found it 

 very profitable. This may be done either on the margins or by inserting 

 blank leaves where needed. Sent prepaid for $5.00.
