es of chestnut-brown, the petals 

 fringed and spotted with deep crim- 

 son-hrown in the center, while the lip 

 is richly blotched also. 

 Amaryllises. 



Of amaryllises or hippeastrums 

 many of the new varieties eclipse in 

 beauty of form and color even the fine 

 kinds of previous years. That is say- 

 ing much. A variety named Heacon is 

 magnificent. The flowers are not only 

 intense velvety crimson in color, as 

 velvety as the petals of a Prince Ca- 

 mille de Rohan Rose, but of handsome 

 form with a conspicuous regularity in 

 the width of the segments. 



Hyacinth City of Haarlem. 



This is a distinct addition to the 

 yellow hyacinths, the flowei-s single, 

 very soft in color and produced in a 

 renaarkably symmetrical spike. 



THE HARRISU DISEASE. 



Inquiring further into the experi- 

 ments made at Lincoln Park, Chicago, 

 with Kraft's Plant Tonic, we found 

 that the experiments were all with 

 bulbs in which the disease was well 

 developed. The solution was half 

 plant tonic and half water md about a 

 tablespoonful of the solution was 

 poured into each bulb, at the top, so it 

 would penetrate down between the 

 scales. Diseased bulbs that had been 

 lifted from the soil were also treated 

 in the same way, and in every case the 

 mites were dead inside of ten hours, 

 with no apparent injury to the bulb. 



The method of prevention that will 

 he followed the coming season will be 

 to take the bulbs when receiv.^d. place 

 them on a flat surface with the crowns 

 all up, and then sprinkle them with a 

 half solution of the plant tonic. It is 

 necessary to have the bulbs right side 

 up so the solution may pass down be- 

 tween the scales where the mites are 

 usually concealed. 



AURORA, ILL.— Miss Grace Smith, 

 daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. .Smith, 

 was married June 2 to Mr. Miles Bron- 

 son, of New York. The wedding was 

 a very elaborate affair, attended by a 

 host of friends. An interesting fact is 

 that the ceremony was performed by 

 the same minister who. twenty-four 

 years ago, united the parents of the 

 bride. Mr. Bronson has an important 

 position with the New York Central 

 Railway, with headquarters in New 

 York City.

Clear Cypress 

 Greenhouse flaterial. 



This with us means the best growth of Cypress Lumber and 

 the best grade of that growth ; and from this grade all the sap — 

 bright sap, which only experts can detect — as well as stained sap, 

 knots and other defects cut out. Others do not equal our quality 

 if they do beat our prices. It is not hard to see the reason : You 

 can not buy gold dollars at fifty cents each. Experienced growers 

 know that the best is not too good and cheapest in the long run.
