SPHAGNUM MOSS. 



Mr. Z. K. Jewett. of Sparta, Wis., 

 Is one of the largest collectors of 

 sphagnum moss in the country- He 

 uses machinery in gathering the moss 

 from the swamps, and has a railway 

 extending right through them. The 

 moss is gathered by heavy rake-like 

 hooks, and hoisted into the car in 

 which it is transported by horse power 

 to the shore, and there spread out to 

 dry. When dry it is sorted and baled. 

 This has grown into quite an industry, 

 and the uses for sphagnum seem to be 

 continually increasing. Mr. Jewett 

 also conducts a large nursery business 

 and is a regular attendant at the con- 

 ventions of the American Association 

 of Nurserymen. 



JADCXD. 



At the great horticultural exhibition 

 in Ghent, Belgium, last April, the first 

 prize for collection of 1.50 hyacinths 

 in 50 varieties, was won by Byvoet 

 Bros., Overveen, Holland, who had 

 grown the hyacinths in a mixture ot 

 one-third Jadoo Fibre, and two thirds 

 Dutch sand. They are much pleased 

 with the results of their experiments 

 with Jadoo in growing hyacinths. 



A group of plants grown in Jadoo. 

 and exhibited at the recent exhibition 

 of the Royal Horticultural Society of 

 England, was awarded a silver medal 

 by the judges. This is an important 

 and high distinction from such a so- 

 ciety. 



QNCINNATI. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Co. suc- 

 ceeds the H. L. Sunderbruch Co. The 

 new company is composed of W. A. 

 Mann and F. W. Ball, who have had 

 charge of the business for several 

 years. Mr. Albert Sunderbruch with- 

 draws from the business.
