 disposing of just as many of this beautiful sort. It is a most 



graceful and rapid growing variety that succeeds admirably

 at a popular price. 2 '4 -in. pots, that can be grown into 10 or 12-in. 

 pans by October, 75 cents per doz.; $6.00 per roo; $50.00 per 1000.

ALLEGHENY CITY, PA. 



William Hamilton, superintendent of 

 the bureau of parks, is getting the 

 parks under his care in shape for the 

 reception of the Knights Templars. In 

 West park, near the conservatory, he 

 has had planted a number of Masonic 

 designs. One of especially fine work- 

 manship is a bust of a Knight in full 

 armor, which is made principally of 

 echeverias, and which required over 

 S,t»tKj plants to complete the design. 



Another design of especial workman- 

 ship is a representation of the banner 

 of Allegheny commandery No. ;!5. It 

 bears the motto of the commandery: 

 "In hoc signo vinces." The design is 

 made of echeverias and alternantheras. 



Another design is that of the Key- 

 stone on which is a musical ^cale 

 showing the notes c, e, g. c, which rep- 

 resents harmony. This is Supt. Ham- 

 ilton's own design and one he is veir 

 proud of. 



Another design is that of the com- 

 pass and square, and another is that of 

 a double triangle in the form of a 6- 

 pointed star. 



KNOXVILLE, TENN. 



Thomas P. Crouch, oldest son of 

 Charles P. Crouch, the florist, died 

 June 14, aged 23 years. Mr. Crouch 

 was a brilliant musician and had ac- 

 quired more than local fame. The lo- 

 cal papers speak feelingly of the loss 

 the city has sustained and pay a beau- 

 tiful tribute to his genius and his char- 

 acter as a man. A widow and two 

 children survive him. The brother 

 florists of Knoxville sent numerous 

 floral offerings to the funeral and sym- 

 pathy for the parents of the young man 

 is universal. 



AUBURN, N. Y.— On June 11, a 

 heavy hail storm caused the florists 

 serious losses. The heaviest losers 

 were A. Patrick, Carl Armbruster. J. 

 Elletson, Jacob Wride, Jas. Morgan 

 and Hick & Son. It is said that Mr. 

 Patrick's loss will alone reach |6,000.
