course of erection. Mulic Bros, are 

 building one house and putting in a 

 large steam boiler, and Peter Kunst is 

 adding two houses for bedding stock. 

 Paul Goebel intended building several 

 houses, but is so disgusted with the 

 price of glass that he will wait until 

 next year. 



Paul Goebel's son Jean has been ap- 

 pointed superintendent of Valley City 

 and Oak Hill cemeteries. His other 

 son, Frank, who has been working in 

 Wisconsin, is on his way home to 

 take Jean's place in the greenhouses. 



Levi Bronslee has leased F. A. Chap- 

 man's greenhouses for five years. Levi 

 is a hustler, has a good stand, and he 

 will make a success of his new ven- 

 ture. 



Wm. Cunningham is building an ad- 

 dition to his potting shed and boiler 

 room. 



Harry Balsley has invaded the town 

 with his violet pan, and several are 

 going to try it. Crabb & Hunter will 

 try two houses, the Floral Co. will 



take up and replant 1,000 plants so as 

 to give it a proper trial; others are do- 

 ing the same. Harry is president of 

 the Detroit park commission, and has 

 promised Wencil Cukierski, superin- 

 tendent of the Grand Rapids parks, 

 two of the fine herd of elks they have 

 in Detroit. He thinks our parks are 

 as fine as any he ever saw, except in 

 extent. 



There will be no club meeting until 

 the first Tuesday in September.

FLATBUSH, N. Y. 



Whenever we want a "good time" 

 we try to reach the Flatbush alleys on 

 a Thursday night. There it is not only 

 the fun on the alleys, but it's the gen- 

 eral good fellowship, the reunion of 

 "old timers" with all the anecdotes 

 and memories which are sure to fol- 

 low, and it's strange how the visiting 

 florists from far away states have a 

 w-ay of avoiding the frills of New York 



and dropping in to see Papa Zeller or 

 some other of the boys. 



The club expects to send a team 

 to Detroit, and if they do they will not 

 be the lowest on the list. On Thurs- 

 day night last, after the games, the 

 party adjourned to a nearby hotel, 

 where a most enjoyable supper and 

 conversazione was indulged in. It was 

 the anniversary of the Fall of the Bas- 

 tile, and Louis Schmutz and Le Moult 

 entertained the crowd with alternate 

 verses of the "Marseillaise" and 

 "Wacht am Rhein." The following 

 are the scores:

THE LETTER A. 



Under the letter A the following 

 subjects are most exhaustively cov- 

 ered by Mr. Scott in the Florists' 

 Manual: 



Acer Jqponieum (Japan Maple), 



Achillea, 



Achimines. 



Acrophyllum, 



Agapanthus, 



Agave, 



Ageratum Mexicanum, 



Allamanda, 



Alocasia, 



Aloysia citriodora, 



Alternanthera, 



Amaranthus, 



Amaryllis. 



Ampelopsis, 



Annuals, 



Anthericum, 



Anthurium, 



Antirrhinum, 



Aponogeton, 



Araucaria, 



Ardisia, 



Aristolochia, 



Aspidistra, 



Aster, 



Azalea. 



In the article on asters most com- 

 plete instructions are given as to all 

 the minute details of seed sowing, and 

 this one article is a remarkably valua- 

 ble contribution to the literature of 

 the profession. Mr. Scott fully under- 

 stands that his readers want instruc- 

 tions on every important point and 

 that to make them quite plain the 

 reason for each move must be given. 

 The Manual will be even more than it 

 was promised to be. 



IF YOU HAVE any surplus stock to 

 sell offer it in our classified advs. The 

 cost is slight and your offer will come 

 under the eyes of all possible buyers.
