 The. man from Idaho in the Hortieul- 

 ure Building received some fine cherries 

 his morning and wrote a card which 

 eads: "And the children of Israel saw 

 lie fruit in Lebanon but they ate it 

 lot." A visitor added: "But Eve par- 

 .lok of the forbidden fruit." Then the 

 daho man, as a word of warning con- 

 luded it by adding: "Yes, honey, and 

 t didn't do a thing to her, did if?"

 a small Easter, "in fact. While the 

 cause is greatly to be deplored the result 

 is gratifying. 



Double white petunias at 50 to 75 

 cents per 100 have sold well, also white 

 roses and sweet peas. The heat has 

 spoiled much stuff, sweet peas being 

 heavy sufferers.

Twelve men have qualified to enter the

 Twelve games will be rolled on alleys be-

The intensely warm weather has fin-

 nothing is vet coming in of the newlv

 wUl allow. 



Outdoor roses are not salable this 

 year. There seem to be no ivaiserins 

 and the Cochets, white and pink, fail to 

 keep up the record they made last year. 

 Sweet peas are about done. Asters are 

 coming in in small lots. No outdoor 

 carnations are arriving, and those iroin

A New Era for Lincoln Park.

 tciKli-iit who is a horticulturist and not a 

 pi.litirian. The. new board of commis-

\| Warder will find much to do in 

 I I, 111 I'ark. for while the floral de- 

 |iai I iiiciit, has been well kept up by Head- 

 ( hardener Stromliack the other depart- 

 ments have suffered severely during the 

 administrations of the political livery 

 stable keepers, plumbers and other cheap 

 piilitii ians. The sweeping change in 

 iiKl III Ills at the park is due to the ap- 

 pnintnunt on the board of such men as 

 lirvan Lathrop. F. T. Simmons, B. A. 

 Kennedy and W. W. Tracy, all men of 

 standing who are serving the people and 

 not the politician. A few politicians re- 

 main on the board, but they are fortu- 

 nately in the minority and there is good 

 reaso"n to hope that the work so ably 

 inaugurated by former Superintendent 

 PcttTgrew before the politicians got con- 

 li.il may again progress.
