The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



MARCH 29. 1900. 



A HORTICULTURAL WIFE. 



The following adv. appears in a re- 

 cent issue of a western pttper devoted 

 to fruit growing: 



IIORTIcri.TL-R.M, WIFE WANTED 

 -Want to sell half interest iJa.iiOO) in 

 one of the finest fruit houses in S. W 

 Missouri to some intelligent old maid 

 or unincumbered widow of 40 or 5ii. then 

 marry her. Am a lone widower of clean 

 record and unquestionable habits. Want 

 an all-around, practical, domestic wom- 

 an of good health, kind heart, and free 

 from drug habits. 



The originality of the proposition is 

 surely entitled to admiration, as well 

 as the far-sightedness of the adver- 

 tiser. 



He proposes to sell the lady in the 

 case a half interest and then marry 

 her and the half interest. He evident- 

 ly proposes to solve the old problem of 

 how to eat your cake and still have it. 



In exchange for the lady's cash and 

 services he offers a "clean record," 

 though he doesn't say how recently it 

 has been laundered, and "unquestion- 

 able habits," but fails to say whether 

 they are unquestionably good or un- 

 questionably bad. 



And he insists on a woman "free 

 from drug habits." Can it be possible 

 that ladies in his set have been addict- 

 ed to Bordeaux mixture or kerosene 

 emulsion? 



MARIETTA, O.— Julius Lichel, em- 

 ployed by Anton Schoepen, the florist, 

 committed suicide by hanging March 

 10. He was 38 year,s of age and had 

 come from Germany seventeen months

 Co. has let the contract for the erec- 

 tion of a three-story building, 5.5x8.5,

 been confined to the house by illness 

 for the last two months, but is now 

 able to be about again. 



WINDSOR, CONN.— Geo. W. Wrisey 

 has purchased 1,000 feet of the Garland 

 iron gutter to be used in the erection
