ROSES AND LADIES. 



A subscriber sends us an old newspa- 

 per clipping containing the story of the 

 German florist who lost patience with his 

 lady customers. He says it was clipped 

 from a paper dated about 20 years ago. 

 It is so old that it may now be new ta 

 some. Here it is: 



' ' I have so much drouble mit de ladies 

 ven dey come to buy mine roses; dey 

 vants him hardy; dey vants him doubles, 

 dey vants him fragrant; dey vants him 

 nice gouler, dey vants him everydings in 

 one rose. I hopes I am not vot you calls 

 one uncallant man, but I have somedimea 

 to say to dot ladies, 'Madame, I never 

 often see ladies dat vas beautiful, dat vaa 

 rich, dat vas good temper, dat vas young, 

 dat vas clever, dat vas perfection in one 

 ladies. I see her much not.' " 



Hamilton, Ont. — At the meeting of 

 the Gardeners' and Florists' Club April 

 1 there was a warm debate on the subject 

 of secrecy in commercial horticulture. It 

 was a very interesting session. At the 

 next meeting there will be a talk on orna- 

 mental shrubs. It is expected that the 

 exhibition to be given during the C. H. 

 A. convention will be held in the Armory, 

 which will give an abundance of floor 

 space. 



Jersey City, N. J.— Madsen & Chris- 

 tensen, formerly of Westport, Conn., have 

 leased the Bidwell Bros, greenhouses ott 

 Bidwell Ave., this city. 



Gr.^lTiot, O. — W. B. Longstreth reports 

 that his seed trade was 50 per cent bet- 

 ter this year than last up to the present 

 time. 



Cakthage, Mo. — P. Finn has just fin- 

 ished erecting a house, 22x64, and vrill- 

 soon build another 30x7-5. He reports 

 Easter trade as very satisfactory.
