HARTFORD, CONN. 



In a paper read before the Hartford 

 Florists' Club at a recent meeting Mr. L. 

 H. Mead, who resided six years in Florida 

 and for the last ten years in Connecticut, 

 expressed it as his opinion that the New 

 England gardener who possesses a forc- 

 ing plant is in a position to successfully 

 compete with the grower of vegetables in 

 Florida. He had found the climate of 

 Florida more variable and much less de- 

 pendable than that of New England, and 

 told numerous climatic difficulties that 

 the Florida grower has to contend with. 

 He felt that the extra expense of forcing 

 vegetables under glass in the New Eng- 

 land States was much more than offset 

 by the control of conditions under glass, 

 finer quality of the product and absence 

 of the risks incidental to a long ship- 

 ment to a distant market. 



He believed that no form of New Eng- 

 land agriculture offers a more inviting 

 field for enterprise or more promise of 

 financial profit than the skillful growing 

 of choice vegetables under glass by those 

 qualified with means and talent for the 

 task. 



MILWAUKEE. 



The newly elccicil mMiiimcu, as well as 

 those re-elected, took their seats in the 

 Council April 15 among a profusion of 

 flowers such as was never before witnessed 

 here. Each of the forty-six aldermen 

 received several pieces or bunches, some 

 of thcin of prett}' large dimensions. There 

 were horseshoes, baskets, Hags, harps, 

 cornucopias and numerous bunches of all 

 descriptions. This practice of presenting 

 flowers is becoming more elaborate at 

 each election and is a boon to the trade. 

 Although there is plenty of stock in the 

 market, the wholesalers cleaned up every- 

 thing salable. ixroG. 



ST. PAUL. 



Trade since Easter has liccii gocid, and 

 ■every night finds stocks pretty well 

 cleaned up. There were but few "left- 

 overs" from Easter; consequentl.y no sur- 

 plus has accumulated since. Lilies have 

 been scarce — not equal to tlie demand. 

 Roses have been fairly plentiful, but 

 more choice stock could be disposed of. 

 The weather has been clear and cold — 

 just right for good blooms, but not good 

 for shoppers. X. Y. Z. 



Chestek, P.\. — Thomas F. Dclahunt, 

 the florist, was killed the evening of 

 April 9 by an electric shock received 

 over the telephone. His attention was 

 attractsd by a peculiar noise at the 

 'phone, and, going to the transmitter, 

 took it down with both hands. He re- 

 ceived a tremendous shock and staggered 

 back into the arms of an assistant and 

 a customer. They were unable to re- 

 suscitate him, pending the arrival of a 

 physician, and his death ensued. He 

 was a widower, about 36 years of age, 

 and leaves one child. 



Washington, D. C— Mr. P. H. Dor- 

 sett, for some years past connected with 

 the Department of Agriculture here, has 

 removed to Santa Ana, Cal., which will 

 be his home in future.
