WRITING LETTERS. 



The article in the last issue of the. Ee- 

 VIEAV on "Business Methods" reminds me 

 of my experience in buying some roses. 

 Turning to the classified advs. I selected 

 four or five to write to. From one I got 

 a prompt reply, gave him my order and 

 actually received the plants before a re- 

 ply was received from any of the others, 

 I got replies all right from them all, but 

 it was more than three weeks before the 

 last one answered. 



I am sure that if the average florist 

 was more prompt in answering his corre- 

 spondence bis advertising would pay him 

 25 per cent better. I have noticed that 

 it is the little fellow that is slow in an- 

 swering. The big firms are prompt and 

 clear, and you can always tell from their 

 letters what they have got and how much 

 they want for it. Pcrhai)s the reason 

 the little fellow doesn't get big is because 

 he doesn't know how to take care of his 

 correspondence. Jos. II. Prior. 



[The big firms were all small once, but 

 they never would have become big in the 

 shipping trade had they neglected their 

 correspondence. And it can be set down 

 as a certainty that those who do not give 

 proper and prompt attention to their cor- 

 respondence will never gain an important 

 position. Xo detail of a shipping busi- 

 ness is more important than a prompt 

 and full reply to every inquiry. — Kd.] 



FUNGUS ON GRAPE LEAVES. 



The grape leaves sent us by J. .1, C. 

 are affected by a mildew fungus. The 

 specimens were forwarded to the pathol- 

 ogist of the U. S, Department of Agri- 

 culture, Prof, Albert F, Woods, Wash- 

 irgton, D, C, who reports that owing to 

 the absence of spores it was impossible 

 to identify the fungus more closely. 



He suggests that sulphur be frequently 

 used, sprinkling uniformly over the leaves 

 on both the upper and loner surfaces, 

 Bordeaux mixture would also be effect- 

 ive, but should not be used when the 

 fruit is approaching the ripening period, 

 since it is liable to stain the fruit and 

 render it less salable. 



Sppringfii'Xd, Mass. — Ex - Mayor 

 Dwight 0, Oilmore has offered to pay 

 the entire expense of building a green- 

 house in Forest Park. 



C.\ss City, Mich. — The Sioux City 

 Seed & Nursery Co., of Sioux City, la,, 

 has contracted for the raising of a 

 thousand acres of beans in this vicinity. 



Bay Citv, Mich, — The Hammond 

 Seed Co, will this summer erect a 3-story 

 and basement brick building 100x50 feet, 

 on Jefferson st, and Woodside ave.
