DETROIT OBSERVATIONS. 



Robert Klagge, always dangerous 

 when he docs get stai'ted, is putting tip 

 tv.o new Atlas boilers 8x17 with con- 

 sequent extensive alterations to his 

 boiler room. He has corn down two 

 of his old houses and will replace them 

 with new ones. At present he con- 

 tiibutes to the Detroit market most 

 liberally from an elegant crop of 

 Kaiserin roses. Somehow 'they always 

 reach the wholesaler when most scarce. 

 Talk about practical liberality? Robert 

 is it. 



Oiir parks are this year looking bet- 

 ter than ever and the public is fully 

 aware of it. Palmer park, that great 

 gift of our never to be forgotten 

 Senator Thos. Palmer has been adorned 

 with a beautiful and practical shelter. 

 The entrance from Woodward Avenue 

 has been adorned with hardy shrubs. 

 The dust question of our boulevards 

 has been settled by a special sprinkling 

 medium. A very highly appreciated 

 feature of Belle Isle park is the placing 

 of 150 large square flower boxes along 

 its main avenues. Over 30,000 plants 

 were used to fill these boxes and the 

 sight is simply beautiful. 



This was the second year of over- 

 hauling of our parks. Old shrubs 

 have been taken out and replaced by 

 newer and better varieties. The bene- 

 fit of such works is two fold; first the 

 parks themselves are improved and 

 secondly the layman's scope of knowl- 

 edge and desire for plants to adorn 

 his home garden with is widened. 



I doubt whether Detroit would boast 

 of these things were it not in the for- 

 tunate possession of a park commlfl- 

 sioner who belongs to the only craft 

 from whence they all should come, 

 namelv, the florist craft. 



A UNIFORM BILL OF LADING. 



A binding agreement between ship- 

 pers and the railroads, a dream of 

 American commerce, in the form of a 

 uniform bill of lading, practically has 

 been agreed upon. Representatives of 

 commercial interests and all the trunk 

 lines of the country have settled upon 

 the form of the new bill and the Inter- 

 state Commerce Commission has con- 

 curred. It will be submitted for the 

 ratification of the railroad and com- 

 mercial interests of the country early 

 in July. 



The effect of the ratification will be 

 to make the new bill of lading a part 

 of the interstate commerce law. The 

 shippers then will have the thing for 

 which thev have clamored for the last 

 dPtade— a "railroad receipt binding on 

 the carriers.— Chicago Press Despatch.
