A CHRYSANTHEMUM SERMON. 



Tlie Sunday prior to tlie opening of 

 the Chicago exhibition the Rev. Jenkin 

 Lloyd Jones preached a "Sermon of the 

 Chrysanthemum," and dedicated it to 

 the Chrysanthemum Society of America 

 and the Horticultural Society of Chi- 

 cago. He said: 



"I plead with these societies to help us realize 

 the demuciiuy nt beauty, the popular element 

 in true art. The hunger of the human soul 

 fcr the beautiful is universal. The love of 

 flow.rs is planted deep iu child and woman's 

 heart, whether they live on Halsted street or 

 on Drexel boulevard. I want to see the time 

 when the churehes in connection with the pub- 

 lic schools will arrauKe for great floral ex- 

 hibits among tlie children of our schools, the 

 homes of our artisans, as well as in the cou- 

 Bervatorie.s of the wealthy. Possibly among 

 this artisan class today lies the sincerest love 

 of flowers, tlie keenest appreciation of beautv 

 found in Chicago. 



"Oh. there is a democrac.v in beauty! there 

 Is character making power In flowers. Pa- 

 triotism can l>e grown in a garden, ar.d we 

 will never have true patriots and ^'reat states- 

 men, much less Christians worthy the Nazarene 

 leadership, until we democratize our tast.-s. 

 convert these industries of leisures, these so- 

 cieties iu the interest of the elegant, into 

 democratic centers of the beautiful that will 

 awake a passion for public weal." 



A COPY of the Florists' Manual by 

 Wm. Scott, makes a most acceptable 

 Christmas present to an employe or a 

 friend in the trade. It costs only $5, 

 and, being a reference book, its value in- 

 creases with use.

 florist, has been adjudged insane and 

 has been taken to the Northern Insane 



Asylum. 



Newark, N. Y.— C. E. Clark has added 

 a new violet house 21x56 and propagat- 

 ing house 8.x20.

 bile, Ala.
