ALBANY, N. Y. 



Business is very good in both Albany 

 and Troy. Roses" are still se<arce. Car- 

 nations are getting more plentiful, but 

 many of them are split, owing to the 

 dark weather. We had only four or 

 five days of sunshine during the whole 

 month "of January. Tulips and daffodils 

 are beginning to arrive and are wel- 

 comed as a relief to the monotony of 

 roses, carnations and violets. 



Danker had an eight-foot horseshoe 

 to make Monday that was a monster. 

 It was for an assembljonan and took 

 four men to handle it. He has some 

 good cyclamen and valley from his 

 greenhouses and reports a tine business. 



Eyres had some lilacs in his window 

 last week that were very nice. He says 

 business is very brisk with him. 



Wm. King's window looks fine with 

 fiats of tulips, daffodils and azaleas. 



Of the growers, Mr. Menand keeps 

 cleaned up — in fact, not half enough for 

 the demand. His White Cloud carna 

 tions are fine. He is also cutting some 

 nice roses. 



At Gloeckner's everything that looks 

 like a flower can be used. Funeral work 

 keeps stuff cut very close. 



We took a drive out to Wm. Ham- 

 mell's last week and found his two 

 houses in good condition. His Lawson 

 and Prosperity in carnations are fine. 

 His roses are a little off crop just now. 

 but with a little bright weather will 

 soon be in good shape. 



Gillett's four houses of carnations 

 look fair. He has a good crop on now, 

 but a great many bursted flowers among 

 his Scotts. He lost a lot of plants this 

 winter from stem-rot. Queen Louise 

 seems to be his best whit*. 



Sambrook & Son, of Troy, seem to have 

 no let up at all. It has been a contin- 

 ual rush since before Christmas. They 

 are receiving some fine Lawson and 

 Prosperity from Zimmerman's, Water- 

 vliet. They had a big contract on their 

 hands this week — three decorations in 

 one day. 



Coal is scarce around here, but the 

 least said about it the better, for it 

 seems to be the cry all over the country.

WOOD LICE. 



In a recent article in the Review ar- 

 senical poisons were recommended to kill 

 wood lice. How is it used? S. S. P. 



The preparation of this insecticide is 

 very simple, merely consisting of finely 

 sifted wheat bran 60 parts to one part 

 Paris green and thoroughly mixed. 

 Spread this along the sideboards of the 

 benches. Flour sweetened with sugar 

 can be substituted for bran, using the 

 same proportions. Rises.
