Obituary, 



Frank Banning. 

 Frank Banning, of Kinsman, O., well- 

 known as a gladiolus specialist and 

 raiser of several sensational varieties, 

 died on March 19, aged 55 years. 



Mrs. August Mirring. 



Mrs. Caroline Mirring, wife of 

 August Mirring, a well-known florist 

 of East St. Louis, 111., died on Wednes- 

 day, March 25th. Mrs. Mirring was 36 

 years old and was the mother of seven 

 children — three boys and four girls, 

 who with the husband mourn her loss. 



A. J. Thompson. 



Adolphus J. Thompson of 757 Camp- 

 bell avenue. West Haven, Conn., died 

 Saturday morning March 29, of pneu- 

 monia following an illness of two 

 weeks. Mr. Thompson was a well- 

 known florist. He was born in New 

 Haven in 1850 and had been a resident 

 of New Haven and West Haven ever 

 since. Left to survive him are two 

 daughters, Mrs. R. L. Smitley, of Mt. 

 Vernon, N. Y., and Mrs. E. J. Greene, 

 with whom he made his home. 



We are sorry to learn of the bereave- 

 ment of R. W. Clucas, of Sparkill, N. 

 Y., whose son, 17 years of age, died 

 on March 26. This affliction follows 

 close after a fire which destroyed the 

 barn connected with Mr. Clucas' nurs- 

 ery establishment, with horses, and in 

 which a hired man lost his life. 



"KEYING" ADVERTISEMENTS. 



Much has been said and written 

 about keying advertisements. In many 

 cases the keying system is advisable. 

 It is the only means by which the 

 merits of a paper so far as inquiries 

 are concerned may be determined. It 

 doesn't always signify in an exact way 

 the best method. It is our belief that 

 inquiries from certain papers are 

 worth vastly more than others. One 

 advertiser stated that he would rather 

 have one inquiry from a leading agri- 

 cultural paper, which he named, than 

 ten from a much larger, but a more 

 general purpose agricultural paper, 

 which shows us clearly that if we are 

 to consider inquiries alone the paper 

 of greatest value would not be first in 

 favor. The merit of an inquiry is 

 something for consideration just as 

 the possibility of that inquiry is of all 

 importance to the man who buys and 

 pays for it. — Good Advertising. 



EFFECTIVE PUBLICITY. 



The Minneapolis Journal, devoted 

 the greater part of three columns of 

 its issue of March 27th to Hints on 

 Flower Culture for Minnesota gardens. 

 The notes which comprised cultural 

 directions on snapdragons, marguer- 

 ites, tulips and peonies and were very 

 complete, are part of a series writ- 

 ten by different members of the 

 local Florists' Club and edited by the 

 Press Committee. The Minneapolis 

 Journal has done much to help interest 

 the public in floriculture and has cor- 

 dially co-operated with the club in this 

 movement.
