THE HAPPY GARDENER. 



When you die. earth-lover, 

 Flowers shall be your cover; 

 Braver than the purple pall 

 Spun to veil dead kings withal. 

 You are weaving, day by day, 

 Beauty for the sun to slay. 

 The fleeting pageant of delight 

 That dwells within a garden bright. 

 You this Persian carpet spread. 

 And named it a sweet-william bed. 

 You painted this great lambent screen 

 Of larkspur, lilied white between. 

 You hang vine garlands low and high. 

 Ripe for Bacchus, reeling by. 

 You are the over-lord of grapes 

 And plums, and all alluring shapes 

 To win the eye and tempt the tongue. 

 Globed liquid honey, leaves among. 

 Living, you, an earth-born guest. 

 Are of men the mightiest; 

 And when you die, earth-lover. 

 Flowers shall be your cover. 



— Alice Brown in Harper. 



A RECORD FLORIST. 



Johu H. TUlry, the 86-.vear-ol(l School 

 Commlssiouer nf Long Island City, L. I., 

 received many congratulations yesterday 

 on the arrival of a small daughter at the 

 Commissioner's home at 181 Academy 

 street, in the Dutch Kills section of Long 

 Island City. The newcomer is the fifth 

 child born to the Commissioner's young 

 wife since their marriage in 189S. 



Mr. Thiry's first wife died in 1896. She 

 had come to this country with him from 

 Belgium, and when Mr. Thiry's health 

 broke down thirty years ago, the couple 

 moved to Mr. Thiry's present home in 

 Long Island City, where he devoted him- 

 self to raising fruit and flowers. 



Mr. Thiry said yesterday that he ex- 

 pected to live to celebrate his 100th birth- 

 day.— N. v. Times. Dec. 29. 1907. 



ADVERTISE CARNATIONS. 

 Next issue will be full of interesting 

 news for carnation growers. It will 

 CIRCULATE at the Carnation Con- 

 vention. See the point? 



FLOWER MARKET REPORTS. 



{Continitrd from page 77) 



Orchids are selling fairly well. The 

 mignonette supply is falling off but 

 what is arriving is of good quality. 

 Snai)dragon and lilac have made their 

 advent in limited quantity, and are a 

 welcome addition. Trumpet narcissi 

 are also coming in freely, and find 

 ready buyers. Sweet peas are fine but 

 prices are much below the average. 



Since the holidays 

 TWIN CITIES as a whole prices 



have not sunk very 

 much, and there are no signs that they 

 will go down in the near future, at least 

 not as long as business keeps as good 

 as it has since the beginning of this 

 year. Carnations and roses are get- 

 ting more plentiful now — at least the 

 home growers are able to supply the 

 market. 



Business has been 

 WASHINGTON quite brisk for the 



past week, and 

 prices keep up. There is a decided glut 

 of lily of the valley and also of cat- 

 tleyas. The demand for carnations 

 entirely equals the supply and prices 

 lieep up. 



John T. Allan, who has tor several 

 years been the efllcient captain of 

 Hose Co. No. 3 of the fire department 

 of Newport, R. L, has resigned. Among 

 the candidates for the position thus 

 made vacant are W. H. Maher and P. 

 H. Reynolds, the fdrmer a florist and 

 the other a gardener.
