NEWS NOTES. 



Marysville, Calif.— Twenty acres of 

 land have been purchased by the 

 Marysville Flower & Seed Co., in Sun- 

 set Colony, Number 5, Sutter Co., 

 where a nursery will be conducted and 

 a greenhouse built. 



Detroit. — Just now the ladies of the 

 Gardening Club, a branch of the Twen- 

 tieth Century Club, are engaged In 

 their annual distribution of seeds to 

 school children. In this way they dis- 

 pose of $1,500 worth of seeds at cost 

 price. To further interest the children 

 in this work these ladles have made 

 arrangements with George Rackham 

 to deliver short lectures to the chil- 

 dren on gardening and he has offered 

 his services gratuitously. In this con- 

 nection and under the same auspices, 

 Frank Danzer has volunteered to super- 

 intend the laying out and caring ot 

 model gardens. His services are given 

 free as well. This will greatly facili- 

 tate practical demonstrations to the 

 children in garden-work, which will 

 sooner or later have a beneficial effect 

 on the trade.
