J. L. Spohn, head landscape gar- 

 dener at the University, Missoula, 

 Mont., has resigned his position. He 

 has been connected with the institu- 

 tion for thirteen years during which 

 time the University grounds have been 

 made from practically a barren waste 

 to be the pride of the citizens of 

 Missoula. Much regret has been ex- 

 pressed ovei> the news of his resig- 

 nation. 



The Boston Traveler for July 12, 

 gives space to an article on the 

 Socialists of Milwaukee, containing a 

 portrait of our old florist friend C. B. 

 Whitnall and giving some of his 

 views on the questions of general 

 public utilities as viewed by Mr. 

 Whitnall and his associates. Mr. 

 Whitnall has always been known as 

 a man of thoughtful sincerity and 

 quiet courage. He takes a stand tor the 

 beautiful as that which makes for the 

 most good, and Milwaukee can well 

 afford to give heed to what he may 

 suggest in the way of beautifying the 

 city with trees, parks and boulevards. 



A BRIGHT SPOT. 



Filene's dry goods establishment at 

 the corner of Washington and Winter 

 streets in Boston is again handsomely 

 decorated with window boxes filled 

 with vincas. nasturtiums, geraniums 

 and other flowering plants, the delay 

 this year having been caused by the 

 enforcement of certain city restric- 

 tions. There are in all nearly 250 

 boxes, some of them very large, and 

 placed end to end they would extend 

 a quarter of a mile. The display gives 

 a charming touch of color to the tire- 

 some brick and stone walls which 

 bound the narrow streets. The work 

 has been well done by John D. Twom- 

 bly. in the face of many difficulties. 

 The greater part of the plants are 

 left in their original pots and plunged 

 in moss. By this method they seem 

 to thrive better than when planted out 

 directly into soil in the boxes. It is 

 to be hoped that many other houses 

 may be induced to adorn their build- 

 ings in a similar manner.
