RUTHERFORD, N. J. 



closed to the Canadian florist, and 

 florists in the States who do not knov>' 

 of this law send their stock cut in 

 good faith onlv to have it returned. 

 II. Philpott, Pres. of the C. H. S. 

 has taken the matter up with the ex- 

 prtss agents here and will do so v.'ith 

 the Collector of Customs at Montreal 

 and try for a more liberal interpreta- 

 tion of the law, so as not to include 

 greenhouse plants, but only nursery 

 stock, for which the law is umlcubted- 

 ly framed, similar to the one now in 

 force in the United States. Until that 

 is done all shipments of plants, of any 

 kind, into Canada must be suspended 

 until Sept. 26. 



Convention Special. 



There seems more enthusiasm than 

 usual over the coming S. A. F. Conven- 

 tion at Rochester. The special train 

 over the Lake Shore and Mich. South- 

 ern will leave the La Salle St. station 

 at 5.30 P. M. August 15. Tickets $21.48 

 on the certificate plan. Apparently 

 the number going from here will be 

 a large one. 



Vacation Notes.

 Vaughan & Sperry, has gone to South 

 Haven, Mich., for two weeks. — Lloyd

 ing a much needed rest with his fam-

 Horton, book-keeper for Bassett & 

 Washburn, and her son are taking a

not so easily managed as his plants, 

 and last week insisted upon trying to 

 dispute the right of way with the 

 cement curb, with disastrous results. 

 No one was injured, fortunately. 



One of the pretty spots in the city 

 is the 20 acres in connection with The 

 Bridewell on Blue Island Ave. It has 

 a lagoon with fountain in the center 

 and well kept lawns and flower bed 5 

 surrounding it. The prisoners do the 

 most of the work and the beauty of 

 the spot attracts many visitors. 



Personal. 



Miss Margaret, daughter of W. L. 

 Palinsky, retail florist on Palmer Ave., 

 was married July 15th to Allen G. 

 Meade The wedding was a large one 



and the decorations befitting the occa- 

 sion. It is not e\ery day that a florist 

 has a wedding in his own family and 

 he takes pride in doing things right. 



Word has been received of the death 

 of Mrs. Jacob Russler of the extreme 

 south part of the city, but no particu- 

 lars are obtainable at this writing. 

 Mrs. Russler has been in the florist 

 business many years and she was well 

 known in the market.
