NEWPORT HORTICULTURAL SO- 

 CIETY BALL. 



The members of the Newport Horti- 

 cultural Society, who had been devot- 

 ing their time for the past week to the 

 autumn flower show, gave their atten- 

 tion to dancing on Tuesday evening, 

 Sept. 20, holding their annual ball In 

 Masonic hall and entertaining a large 

 number of friends. The stage was 

 banked with handsome palms and foli- 

 age plants, making a pretty appear- 

 ance. 



Dancing was in order shortly after 9 

 o'clock and it was well into the morn- 

 ing hours when the program of 24 

 dances was concluded. Among the 

 dances on the program were two High- 

 land schottisches, in which a few of 

 those who had learned the dance in 

 Scotland participated, to the pleasure 

 and marked interest of the others. 



The guests upon arrival were re- 

 ceived by a committee consisting of 

 Messrs. James J. Sullivan, Alexander 

 McLellan, Bruce Butterton, James Mc- 

 Leish, Andrew K. McMahon and Rich- 

 ard Gardner. The floor manager, Mr. 

 Forbes, and his assistant, Mr. Urqu- 

 hart, had the assistance in directing 

 the dances of Messrs. Daniel J. Cough- 

 lin, J. K. Sullivan, P. F. Reynolds, 

 William McKay and Herbert Bliss, as 

 aids. McClosky's orchestra furnished 

 music. The committee of arrange- 

 ments consisted of Messrs. James Rob- 

 ertson, John A. Forbes, Andrew S. 

 Meikle, John B. Urquhart and William 



F. Smith.

APPRAISERS' DECISIONS. 



The Board, in a decision by Judge 

 Waite, has handed down decisions plac- 

 ing constructions on the provisions in 

 the tariff act of 1909, relating to bulbs 

 of various kinds. The Leonard Seed 

 Co., Vaughan's Seed Store and G. W. 

 Sheldon & Co., appeared as protestants 

 in cases affecting the classification of 

 hyacinth bulbs. The Customs author- 

 ities at several ports assessed the bulbs 

 under paragraph 263 of the Payne tar- 

 iff, which provides for "hyacinth 

 clumps." This classification called for 

 a duty of $2.50 per thousand bulbs, 

 whereas the importers contended that 

 the merchandise should be admitted at 

 only 50 cents a thousand under the

You can buy it in Liquid Form, Fumigating Paper, Fumigating Powder and Dusting 

 Powder (Booklet — Woidiof Wisdom — free). 



Use any form you choose but buy it of 



E. H. HUNT, 76-78 Wabash Avenue, Chicago 



last clause of the same paragraph as, 

 "all other bulbs cultivated for their 

 flowers or foliage." 



Judge Waite reached the conclusion 

 that the duty imposed by the Govern- 

 ment officials is correct. He also over- 

 ruled a claim filed by William K. Har- 

 ris, who objected to the imposition of 

 duty on tulip and narcissus bulbs at 

 the rate of $1.00 per thousand. The 

 importer set up the contention that the 

 bulbs were free of duty under the pro- 

 vision in the new tariff for "bulbs, not 

 edible and not otherwise provided for 

 in this section." 



A NEW FLORIST FIRM. 



John Klang, whose portrait appears 

 here is just starting in business as a 

 florist in Detroit. Some fifteen years 



John Klang 



ago he started as delivery boy with 

 John Breitmeyer's Sons and proved 

 very thorough and efficient. Advanc- 

 ing with the growth of the Breitmeyt r 

 institution he became thoroughly ac- 

 quainted with all branches and now- 

 starting out in business for himself he 

 can draw from an experience held by 

 but few. 



Associated with him is Mr. Rockel- 

 man, who is widely known in auto and 

 yachting circles and possesses very 

 many friends in the fraternal world. 



Detroit florists welcome the new firm 

 Klang & Rockelman with best wishes 

 for a lasting success.

So. Marlon, Ind. — Neighbors are 

 much concerned in the strange absence 

 from the city of Fi'ed Herleman, who 

 disappeared from his home several days 

 ago, after abandoning his greenhouses 

 and disposing of his household furni- 

 ture. No one was left in charge of the 

 property and Herleman's whereabouts 

 are wholly unknown. Before leaving 

 the city, Herleman either destroyed 

 the vegetation in his four greenhouses 

 or else some unkonwn person did it 

 immediately after he left. Mr. and

 greenhouses in this city for several 

 years. Their relations during the past 

 three years are said to have been bad- 

 ly strained.
