then that patience and ability is re- 

 quired to assist nature to clothe her- 

 self in her best robes, and reveal her 

 good qualities for the enjoyment of 

 all. 

 Now let me ask the question — How 



Does all that is claimed for it. It has 

 proved itself to be one of the cheap- 

 est and most effective Insecticides 

 known today. 



Aphine does not alone destroy the in- 

 sects, but also contains excellent 

 cleansing qualities, — in fact, some ex- 

 perts claim it invigorates plant life.

does the gardener stand today as com- 

 pared with other skilled labor? Is he 

 reimbursed for his caretaking, skill 

 and patience to the extent of his 

 merit? No, he is underpaid. Does the 

 employer recognize in his gardener a 

 scholar of no mean ability — a man 

 who has a thousand and one things 

 to remember, whose brain is contin- 

 ually working to guide the hands that 

 perform the duties necessary to care 

 for plant life under his charge? I say 

 emphatically — No. A seedsman told me 

 that employer.'; nowadays consider the 

 gardener no more than a handy man, 

 a domestic machine, of the same cali- 

 bre as the houseman, the choreman, 

 and all the other specimens of human- 

 ity in the house. That is no exagger- 

 ation, and why should such a thing be? 

 Who is responsible for allowing the 

 ancient and honorable profession to be 

 dragged down until it is considered no 

 more than a laborer's job? We don't 

 requiie to go very far for an answer — 

 the gardener himself. The remedy is 

 in his hand. By sitting still and let- 

 ting the other fellow do it, nothing 

 substantial can be accomplished. The 

 whole craft has got to come closer to- 

 gether. The old saying "Union is 

 strength," still stands today. The 

 gardener's reward lies principally in 

 the gladness of his own heart, and the 

 expressed approbation of his brother 

 gardener. He did his duty, he did his 

 very best, he transformed a desert in- 

 to a beautiful garden and if the first 

 gardener and his assistant failed and 

 made a botch of the work, the last 

 gardener will rearrange the whole es- 

 tablishment, and satisfaction will be 

 the reward. 



WARNING. 



George C. Watson having been In- 

 formed that his name was being used 

 in Detroit (and probably in other 

 places) by George F. Richmond, to se- 

 cure cash on bogus drafts and checks, 

 wishes to inform the trade that such 

 endorsement is without warrant, and 

 those concerned are consequently 

 warned that any money advanced on 

 such basis will be at the issuer's risk 

 and expense. This warning is issued 

 without prejudice, and solely for the 

 protection of the friends of the afore- 

 said Giorge C. Watson.
