Florists who ship regularly find the 

 express service fairly reliable but the 

 freight service, on account of the al- 

 most universal embargo. Is practically 

 at a standstill for the time being. 



Tlie Rocky River Greenhouse Co., 

 west of Cleveland, one of the large 

 vegetable growers of the county, lost 

 its entire stock through freezing dur- 

 ing the recent cold spell. The catas- 

 trophe was not due to a lack of coal 

 but to a failure of the water supply, 

 from a neighboring municipal plant, 

 whicli made it impossible to operate 

 the boilers. The management started 

 at once to replant its entire space and 

 is already making progress toward a 

 new crop. 



In order to aid the railroad situa- 

 tion as much as possible the bowling 

 match between the Cleveland and De- 

 troit florists has been postponed until 

 further notice. The first contest was 

 held in Cleveland at the time of the 

 Flower Show, the Cleveland bowlers 

 drawing first blood and gaining posses- 

 sion of the silver cup donated by the 

 Cleveland Cut Flower Co. The next 

 contest was scheduled to be bowled in 

 Detroit, where the Detroiters hope to 

 keep the cup for a season.

 was looked upon as the Father of

 ton has come to be considered more 

 than any other citizen as the devel- 

 oper of the parks with which he has

This is from the Arabic and any- 

 thing that has stood the test of time 

 for thousands of years must be the 

 Real McKaye: 



"He that knows and knows that be knowi' 

 Is a wise man. Follow bim." 



We are forcibly reminded of this 

 truth in reading the Dreer offering of 

 up-to-date cannas. If anyone knows 

 cannas it is Eugene .Michel, the Dreer 

 expert. Nothing is ever offered that 

 has not previously gone through cru 

 cial tests of years' standing. I have 

 told the story many times but it can 

 never be too often repeated.
