NEWS NOTES. 



Maspeth, N. Y. — Herman Maenner, 

 florist. Collins and Mt. Olivet avenues, 

 expects to retire from business about 

 July 1st. 



Red Hook, N. Y. — The partnership 

 between Pells & Van Steinburgh has 

 been dissolved. Walter Van Stein- 

 burgh is now conducting tlie business. 



Goldbar, Wash. — J. L. Kreider has 

 purchased land in Everett and will 

 move his establishment there. He in- 

 tends to grow cut flowers, plants and 

 vegetables and carry a full line of 

 nursery stock, making a specialty of 

 roses, shrubs and ornamentals. 



Fitchburg, Mass. — Nine acres of 

 land are to be secured tor the estab- 

 lishment of a playground and agricul- 

 tural quarters for the State Normal 

 School, the city co-operating with the 

 state. The Mayor has authorized a 

 draft for Fitchburg to pay for the 

 grading, erection of hot houses, etc., 

 the price not to exceed $5,000. 



Some men do business on 

 the principle that the world 

 owes them a living. That's 

 a mistake. The world owes 

 you nothing. If you have 

 health you are lucky and 

 that's all you deserve with- 

 out working for it. Some 

 growers work on about the 

 same principle in handling 

 lily bulbs. They buy good 

 bulbs, stick them in the 

 dirt and expect good re- 

 sults. You have to take 

 care of good lily bulbs just 

 as you do everything for 

 the best results. Give them 

 as good attention as you 

 would a pet horse anyway. 

 Don't drown them with 

 water when they don't need 

 it, and don't blame bulbs 

 for rotting when poor soil 

 and drainage is the cause. 

 Take care of your bulbs, 

 keep them free from green- 

 fly, feed them manure wat- 

 er, and give them careful 

 attentio r; that's the way to 

 produce the best average. 

 There are no better lily 

 bulbs imported than Horse- 

 shoe Brand — from the fin- 

 est fields of Japan.
