KNOXVILLE NOTES. 



Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Dailey are con- 

 templating attending the S. A. F. & 

 O. H. Convention in Boston. 



Charles L. Baum is very anxious to 

 get everything in shape before the Con- 

 vention. He is also preparing his re- 

 port as State Vice President of the S. 

 A. P. 



Addison J. McNutt is rebuilding 

 three houses in which he is using Gar- 

 land gutters and Advance fittings. He 

 is trying to get through in time to 

 attend the Convention in Boston. 



Weather conditions have been more 

 favorable for the past three weeks 

 than anytime this season, and conse- 

 quently everything has taken a new 

 start, and prospects are much better 

 than before. The florists of this vicin- 

 ity have been very busy planting of 

 late, but are about through now, and 

 taking the dry season into consider- 

 ation everything is looking fine. 



WASHINGTON NOTES. 



Walter Hawley, with Gude Bros. Co., 

 has returned from a visit to New York 

 and New York state points. 



George W. Hess and William P. Gude 

 and the latter's two sons, were the 

 guests of John Westcott, at Barnegat 

 Bay, last week. 



Appeals have been going forth for 

 subscriptions for the William R. Smith 

 Memorial fund and although it is but 

 about a week since the first letter was 

 mailed, many substantial replies have 

 already been received. It is hoped that 

 the contributions will continue until 

 the fund is of such size that not only 

 the fame of the late Mr. Smith be im- 

 mortalized, but that the memorial will 

 serve to increase the love for flowers 

 and advance the science as Mr. Smith 

 would wish it to be. 



CINCINNATI NOTES. 



Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Critchell spent 

 the week end last week with the 

 Hills at Richmond, lud. 



E. G. Gillett was called to Spring- 

 field, O.. last Wednesday because of 

 the death of his sister-in-law. 



Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Kyrk have signi- 

 fied their intention of attending the 

 S. A. F. & O. H. convention in Boston. 



Mrs. P. J. Olinger, who has been at 

 the hospital for a period of twenty- 

 one weeks following an operation is 

 at last recovering and expects to leave 

 that place within the next fortnight. 



The army worm which has been in- 

 festing Washington seems to have dis- 

 appeared, but an ofl'icial of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture who is an 

 authority on this subject, says that It 

 will reappear in the fall. Although 

 the pest seems to be yielding to the 

 frequent treatment of arsenate of lead 

 and other poisonous bait, it is feared 

 that the worms have merely burrowed 

 beneath the surface of the earth pre- 

 paratory to spinning their cocoons. If 

 this supposition be true, a new inva- 

 sion of even greater proportions may 

 be expected in the fall, it is stated.

Member of Florists' Telegraph DellTCT; 



Captain William H. Ernest reports 

 that he has received quite a large num- 

 ber of requests for reservations on the 

 boat which is to carry the Washington 

 and Baltimore florists to the Boston 

 convention. He states, however, that 

 as the time is getting shorter, those 

 who have not as yet signified their in- 

 tention of joining the party, should do 

 so as soon as possible. It would great- 

 ly aid the committee if it could be 

 furnished with all names not later 

 than the evening of the next meeting 

 which is to be held at 1214 F Street, 

 on August 4. From all accounts the 

 bowling team will be in fine form and 

 will probably be on deck at the ap- 

 pointed time.
