 54 acre park between Harrison and

 show in the appropriations. 



Some good advice is being received 

 by Chicago florists this week. It comes 

 from a leading pottery firm and is so 

 good we give it in full, with an axldi- 

 tion of two words, "Early to bed, early 

 to rise; Cut the weeds and swat the 

 flies; Mind your business and don't 

 tell lies; Pay your debts; use enter- 

 prise; and buy from those who adver- 

 tise" in Horticulture.

 pions in this vicinity. C. L. Washburn

islliii Willi ii S.I uii Since September 

 he has been cutting steadily and his 

 customers are very much pleased with 

 the color and keeping qualities of

A. .Miller of the A. Henderson Co., 

 has lately returned from a business

 summer heat prevailing there. This 

 firm is now busy filling their orders 

 for poinsettias and cyclamen, the lat- 

 ter growing more popular each year 

 with growers. This is especially 

 noticeable since the great improve- 

 ment in varieties offered. 



Outdoor work, from that of tlie sim- 

 plest bedding to that of the highest 

 product of the "landscape engineer" 

 is far behind the date fixed by custom 

 for completing the spring work. After 

 nearly a month of rain the few days 

 of warmth and sunshine were quickly 

 followed by a drop in temperature. 

 With 96 degrees in the shade on Sun- 

 day every one was out of doors and 

 the result was that a new batch of 

 orders was added to the long list of 

 unfilled ones already waiting. That 

 the temperature dropped again to al- 

 most winter was a blessing to those 

 who have the waiting beds to fill for 

 our short summers make owners im- 

 patient of delay.
