A GOOD FERTILIZER. 



An analysis of Blachtord's Plant 

 Grower and Land Renovator, which is 

 advertised in our Business Directory 

 on page 298. gives the following com- 

 ponents: Total Nitrogen, o.oO per 

 cent.; soluble Potash, 6.00 per cent.; 

 available Phosphorous Acid, 5.25 per 

 cent.; soluble Potassium, 5. mi per 

 cent.; available Phosphorous, 2.25 per 

 cent.; total Phosphorous, 4.50 per 

 cent.; total Phosphorous Acid, 10.50 

 per cent. 



These proportions, being guaranteed 

 by the manufacturer, tell the story 

 of the value of this fertilizer, and, in 

 the quantity recommended for green- 

 house benches, 30 lbs. to 50 square 

 feet of bench soil, it should give re- 

 sults that would quickly place it in the 

 list of indispensables.

I NEWS NOTES. 



I The Colonial Flower Shop, 304 S. 

 I Main street, Goshen, Ind., is a new 

 claimant for favor. 



Winthrop L. Lewis of Marlboro, 

 Mass., will open a flower store in Bos- 

 ton at an early date. 



Miss Dora Brown has started in the 

 florist business in the Mehnert room. 

 North Main street. Goshen. Ind. 



Prof. Frank \V. Rane of New Hamp- 

 shire has been nominated by Gov. 

 Guild as state forester for Massachu- 

 setts. 



R. W. Barrows has taken the green- 

 houses of Hale & Barten. Meriden, 

 Conn., and is making extensive im- 

 provements 



Messrs. Bryant and Arp, who re- 

 cently purchased the business of 

 Nichols & Lorton at Davenport, Iowa, 

 have taken out papers of incorporation 

 as The Davenport Nursery Co., with a 

 capital of $25,000. The business of H. 

 G. Bryant is also included. 



The two flower markets in Boston 

 have had their annual auction sale 

 of choice of stalls, the amount of pre- 

 miums realized being about $3,000 in 

 each instance, an advance in the ag- 

 gregate over last year's sales. Stall 

 holders are not paying the high pre- 

 miums they did a year or two ago for 

 first choice, as between the two estab- 

 lishments, there are stalls enough 

 for all who wish, but the average 

 amount of premiums holds up well. 



After a six years' engagement with 

 Hon. E. S. Draper, Thos. Heskey has 

 started as a commercial florist at 

 Grafton, Mass. He has two large mod- 

 ern houses in which are planted over 

 6,000 carnations in admirable con- 

 dition. If Mr. Heskey's health will 

 permit, with his energj- and thorough 

 knowledge and the assistance of his 

 two sons, both of whom seem to have 

 been born with their father's love for 

 the profession, a prosperous future 

 seems assured.
