Speaking of the abandonment of As- 

 paragus plumosus strings from the 

 list of greenhouse products of Chicago, 

 O. Freese. of Poehlmann Bros., at- 

 tributes it to the result of a fire ordi- 

 nance forbidding its use in store de- 

 corations, which shut off its greatest 

 avenue of sale. The sprays can be so 

 successfully shipped from the South 

 that greenhouse space can be used to 

 better advantage than in growing 

 them, so both strings and sprays are 

 more seldom found now than formerly.

 trade in the interest of McHutchison

 land were destroyed by submarines.

 ones. Jas. McHutchison met Mr. 

 Knickman here and they went to- 

 gether to Milwaukee to attend the 

 nurserymen's convention, after which 

 Mr. Knickman returns here and then 

 leaves for California.

 ing for the purchase and distribution 

 of Congressional free seeds. It is ex- 

 pected, however, that the Senate will 

 later agree to again making the pur- 

 chase of these seeds, as it has in pre-

 House has already adopted the provi- 

 sion and it will be conceded to when 

 the bargaining starts after the bill 

 goes to conference.
