BALTIMORE NOTES. 

 It is planned to increase the gar- 

 dens at the new home of the Johns 

 Hopkins University and to build an 

 additional greenhouse. The garden 

 was laid out some three years ago by 

 Mr. William H. Witte, the superin- 

 tendent, and under his direction it 

 has been enlarged from time to time. 

 It was established primarily for pur- 

 poses of botanical research work in 

 connection with the University, but it 

 is open to the public. For the benefit 

 of the latter, every plant, tree and 



bush is labeled and entered in a cata- 

 logue, a copy of which is given to 

 those who may be interested. 



Mr. Louis C. C. Krieger, well known 

 to florists throughout the country by 

 reason of his work for the United 

 States Agricultural Department, is 

 visiting in this city. Mr. Krieger who 

 is an artist, is at present located in 

 Cambridge, Mass., where he is en- 

 gaged in illustrating the work on the 

 cryptogamic flora of the United States 

 which is being prepared by Dr. W. G. 

 Fallow, t he famous Harvard botanist. 



<J The other day I visited a small 

 town not far from New York to see 

 what business might be done, t 

 concluded to visit the oldest 

 blishment first and when I 

 .arrived there an old disgrunted dis- 

 budder came out of the house, 

 cleaning his teeth via the vacuum 

 method ; said he had bought for 

 20 years from one house and cal- 

 culated they were good enough for 

 him, besides he used Callas since 

 the Harrisii had gone wrong. I 

 asked him if any other florist in 

 town grew bulbs and he said there 

 was only one other and he was a 

 young snip who knew nothing 

 about the business, and used no 

 lilies that he knew of. So of course, 

 I knew the young fellow must be 

 of some account since the old man 

 had belittled him. Sure enough, 

 I found the young fellow up and 

 busy. He had more business about 

 him in a minute than the old man 

 in a clay and after a five minute con- 

 versation he bought what he needed 

 and went about his work. Before 

 I left I asked him about the old 

 man and was told that he was a 

 reliable man who bought some 

 bulbs and was advised to see him. 

 I thought to myself what a differ- 

 ence in humanity and between the 

 old and the young in business, but 

 said nothing. The old fellow is a 

 throw-back from the Black Ages — 

 and will never amount to a row of 

 pins. The Good Shepherd knows 

 we don't want any Horseshoe 

 Brand boxes around his back yard, 

 but the younger man we want and 

 we will keep his trade for he is 

 worthy of respect and business 

 confidence. — Ward.
