Maryland, Jonkheer J. L. Mock, Ophe- 

 lia and Mrs. Aaron Ward. He also 

 offers in the same section a $50 prize 

 for the best collection of climbing roses 

 in flower. 



A splendid location has been decided 

 on for the exhibits of retailers, and J. 

 J. HabermehPs Sons, of Philadelphia, 

 have reserved 600 square feet in this 

 section. This reservation, with the oth- 

 ers previously reported, insures a good 

 representation of retailers. The or- 

 chestra is to be placed on a platform 

 over the aisle leading from the main 

 floor to the main floor extension, a po- 

 sition which is acoustically good and 

 which forms a connecting link between 

 the two floors. 



The ladies having charge of the tea 

 garden at the New York show are ar- 

 ranging to visit the Philadelphia show 

 in a body, the friendly rivalry existing 

 between the two cities in regard to 

 their respective tea gardens creating 

 quite an interest in the entertainment 

 features of both shows. The Boy Scouts 

 of Philadelphia will of&ciate as ushers 

 at the show, and will place themselves 

 at the service of the visitors with their 

 usual ability. 



The schedule for the show includes 

 an aquarium exhibit such as never be- 

 fore attempted. Aquatic plants will, of 

 course, be a feature in this section. 

 There are over fifty classes in this sec- 

 tion, and it will prove to be a unique 

 feature of the show. The final sche- 

 dule now is in the printers' hands and 

 will be distributed about March 1. The 

 trade space on the main floor now is 

 practically all reserved, but some ex- 

 cellent locations on the main floor ex- 

 tension, which will be a popular sec- 

 tion of the show, are available.

EXTEEMINATOR OF MEALY BUG. 



Please inform me of the best exter- 

 minator for the insects enclosed. They 

 appear to be a kind of mealy bug and 

 are troubling the geraniums as well as 

 other plants. C. A. P. — Me. 



If it is mealy bug you have, the best 

 remedy is a force of water from the 

 hose, properly directed through a spray 

 nozzle. The bugs can be killed by 

 fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas, 

 but this is likely to cause some damage 

 unless used with extreme care in a 

 mixed collection of plants. C. W. 



THE HILL CHANGES. 



In pursuance of its plans for the ex- 

 tension of the business of the Hill 

 family at Richmond, Ind., it has been 

 decided to separate the establishments 

 and July 1 Joseph H. Hill will take 

 over the new carnation range, the 

 Graves place and the Cincinnati retail 

 store. The rose range will retain the 

 name of the E. G. Hill Co. The Indi- 

 anapolis retail store will continue under 

 this direction but using the distinct 

 corporate title, the Hill Floral Co. A 

 separate corporation also may be or- 

 ganized to carry on the Cincinnati 

 store. A contract has been made with 

 the Lord & Burnham Co., through its 

 Chicago oflBce, for the addition of two 

 houses at the Joseph Hill place, one a 

 growing house 60x400, "the other a 

 propagating house 26x212. It will be 

 recalled that a few years ago the orig-

inal Hill place on the other side of 

 town was turned over to Fred H. 

 Lemon, to be conducted under the name 

 Lemon & Co. 



Under the new form of decentralized 

 organization each member of the fam- 

 ily and each establishment will spe- 

 cialize, although all will work together 



in close cooperation. The E. G. Hill 

 Co., with E. G. Hill, Earl Mann and 

 Miss Sarah Hill at its head, will spe- 

 cialize on roses; Joseph H. Hill and his 

 establishment will specialize on carna- 

 tions, and Fred H. Lemon will continue 

 to center his attention on pot plants 

 and the local retail trade.
