NEWPORT, R. I. 



Horticiiltural Society Meeting. 



V At the meeting of the Newport Horti- 

 cultural Society last week it was an- 

 nounced that the dates for the midsum- 

 mer flower show of the society would 

 be changed. The dates are to be ad- 

 vanced one week, to August 17, 18 and 

 19, so as not to conflict with the an- 

 nual meeting of the American Gladiolus 

 Society, which will be held in Boston. 



Bruce Butterton read an interesting 

 paper on "The Boxwood and Its Ene- 

 mies," in which he spoke of some of 

 the pests that infest boxwood. A la- 

 dies' night is being arranged and a 

 committee to take charge of the affair 

 was appointed, consisting of William 

 Smith, William Mackay, Andrew 

 Meikle, William Gray and Bruce But- 

 terton. Two lectures are to be given 

 before the club during the next two 

 months. March 28 Prof. Burt L. Hart- 

 well, of Kingston, will speak on "How 

 Plants Feed. ' ' April 25, E. H. Wheeler, 

 of Jamaica Plain, Mass., will lecture 

 on "Flowers and Gardens of Japan." 



James Bond exhibited a vase of 

 tulips, Glory of Haarlem, which was 

 awarded a cultural certificate by the 

 society. 



Various Notes. 



The land and greenhouses on the J. J. 

 Van Allen estate, Morton avenue, are 

 announced for sale. 



Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stewart Eitchie

DETROIT. 



The Market. 



Business was quite brisk last week. 

 We are still having real winter weather; 

 several inches of snow fell today, March 

 20. Stock of all kinds, excepting Beau- 

 ties, is in good supply and of fine qual- 

 ity. There is a good supply of plants. 

 Everyone is anticipating a big Easter, 

 judging from the orders already placed 

 with the plant specialists. 



Various Notes. 



The (Ladies' Auxiliary of the Detroit 

 Florists' Club combined business with 

 pleasure March 15, when it meK-a/the 

 home of Mrs. Cha'rles Plumb. 



Herman Pautke, for many years fore- 

 man at the Breitmeyer Mack avenue 

 greenhouses, soon will give up his posi- 

 tion to start in business for himself. 

 William Breitmeyer will take charge 

 of the greenhouses. 



The Bemb Floral Co. is pushing bird 

 houses stronger than ever this season. 

 One of the large windows is banked to 

 the ceiling with bird houses of the 

 company's own manufacture. H. S.

DIRT BANDS 



Very soon every grower will be mak- 

 ing free use of dirt bands for the grow- 

 ing of all plants. Certainly, no florist 

 can afford to pass them by. They are 

 time and money savers, producing better 

 plants at less cost and with less labor. 

 It simply is a question of getting the 

 best band. 



Our new BEADY-USE dirt band tells 

 its own story. Send a postal for free 

 samples and see how it does it. It comes 

 to you ready to set the plant in, which 

 means saving of very valuable time re- 

 quired to fold the ordinary strips of 

 paper commonly offered for bands. 



We make plain bands, too, from high- 

 grade, hard finish stock. Samples will 

 be sent. Compare them with others and 

 put them to any test. It is not how 

 cheap, but how good, is our motto.
