The Local Club. 

 I must not fail to mention the Terre 



Haute Florists' Club. Here is a city 

 of some 75,000 inhabitants which has 

 a florists' club that would be a credit' 

 to a city of three times its size. It was 

 largely due to its activities that this 

 meeting was so successful. That this club 

 stands well in the community, too, was 

 shown by the fine writeups that ap- 

 peared in the local newspapers the same 

 afternoon. 



We were pleased to again meet our 

 old friend, Henry Graham, who has re- 

 turned from the coast, to again take 

 charge of the business after the death 

 of his son, who had bought' it from 

 him. A. F. J. Baur. 



THE EASTEB AITNEX. 



The easiest way to increase the East- 

 er sales is to rent for a week some 

 vacant store, the nearer one's regular 

 stand the better. Any store will do, 

 even if it contains fixtures used for 

 some other line of business. There is 

 record of a Chicago retailer who last 

 Easter used a store that contained a 

 full equipment of jeweler's showcases

left over from a bankruptcy, and Johns- 

 ton Bros., of Providence, JR. I., used a 

 vacant banking-house, as shown in the 

 accompanying illustration. They found 

 it paid so well that before the end of 

 March they had secured a vacant store 

 to help talce care of the 1916 Easter 

 rush, which they opine will be the 

 "biggest ever."

"What is the best commercial fer- 

 tilizer for asters in heavy soil! How 

 much should be applied to each plant? 



M. B.— N. Y. 



I would have given the land a lib- 

 eral dressing of ground lime in the 

 fall and harrowed it in. If this was not 

 done, I would advise using a good po- 

 tato fertilizer. This need not contain 

 any potash. You can buy 'Some wood 

 ashes to supply that. Apply the fer- 

 tilizer at the rate of 600 pounds per 

 acre, and 300 to 400 pounds of wood 

 ashes. The amount per plant is hard 

 to determine, but the best plan is to 

 broadcast and harrow it in and not ap- 

 ply a small amount to each plant.

BOBDEB ABOUND FOUNTAIN. 



We should like to know what kind of 

 a plant to use for a border around a 

 fountain. The flowers of the plant 

 should be white and it should be about 

 twelve inches high. Your advice will 

 be greatly appreciated. S. B. — N. Y. 



Suitable plants would be Vinca rosea 

 alba, which grows a little more than a 

 foot high, however; Begonia gracilis, 

 white; Antirrhinum Tom Thumb, Gera- 

 nium La Favorite, dwarf zinnia and 

 single petunia. Probably one or an- 

 other of these may suit you. I am pre- 

 suming that you want something that 

 will bloom over as long a season as pos- 

 sible. C. W. 



Detroit, Mich. — M. Bloy and Joseph 

 Streit have decided to dissolve partner- 

 ship June 1. Mr. Bloy will continue the 

 business alone.
