opinion handed down by Judge Barber: 

 "We have no hesitation in concluding 

 that these dyed immortelles are 

 erly classifiable by similitude 

 served cut flowers. 



"As to the wreaths composed of such 

 dried and dyed immortelles, the evi- 

 dence is that the straw frame is of lit- 



prop- 

 as pre- 



tle value as compared with that of the 

 flowers composing the wreaths and the 

 wreaths themselves are without doubt 

 unenumerated manufactured articles. ' ' 

 This places immortelle wreaths in the 

 same classification as the immortelles 

 themselves for duty purposes.

The early morning of May 1 found 

 John Van Bochove, of Van Bochove & 

 Bro., Kalamazoo, Mich., enjoying the 

 relaxation of tempting the speckled 

 beauties, but with only fair success. 

 "Fishing is a game of chance," he 

 remarked, looking over a batch of state- 

 ments in anticipation of more satisfac- 

 tory returns. 



A run out to the Dunlop range at 

 Richmond Hill, Toronto, found every- 

 thing in order, nothing lacking in de- 

 tail, and construction and heating care- 

 fully planned with a view to expansion. 

 "We are 700 feet above the level of 

 the city," observed J. H. Dunlop, 

 "have splendid soil, an abundance of 

 light and water and," looking towards 

 the clouds, "plenty of wind. This 

 estate of some thirty acres, with the old 

 homestead and orchard, appealed to me 

 as an ideal spot, and we made no mis- 

 take in locating here. Stock ably grown 

 under such favorable conditions is of 

 the highest grade." The carnations 

 grown are Matchless, Good Cheer, Sen- 

 sation, Champion, Eosette and Enchant- 

 ress Supreme. Eoses, both grafted and 

 on own roots, are Mrs. Eussell, Shawyer, 

 Lady Alice Stanley, Ophelia and 

 Hoosier Beauty, all much at home. Had- 

 ley produces too much blind wood to 

 be regarded as a profitable commercial 

 sort. There are some seedlings of great 

 promise, among them a real red Eus- 

 sell. Ophelia, budded on Antoine Ei- 

 yoire, is another surprise, an innovation 

 in grafting in that, when planted deep, 

 three sets of roots are obtained, so that, 

 while slow in taking hold, the plant 

 makes a strong growth and, consequent- 

 ly, a more vigorous bush. Snapdragon 

 Dorothy, growing with the Eamsburg 

 variety, shows itself to be fully twice 

 the size in plant and flower, which is 

 of a delicate shade of pink. Mr. Dun- 

 lop, like most growers of seedlings, is 

 strong on pedigree and has looked up 

 his own. He traced his lineage back to 

 the time of William the Conqueror. The 

 coat of arms has been emblazoned on 

 the windows of the Dunlop store and 

 is rather nifty. Locally he is known 

 as the squire of Eichmond Hill. 



Philip Breitmeyer, of J. Breitmeyer 's 

 Sons, Detroit, in commenting on the ab- 

 normally good business conditions exist- 

 ing in Detroit, of which the trade ap- 

 pears to be enjoying a full share, pre- 

 dicted a continuance, for a time at 

 least, of these flourishing times. "We 



are continuing along the highest plane; 

 consequently we expect to retain and 

 increase the high-class patronage we 

 now enjoy," said Mr. Breitmeyer. 



Albert Pochelon, of Detroit and the 

 Florists' Telegraph Delivery, remarked 

 that, although the wires were working 

 nicely and even the wireless was pro- 

 ducing results, there were some who at 

 the start were a little shy of the pretty 

 houses built for birds. Now the bird 

 houses are so popular that the Bemb 

 Floral Co. is busy filling orders coming 

 from all directions. 



William Dilger, Detroit's landscape 

 architect and geologist, recently dis- 

 covered some rare specimens of the 

 stone age. They will be used in the 

 construction of a fine rockery for a 

 leading Detroiter, Mr, Dilger was ex- 

 pecting Philip Foley, of Chicago, to 

 accompany him on one of his periodic 

 tours across the border. 



Harry Balsley, of Detroit, says his 

 slogan is " 'Rah for Peace!" The 

 initials stand for his red flower pots 

 and every pot is intended for a flower 

 or olive branch, as it were. 



Hugo Schroeter, of Detroit, says the 

 storekeeper must enlarge his lines now- 

 adays to keep pace with the many 

 changes. He is adding a line of fertil- 

 izers and insecticides, having many 

 calls from out-of-town patrons. 



M. Bloy, another Detroiter, believes 

 this season will find the plant men ex- 

 tremely busy. His experience with short 

 help is being shared by others. With 

 stock so abundant and of superior qual- 

 ity, it is to be hoped everyone will be 

 able to get in his best work in good 

 time. 



Charles Plumb, of Detroit, has de- 

 cided to give up growing roses m town. 

 Ferns have been a specialty with him 

 many years, in addition to a general 

 line for retail trade. 



Joseph Streit is the latest addition 

 to the plant growers in Detroit. He 

 takes over the G. Taepke newer range 

 June 1 and expects to grow pot plants 

 exclusively. 



The Thomas Mansfield estate, at 

 Lockport, has decided to hold for an- 

 other year the stock of its two seedling 

 geraniums, one a clear, brilliant orange 

 and the other a rose-pink, both entirely 

 distinct and extremely striking. The 

 habit of growth and freedom of bloom 

 are all one could wish. W. M.
