BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS. 



Little Rock, Ark. — Charles C. Waters, 

 referee in bankruptcy, has closed the 

 case of Paul M. Palez by declaring a 

 second and final dividend of six and 

 one-fifth per cent, which has been paid 

 to creditors. November 11, 1915, a first 

 dividend of five per cent was paid, 

 making a total of eleven and one-fifth 

 per cent realized by creditors in this 

 case. Mr. Palez some time ago resumed 

 business. 



Boston, Mass. — The Transcript under 

 date of August 15 states that Mosea 

 Penn, at 35 Hollander street, has filed 

 a petition in bankruptcy, in which lia- 

 bilities are given as $6,057 and assets 

 nothing. This has no connection with 

 Penu tiie Florist, on Trcmont street. 



MOTT-LY MUSINGS. 



S. J. Reu'ter & Son, of Westerly, 

 E. I., are having the grower 's diffi- 

 culties with weather. "If Jupiter 

 Pluvius is not soon replaced by old 

 King Sol, ' ' remarked Louis Renter, 

 "we will think of going into the pro- 

 duction of aquatics. ' ' 



Conrad Schulz, also of Westerly, says 

 his carnations are doing finely, planted 

 on high ground. The season at Watch 

 Hill opened auspiciously and a long 

 one is anticipated. S. S. Pennock is 

 seen occasionally, looking over the car- 

 nation plantations during his summer 

 sojourn here — just to keep in trim, so 

 to speak. 



Lawrence Hay, of Eumford, R. I., 

 who has the contract for keeping in 

 order the fine grounds of the Agawam 

 Hunt Club,' says this has been his 

 dampest season on the emerald. His 

 place near the entrance is most attrac- 

 tive. The demand for plants and nur- 

 serv stock is increasing annually. 



C. W. Patt & Son and D. N. Potter 

 are the principal market gardeners in 

 Auburn, R, T., and are having the same 

 experience in marketing their produce 

 as many eastern growers. Quoting 

 C. W. Patt: "It is hard when we 

 have the goods that we cannot readily 

 get them to market, especially when 

 prices are so good." This did not refer 

 to beans, of which I saw large quan-

Thomas Pattison, of West Haven, 

 Conn., makes a fine display of carpet 

 bedding on his lawn and receives many 

 encomiums from the crowds that pass 

 on their way to Savin Rock. "I am a 

 firm believer in judicious advertising," 

 remarked Mr. Pattison, "and do as 

 much as I feel the business requires." 



MARIGOLDS UNDER GI.ASS. 



Will you please advise me when to 

 sow marigold seed to have plants in 2%- 

 inch pots by October? How far apart 

 should the plants be set in the benches? 



Q. D. B.— Ky. 



As the African and French marigolds 

 have little or no value as cut flowers, I 

 presume you have calendulas in mind. 

 Their flowers are somewhat similar to 

 those of the true marigolds. Calendulas 

 have become quite an important flower 

 under glass and will bloom over a long 

 season. Sow the seeds on or about 

 September 1 and pot off the plants 



singly as soon as they are large enough 

 to handle They will be sufficiently 

 large and strong enough to bench early 

 in October. Set the plants in rows 

 twenty-four inches apart and allow 

 eighteen inches between the plants. 

 Use such soil as you would for mums 

 or carnations. Give the plants a night 

 temperature of 48 to 50 degrees in win- 

 ter. Raised benches in winter are pref- 

 erable to solid beds, but the latter 

 prove more satisfactory after the early 

 part of March. C. W. 



LILIES IN NORTHERN OHIO. 



Will you kindly tell me whether Lil- 

 iuni giganteum, L. auratum, L. longi- 

 florum and L. rubrum are perfectly 

 hardy in northern Ohio? How are can- 

 didum lilies managed in order to have 

 blooms on the market now? Mine bloom 

 the last of June. F. M. P.— O. 



Lilium auratum and L. speciosum, 

 which, I presume, you mean by rubrum, 

 should prove perfectly hardy in north- 

 ern Ohio, providing you plant the bulbs 

 nine to twelve inches deep, on well
