pean stock has been found to be so 

 clean that his department inspects it 

 only perfunctorily. This is what he 

 then said: 



We find that stock coming from Holland Is, 

 almost without exception, free from Insect pests 

 and beautifully packed. This Is also true of 

 azaleas shipped from Belgium. These latter 

 plants reach us in such fine shape and so free 

 from insect pests that we have adopted the plan 

 of allowing tlie importer to unpack shipments, 

 keeping them together, and preserving all tags, 

 records, and numbers on boxes (burning pack- 

 ing), pending the arrival of tlie inspector. This 

 saves us additional trips to a distant locality 

 to examine small consignments arriving later 

 than the main part of the shipment. 



It is amazing that a man of standing, 

 after giving the Holland and Belgium 

 stock a clean bill of health, should with- 

 in a year recommend its exclusion from 

 the country. 



LINCOLN, ILL. 



The employees of the Gullett & Sons 

 wholesale cut flower department and 

 wholesale pot plant department enjoyed 

 their annual picnic Thursday, August 2. 

 The trip to the grounds on Salt creek, 

 near Baker's fish trap, was made in 

 hayracks, automobile trucks and other 

 conveyances. A fine time was had in 

 bathing, swimming, fishing and general 

 outdoor sports. Seventy-five employees 

 were in attendance. It was an all-day 

 affair, an all-around success. 



The committee in general charge of 

 the arrangements consisted of three men 

 from the wholesale cut flower depart- 

 ment, Chris Lcithauser, Roy Conklin 

 and Walter Sieloff, and two men from 

 the wholesale plant department, Lons- 

 dale Copeland and Albert Sieloff. The 

 ample provisions and the program of 

 sports attested to the efficiency of the 

 committee.
