How It 'Was Done. 



May 1.") there was planted iu Diuid 

 Hill ]iarl\ a scdieine of beds, consist iii;^ 

 df a i.arue rdund desijxn bed in the eon 

 ter. the jiauids of which were worked 

 out in altcrnanthoras and ecdieverias, 

 with, of course, the u^iial e(>nterpieoe. 

 In earli corner were four beds of cro- 

 •dii-i. which contained about 200 each 



was filled with soil and sodde.j .'md the 

 beds cut. Then a bed at a time was 

 transjilanted froin the park to its eoun 

 lerpart on the jdaza. The cidtons eaiiie 

 tirst. They had the diij.nmd iialis trom 

 the jiots, but the rotits tiny had made 

 this summer were all exposed. Old man 

 thoucrli I am in the business, T was skep 

 tical and then next day. nh<>ii the softer 

 stock put in its appeaiam i , I could not 

 help thinking of my eaily training in 

 •_^■lrdening, for the\- were planting that 

 -ruff without tlie -.nildaide dt earth dii 



the roots. It just goes to show lio\. 

 inueh our forefathers did not know. 



The Feat Accomplished. 



There has been i)lantod in their yire- 

 ent location in ten days some 50,00i 

 oi-dinary bedding plants, such as arc set'. 

 in any jiark, and it would take an ex 

 pert to tell they had not been growin 

 there till summer. There are other flora 

 s(heiiies at the original Odd Fellows 

 li.all, on (Jay street, and at tlic presen 

 h.ill, :it Cathedral and tSarjitoga street- 

 liiit space will not ]iermit a descriptioi> 

 lint the im]iortant jioiiit in all of this i 

 wli.at can be said with flowers. 



In coiudusion, a word about the inai 

 wild clesigned and exeeut(!d all of thi- 

 \V. II. Kramer, head gardener at Drui. 

 Hill park", is a jiroduct of that ]iark. 

 Iia\iiig gone to work there as a box. 

 and has never worked anywhere else, 

 leceisiug his training from siah men 

 ,is the lat(! AV'illiani llaiuiltdu ami

 ti\e city are jiroud of his success, tor 

 when it comes to bedding he is .i wi/.ani
