Hadley and Milady (Mr. Towill's own) 

 and Eosalind Orr English. It is so fine 

 a thing that Mr. Towill's admirers are 

 talking about American Legion and 

 American Beauty as though the rose list 

 ended right there. The great man was 

 evidently taken with the rose. Its un- 

 usual color, its vigor, its freedom of 

 bloom appealed to him. His name and 

 whether he decided to plant a house 

 with American Legion may not be here 

 disclosed. For this information you will 

 have to ask Edward Towill, of Koslyn. 



Porto Elco. 



The event of the week was the de- 

 parture of Eobert Craig for Porto Rico, 

 accompanied by two assistants and 150 

 bundles of sashbars. Mr. Craig sailed 

 from New York November 17. He will 

 go to his farm near San Juan. There 

 he will put in a water system and erect 

 sashbar houses. His idea is that sash- 

 bar houses will be more rigid than slat 

 houses and therefore not so easily blown 

 down. As soon as this work is com- 

 pleted dracffina canes and some other 

 specialties will be shipped him from 

 Norwood. They will be grown at the 

 farm in Porto Eico and 'sent back to 

 Norwood when ready. Since Porto Eico 

 is a part of our country, Quarantine 

 No. 37 does not affect these shipments. 

 It will be remembered that Mr. Craig 

 celebrated his golden wedding October 

 27. His enterprise is an inspiration to 

 us all. 



Various Notes. 



James A. Brown and Mrs. Brown, 

 of Indianapolis, Ind., stopped here on 

 their way home from abroad. Mr. 

 Brown will eat his Thanksgiving dinner 

 at home before going to his bulb and 

 berry farm, at Capitola, Cal. 



Charles H. Grakelow received a hand- 

 some Chandler 7-passenger sedan from 

 his fellow Elks November 16. The oc- 

 casion of the gift was his enrolling of 

 1,004 new members, for which memor- 

 able night the Metropolitan Opera house 

 was secured. 



Frank P. Gaucl resigned his posi- 

 tion with Frank M. Eoss November 15. 



William Berger's Sons have a new 

 Dodge car. 



Sydney H. Bayersdorfcr found it im- 

 possible to go to Tennessee, much as 

 he wished to do so. He sent his address. 



Henry C. Woltemate, the last of the 

 three brothers, all able florists, died un- 

 expectedly while asleep Sunday night,

 reproductions of the official emblems embossed In sold and the dUferent colon as

 keeping of such a stock of wire frames, and different colored flowera Jnst ase such 

 flowers as you have and then attach a FRAT-M with pasta to the chiffon, or by the 

 hang-er that comes for each, as a card, and that is all there la to It. exceptlns the 

 comment and commendatory talk for the florist. 



Just pick out a dozen of the mest used from the list foIlowlnK, enclosing |X0O
