PEONIES 



Cool weather has been a wonderful help to the 

 quality of the Peonies. Our local stock is probably 

 the choicest we have ever handled, which we can supply in any 

 quantity, all colors.

general way Mr. McKubbin thought 

 the "chances nine to one against the in- 

 experienced person making a com- 

 mercial success of food products under 

 glass even at this time. 



Continuing on this same subject with 

 a grower who has been successful with 

 both flowers and vegetables under 

 glass, it was learned that skill is re- 

 quired in selection of crops and time 

 for growing and marketing them, as 

 well as in their cultivation. For in- 

 stance, radishes, he said, have been 

 profitably grown after chrysanthe- 

 mums, when the radishes are not too 

 closely planted. They may be followed 

 by lettuce and these in turn by to- 

 matoes. Only a mere jumping into 

 vegetable growing helter-skelter will 

 not do. Success demands care. 



Coal. 



A florist who was deeply interested 

 in the burning question called at his 

 bank a few days ago in search of in- 

 formation. 



"Do you think," he asked tlie 

 cashier, "that government control of 

 the coal miner would affect prices?" 



"What do you know?" the cashitM- 

 asked. 



"Oh, merely that the war has in- 

 creased the demand, that some miners 

 have gone home to fight, and that just 

 now there is a scare." 



"Add to that," the cashier replied, 

 "that the labor unions antagonize oajv

At The London. 



W. B. Tabor assures me that May 

 has not been a brisk inontli at the 

 London Flower Shop, but he adds that 

 the season has l)een so good that, even 

 so, the net result is liighly gratifying. 

 Mr. Tabor thinks it is fortunate for 

 florists that the war scare did not come
