 FAVORITE FLOWER 



"There are no birds in last year's nests," 

 No dollar bills in last year's vests; 

 And 'tisn't wise to hope that "scads" 

 Will still flow in from last year's ads. 



—Saturday Evening Tost. 



In a Retailer's Ad. 



•Tack and Jill went hunting flowers; 

 They quit; none were so good as ours. 



Because Their Brays Are Bonnie. 



A new team of white mules was as- 

 signed to a Scottish teamster employed 

 by Poehlmann Bros. Co. He named one 

 Max, the other Welton. One guess! 



Why He Bushed. 



The reading lesson was in progress 

 and a pupil was reading for the sec- 

 ond time a thrilling passage about a 

 woman drowning herself : 



"She threw herself into the river. 

 Her husband, horror-stricken, rushed 

 to the bank — " 



"Tell me," said the teacher, "why 

 the husband rushed to the bank." 



Quick and sharp came the response: 

 "Please, ma'am, to get money to buy 

 flowers for the funeral." — Minneapolis 

 Journal. 



Roses for Remembrance. 



A tourist recently stopped for a drink 

 of milk at an Irish cottage. He noticed 

 on a dresser a brick with a faded red 

 rose on the top of it. 



"Why do you keep these!" 



"Sure, sir," was the reply, "there's 

 memories bangin' about them. Do you 

 see this big dent in my head? Well, it 

 was the brick done it, sir." 



"But the rose?" asked the tourist. 



His host smiled quietly 



"The rose, sir, is off the grave of the 

 man what f Ijrew the brick. ' ' — Southern 

 Merchant. 



Dunbar, Pa. — Although there is not 

 much left here, as the place was 

 washed out two years in succession, 

 what is left is working and Wm. Har- 

 vey says there is a good demand for 

 everything at present. 



SfMtt Calls, S. D. — Liebl & Hessel 

 have gone to Chicago to buy the ma- 

 terial for another greenhouse, which 

 will be erected in time for fall business. 

 Xhfty also have purchased a 5-acre tract 

 of IflMi^ which will be used as a nurs- 

 ery. 



Connersville, Ind. — Charles A. Rieman 

 believes his advertising copy is more 

 effective in verse form. It has the ad- 

 vantage that it is nearly always read 

 through, as the rhythm and rhyme serve 

 to carry the reader onward. 



Barre, Mass. — Mr. and Mrs. George 

 R. Simonds observed the fortieth anni- 

 versary of their marriage May 30. Mr. 

 Simonds is 62 years old; he entered the 

 florists' business when he was over 40 

 and now conducts the Simonds Floral 

 Co. 



Crawfordaville, Ind. — William Parker, 

 manager of the McDonald Flower Co., is 

 recovering from the- effects of a snake- 

 bite, believed to have been inflicted by 

 a copperhead. The bite was a deep one 

 and caused his arm to swell to alarming 

 proportions. 



Allenhurst, N. J. — The Allenhurst 

 Greenhouses report quite good business. 

 This concern specializes in Japanese 

 landscape gardening, a style which is 

 increasing in popularity quite rapidly. 

 Two houses of Lord & Burnham. con- 

 struction are being added. 



Stoneham, Mass. — S. Kameyana suf- 

 fered a loss of about $200 when his oil 

 store set fire to his lodgings at his 

 greenhouses on Wright street court re- 

 cently. The owner lost an equal amount, 

 as the building was damaged in places, 

 but his loss is covered by insurance. 



Milford, N. H. — Howard Carlton, who 

 has been in the poultry business here 

 for sixteen years, has left that industry 

 to become a vegetable grower. He will 

 erect a greenhouse, 20x100 feet, and 

 make cucumbers, lettuce and tomatoes 

 his principal crop the coming year. 



Flainwell, Mich. — There is no possi- 

 bility of early depletion of the supply 

 of hardy ferns or green sheet moss, 

 for in this locality there are millions of 

 ferns and carloads of moss as yet un- 

 touched. Walter Scott, the local florist, 

 is planning to pack and ship some of 

 the stock this season. 



Tampa, Fla.— The Knull Floral Co. 

 has disposed of the second motor car 

 used for delivery and bought one of 

 the new trailers, which is attached to 

 the rear axle of the car by means of 

 the Bradley shaft snap. This has 

 proved the most satisfactory delivery 

 system the company has had, as well as 

 a great saving in money, as the cost 

 of the trailer was no more than the 

 upkeep of the old car for one month. 

 Yi. R. Reasoner, of the Royal Palm 

 Nurseries, Oneco, Fla.. was a re(?ent 

 visitor and spent the day with F. A. 

 Knull, driving in the latter 's automo- 

 bile on the fine roads that there are 

 now in this vicinitv.
