house cleaning must be finished. A 

 tremendous job! The spring shipping 

 rush being over, the houses must all be 

 gone over, plants shifted and reset, 

 space under the benches cleaned, pots 

 straightened, rubbish carted away. 

 "While this is being done the outside 

 grounds must be kept cultivated free 

 from weeds, and such stock as Is under 

 irrigation must be watered. Then there 

 are the frames to be filled with tender 

 stock, and the orders to be kept moving. 

 Add to this the same work, somewhat 

 modified, at Riverview and outside work 

 at Locust Farm and some idea can be 

 formed of the amount of work that 

 must be done in a short time. Large 

 nvimbers of extra men are brought in for 

 the rush, but even with these additional 

 forces it would be impossible to get 

 things done properly without efficient 

 leaders and the Dreer spirit above all. 

 The Dreer spirit! A good parallel 

 may be taken from the history of the 

 British in India. There a handful of 

 officerg working together, with native 

 followers to obey their orders, control 

 wb«Je provinces of an empire under most 

 unfavorable tropical conditions, heat, 

 jungle, mountains. The Dreer spirit 

 makes possible the accomplishment of 

 great things horticultural in a quiet, 

 unassuming way scarce known to those 

 who are not brought in contact with the 

 work in their daily lives, tinless they 

 stop to measure what i» accomplished 

 each vear and know the obstacles. 



Various Notes. 



Frank Hunter has purchased the 

 greenhouses and stock of Macaw Bros.,

 the side benches in ferns.
