The Best Rose Decoration Ever Accomplished by Max Scbliog. 



The fact that a passageway con- 

 structed above a street to connect build- 

 ings on opposite sides was high enough 

 not to interfere with traflSc along , the 

 street was held by the Maryland Court 

 of Appeals not to relieve it from be- 

 ing a nuisance as against an adjacent 

 property owner, whose light is thereby 

 obstructed. (Townsend vs. Epstein, 49 

 Atlantic Eeporter 629.) 



Authority for saying that a city is 

 liable for injury to a property owner 

 caused by permitting an excavation to 

 remain in a street in such way as to 

 obstruct travel is found in a decision 

 of the New York Court of Appeals.

MAX SCHLING'S BEST. 



Max Schling, the original and ener- 

 getic New York retail florist, has to 

 his credit many unique decorations and 

 arrangements, yet the success of which 

 he is most proud has nothing whatever 

 of originality in it. The accompany- 

 ing illustration shows Mr. Schling 's 

 best. The roses are good, but nothing, 

 in the florist's opinion, compares with 

 the central feature of the arrangement

OBASSHOPFEB DESIGN. 



Among the many orders for unusual 

 floral designs, few present more diffi- 

 culty to the make-up artist than one re- 

 cently given the Kalisch Bros. Floral 

 Co., St. Louis, Mo. It was for a large 

 grasshopper, the trade-mark of a print- 

 ing house for whose opening the piece 

 was ordered. How the make-up artist 

 overcame the obstacles of this particu- 

 lar order can be seen by the reader for 

 himself in the accompanying illustra- 

 tion. Koses and carnations were the 

 principal flowers used. A few other 

 kinds were made use of for particular 

 parts of the piece. 



WOULD CHANGE MEMOBIAL DAY. 



Herbert F. Warren, proprietor of the 

 Peony Gardens, at Trumbull, Neb., is 

 sponsor for a movement to change the 

 date of Memorial day, according to the 

 Denver Post, which stated: 



"Vo' enable florists to have three 

 days in which to prepare for Memorial 

 day business, Herbert F. Warren, of 

 Trumbull, Neb., has started a movement 

 to have Memorial day changed from 

 May 30 to the first Thursday in June 

 of each year. 'This,' says Mr. Warren, 

 'would allow three days for prepara- 

 tion and transportation, and one day, 

 Friday, to straighten up shop, and all 

 could be ready to worship God on the 

 day that they thought right.' " 



July 3, 1914. The liquidator points out 

 that the nurseries are more valuable 

 this year, in some respects, than they 

 were last year. While the stock is in 

 good condition, it is unsalable, and 

 there is no prospect of any income be- 

 ing derived from it until next spring. 

 The liquidator adds that the company 

 has "no money, and cannot borrow any, 

 since it can not offer tangible security. 

 An offer has been made for the pur- 

 chase of the assets, subject to an op- 

 tion for sixty days, which is under 

 consideration. Among the trade credi- 

 tors with unsecured claims are:

BOOTING CrUTTINGS IN FBAMES. 



Kindly .Advise me how to build a 

 coldframe in which to root rose cut- 

 tings. Is manure necessary? 



C. B.— Ohio. 



A coldframe with plank sides, dug 

 out so as to allow room for a foot of 

 stable manure, which should be moist, 

 mixed with some leaves to prevent vio- 

 lent heating and thoroughly tramped, 

 will root rose cuttings nicely during 

 the last half of July and the first half 

 of August. Cover the manure with four 

 inches of sandy loam and put the cut- 

 tings in this. It is not absolutely nec- 

 essary to have bottom heat, but the 

 cuttings will root earlier in it.
