NOT THE SAME KIND. 



The anxious mother rings up what she 

 thinks is the day nursery tO' ask for some 

 advice as to her child. She asks the 

 central for the nursery, and is given Mr. 

 Gottfried Gluber, the florist and tree 

 dealer. The following conversation en- 

 sues: 



"I called up the nursery. Is this the 

 nursery?" 



' ' Yes, ma 'am. ' ' 



"I am so worried about my little 

 Eose. ' ' 



"Vat seems to be der madder?" 



"Oh, not so very much, perhaps, but 

 just a general listlessness and lack of 

 life. ' ' 



"Ain'd growing righd, eh?" 



"No, sir." 



"Veil, I dell you vat you do. You 

 dake der skissors und cut off apoud two 

 inches vrom der limbs, und — " 



"Wha-a-at?" 



"I say, dake der skissors und ciit off

"Wha-a-at?" 



' ' Turn der garten hose on for apoud 

 four hours in der morning, und den pile 

 a lot of plack dirt all around, und

"Sir-r-r?" 



"Shpringle mit insegt ])owter all ofer 

 der top. You know usually id is nod- 

 dings but pugs dot — " 



"How dare you? What do you mean 

 by such language ? ' ' 



"Noddings but pugs dot chenerally 

 causes der troubles; und den you vant to 

 va.sh der rose mit a liguid breparations 

 I haf for sale — " 



" Who in the world are you, anywav? ' ' 



' ' Gottfried Gluber. der florist. ' ' 



' ' O-o-oh ! ' ' weakly. ' ' Good-by ! ' '— 

 Buffalo Express. 



' * The Review has been a welcome vis- 

 itor the past year; it is very instructive, 

 just what every florist ought to have." 

 — S. M. Wyatt, Watseka, 111.

 without one as well as the other. —
