 POWDER for some years and I liave 

 always found It flrst-class; there la 

 no dangrer of It bUlingr anytbincr ex- 

 cept the trreen fly, which It does 

 with dispatch. Ineveruseanythlnsr 

 else for Insecticide, nor do I wish 

 anything better. Yours truly.

 We use your PumUratlrfr Powder 

 and we are never troubled with 

 aphis; it Goes not harm the blooms 

 in the least, and we find It the 

 cheapest way to fumltrate— and we 

 have tried everything' that Is on the 

 market. 



Yours truly.

 After using: your Fumlgratlntr Pow- 

 der I must say that In fifteen years' 

 experience with various methods of 

 killing aphis, I find this the most 

 effectual and economical method I 

 have yet tried. 



Yours respectfully, 



Oborqe W. Thornily. 



Baysids. N. Y. 

 I have been using- your Fumigat- 

 ing Powder for the last three years 

 and find It very eflfectlve. It Is 

 cheaper than the extracts and does 

 not shrivel the carnation as stems 

 do. Smoking two nights in succes- 

 sion will kill the green fly. 



Yours truly, 

 • Wm. Bell.

KALAMAZOO. MICH, 



A recent visit to the various places in 

 and around this city was one of much 

 pleasure to the writer. Starting at the 

 Dunkley Floral Co. 's, I found this 

 place, as always, in fine shape. Neat- 

 ness everywhere is the aim of this firm. 

 I noticed a nice lot of mums and a 

 bench of violets which were very prom- 

 ising. Then I took a trip out to S. Bat- 

 son 's, where carnations are a specialty, 

 and Sam certainly has prospects for a 

 very prosperous season. He had his 

 whole range overhauled this summer and 

 everything is very neat. Mr. Batson 

 accompanied me over to the Central 

 Michigan Nurseries, where I was met 

 by Mr. Smith, their foreman. His car- 

 nations are very fine, also the mums and 

 roses. The stock shows the hand of a 

 skillful and successful grower. The 

 nursery business is their main hold and 

 the outlook is for a record breaking sea- 

 son. 



O. Van Bochove & Bro. have every- 

 thing in fine shape. Their carnations 

 are very fine, especially Enchantress, 

 Crane and Crocker. Their Beauties arc 

 certainly extra, also the teas, which are 

 very strong and showing a fine texture in 

 the foliage. A house of Meteors was a 

 sight, stems thirty to thirty-six inches 

 long. A lot of Nephrolepis Piersoni and 

 Adiantum Croweanum were very fine. 

 Their new foreman, W. Van Peenen. 

 takes pleasure in showing visitors around 

 this up-to-date place. The proprietors, 

 G. and J. R. Van Bochove, are well 

 pleased with the outlook for a very pros- 

 perous season. 



I visited the new firm, Qrofvert & De 

 Smith, and a neater and better laid out 

 place could hardly be found. Their 

 houses, five in number, 13x125, Dietsch 

 patent, are built in the best style, con- 

 crete foundations throughout. A fine 

 salesroom and refrigerator of ample 

 space are parts of the equipment. A 

 brick boiler house with a seventy horse- 

 power boiler and a shed 14x100 feet are 

 attached to the north wall of the green- 

 houses. This firm will make roses and 

 carnations a specialty and will go into 

 the -retail business gradually. Mr. Grof- 

 vert was employed at G. Van Bochove & 

 Bro. 's and is well known here. Mr. 

 De Smith is a contractor of this city. 

 Mr. Grofvert is a single man as yet, but 

 there are rumors of marriage in the near 

 future with a young lady who calls Mr. 

 De Smith father, Toledo. 



Benton Harbor, Mich. — The Twin 

 City Floral Co. reports its intention of 

 going out of the florists' business this 

 fall.
