the wholesalers and retailers material- 

 izes slowly. Perhaps July 1 may see a 

 general progress in this direction. It is 

 time and if the majority will have the 

 courage of its opinions the recalcitrants 

 will soon follow. 



Nearly everybody is going to the out- 

 ing Monday. Those who fail, young or 

 old, will miss "the time of their lives." 

 The program of sports is large and the 

 prizes are liberal. All the children are 

 to be especially remembered. The ladies' 

 bowling experts, fifteen of them, will win 

 mementoes worth preserving. Some $250 

 altogether will be distributed during 

 the afternoon. Tugs of war, baseball 

 games and every kind of race will be 

 pulled off. Music and dancing, swimming 

 and a big dinner with a delightful sail 

 up the sound leave nothing, to be desired. 

 Be at the boat, foot of East Thirty-first 

 street, before 10 o'clock Monday morn- 

 ing. Don't miss it. 



Among the travelers to the old country 

 last week and this were Mr. Mellstrom, 

 of Sander & Sons, and J. H. Taylor and 

 Mrs. Taylor, of Bayside, L. I. 



Committeeman John B. Nugent reports 

 no decision as to the route for the Day- 

 ton special. The interest in the S. A. 

 F. convention is growing daily, and there 

 is no doubt a carload will maintain the 

 reputation of New York. The bowling 

 representation is still an enigma. Never 

 was so little interest taken in the sport 

 as this season. J. Austin Shaw. 



DAVENPORT, lA. 



The members of the Tri-City Florists' 

 Association were entertained June 14, 

 afternoon and evening, by Adolph Arp 

 and H. G. Bryant, the new proprietors 

 of the Davenport Nursery. The florists 

 spent several hours going over the 100 

 acres of land occupied by the establish- 

 ment and were greatly surprised at its 

 magnitude. Supper was served at Mr. 

 Bryant's home and in the evening a 

 regular meeting was held. A greater 

 portion of the time was taken up by 

 the members in telling of the sunny sides 

 of their business. Sam Horton and sev- 

 eral others entertained the members by 

 relating humorous incidents they had en- 

 countered during their experience and 

 the evening was very much enjoyed. 

 Further plans for the picnic which the 

 association will hold at the "Watch Tower 

 June 28 were also made. 



Stevens Point, Wis. — W. E. Macklin 

 has announced that his greenhouse will 

 be closed on Sunday afternoons during 

 the summer months, and only funeral 

 orders will be filled. 



NORTHERN TEXAS. 



Weather conditions are much better 

 than earlier in the season. The ele- 

 ments seem to be getting down to their 

 regular habits. Carnations in the field 

 are in fine condition, and young roses are 

 coming along nicely. Sweet peas are 

 nearly all in, while asters are just com- 

 ing in. Vincas, the staple crop here for 

 funeral work, are commencing to 

 bloom, as are also tuberoses and gladi- 

 oli. Sufficient rain has fallen to keep 

 things growing nicely. 



Mr. Goree, of Whitewright, is busily 

 engaged in harvesting his immense berry 

 crop, and reports things in his town as 

 very satisfactory. Mr. Goree is arrang- 



ing matters with the view of increasing 

 his glass, intending to grow more ex- 

 tensively. A visit to his place is a great 

 pleasure. 



The Byrne Floral Co. is a new firm, 

 organized at Sherman May 21. They 

 will engage in the growing of general 

 greenhouse stock for retail trade^ and in 

 landscape work. The officers of the new 

 firm are: F. A. Byrne, president and 

 manager; F. R. Grant, treasurer. Con- 

 tracts have been let for three houses 

 22x100, and this equipment will be in- 

 creased to three times as many next 

 spring. The office building is already 

 nearly completed and the firm is only 

 waiting for the greenhouse material to 

 arrive before commencing work in 

 earnest. Narcissus. 



NOT NEMATODES. 



The center beds in my greenhouses are 

 solid, about four feet in depth. Nema- 

 todes have taken possession of them and 

 up to this time defy all attempts to dis- 

 lodge them. I have sterilized them to 

 no effect. As a last resort I took out 

 the dirt to a depth of twenty-four 

 inches and covered the old 8,oil with sev- 

 eral thicknesses of newspaper. In two 

 months' time the worms appeared on the 

 surface of the new soil. What can I 

 put on the old soil remaining in the 

 beds after two feet of soil has been re- 

 moved to kill the worms? W. F. P. 



I am afraid you are a little mixed on 

 the nematode question. The nematode 

 is a very minute insect which can only 

 be seen under a powerful microscope. 

 They attack the roots of plants, causing
