The Busiest 

 Thing You Know 



Anywhere and everywhere dampness is likely to 

 cause RUST or DECAY. You are familiar with the 

 amount of damage done through Rust to all iron work 

 around a Greenhouse. It works all the time and works 

 harm. The boilers, piping, iron smoke stacks, steam 

 traps, pumps, engines and windwills are all easily 

 afifected. The use of Mindura kills rust and will prevent 

 further formation of rust already formed. It is the only 

 paint that really resists moisture. 



Try a gallon for $1.25. Covers 1,000 sq. ft.

cibotium to the rugged Boston, with 

 Elegantissima, Whitmani and Scottii all 

 as popular as ever. There are a few 

 good roses and carnations. Weather con- 

 ditions are favorable. If the weather 

 would remain as it is, New York would 

 be a delightful summer resort. All the 

 wholesale stores now close at 4 o'clock, 

 and will continue to do so until Septem- 

 ber. 



Tuesday, July 17, we had one of the 

 hottest days of the summer, followed by 

 a terrific storm which was heavier over 

 in Jersey than it was in the city. It is 

 feared that outdoor stock suffered se- 

 verely. 



The Dayton Trip. 



Interest in the Dayton convention is 

 growing every day, and now that this 



great annual reunion is but a few weeks 

 distant, one may safely begin to estimate 

 the attendance from the east. The 

 transpoi-tation committee of the New 

 York Florists' Club has arranged to 

 travel by the New York Central via 

 Niagara Falls, with stop-over .privileges. 

 The South-western Limited will leave the 

 Grand Central station at 2 p. m. August 

 20, and will arrive at Dayton at 8 

 o'clock Tuesday morning. A special 

 Pullman will be afforded the conven- 

 tionists, and two of them if necessary. 



It is expected that the Boston and 

 New England contingent will join the 

 train at Albany; on the Avay the Buf- 

 falonians will be "lifted," and it is 

 expected that the Clevelanders will also 

 join the procession. Doubtless, too, the 



Detroit host will by this time have ar- 

 rived by boat at Cleveland, so that a 

 multitude of several hundred should come 

 down from the north to Dayton. "We 

 count on at least fifty from New York 

 and the immediate vicinity. The fare 

 for the round trip will be $22.67 and the 

 extra charge for Pullman $4. Doubt- 

 less many will avail themselves of the 

 opportunity of a visit to the Falls, with> 

 a side trip to Toronto on the return,, 

 and altogether this promises to be one 

 of the most enjoyable excursions andT 

 conventions the society ever ha.s known... 

 Alessrs. Sheridan, Nugent and Treandly 

 compose the transportation committee of" 

 the club, and those desiring berths re- 

 served for them can notify any of these- 

 gentlemen at once, and accommodations 

 will be secured. 



Variottt Notes. 



The exodus to Europe continues. J. 

 If. Troy leaves next week for his annuall 

 business and pleasure trip, and will at- 

 tend the international conference ' on: 

 plant breeding, July 30, in London, Eng- 

 land. Mr. Ward will also leave during 

 the coming week, and Louis Schmutsr 

 sailed last Saturday for his native coun- 

 try, France, his first trip in many years. 

 On Friday Mr. Mills, of Helena, Mont., 

 sailed on the Celtic. Early next month 

 Phil Kessler, of the Coogan building, 

 will visit Germany. 



F. Lautenschlager. with Kroeschell 

 Bros., Chicago, left the city Saturday 

 by boat for Washington. 



Clarence Saltford started Saturday for 

 his annual vacation at Rhinebeck, N. Y., 



On Saturday Miss Bertha Lawson, of 

 George Saltford 's place, loft for Dutchess 

 county. 



In nearly all the retail stores, the 

 annual rejuvenation is in progress, and 

 everything is being made spick and span 

 for the coming season. Many of the 

 craft are summering at the seashore, 

 coming in daily to headcfuarters. 



Herman Warcndorff and family are 

 at Averne-by-the-Sea. ;Mr. Warendorff 

 has lately purchased a large tract of 

 land on Long Island, near Babylon, 

 which will doubtless rise greatly in value 

 luring the coming year. 



The park department in Brooklyn is 

 waging a twenty-thousand-dollar war 

 against the caterpillars, the little pests 

 giving the commissioners no end of 

 trouble. The work of extermination has 

 been going on since spring. The pests 

 number millions, and have increased with 

 alarming rapidity. The trees of the 

 park are being constantly sprayed and
