OBITUARY. 



Alexander Emslie. 



Alexander Emslie is dead, after a 

 long illness with tuberculosis. Mr. Ems- 

 lie was born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, 

 in 1868, and came to this country when 

 10 years of age. He had been engaged 

 extensively in the florist business at 

 Barre, and had built up his plant from 

 a small one to many times its original 

 size. He is survived by his wife and 

 two children, two brothers, George and 

 William, in Berlin, besides his father 

 and mother in Scotland. He was a 

 prominent member of the Clan Gordon, 

 Odd Fellows and Masons.

Watch Us Grow 



ARAUCARIAS, the best decorative plants 

 Nature produces, our specialty. 



Every man In business and life, to be success- 

 ful, must adopt one thing as his specialty and 

 that specialty, of whatever nature It may be, he 

 must guard, study and push to such an extent 

 that It not only benefits himself but he must con- 

 tinue it so every one who seeks his aid, services 

 or his article, which he advertises or practices, 

 will share a slice of his activity and prosperity. 

 I made the Importation and cultivation of arau- 

 carlas a special study in my life. The figures 

 below win show my success In business from 

 the first year; by commencing with an importa- 

 tion of 260 and now, the eleventh year, my impor- 

 tation has grown up to 6,000 (come and see It), 

 the reason being that tlie araucaria grows yearly 

 more in favor with the plant consuming people all 

 over the country, as a most admired decorative 

 plant for the parlor, bed-room, dining and sitting- 

 rooms, stores and hotels, lawns and porches. 

 The outlook will be of an importation of at least 

 8,000 to 10,000 in spring of 1907. To secure this 

 vast amount for 1907, I am now on the ocean, per 

 Steamer New Amsterdam, leaving Hoboken Aug. 

 15, striking for Belgium, making contracts for 

 next year. I shall also bring over with me at the 

 same time, a large lot of choice Azalea Indlca 

 and Palms, etc., for Christmas and Easter forc- 

 ing. No money will be spared to secure for my 

 customers the cream of the Belgium greenhouses 

 only.
