and for vegetables. The superintendent, 

 however, found a different use for them. 

 He immediately distributed them to the 

 pupils of the botany classes. Not a bad 

 idea, but had a forecast of it come to 

 the attention of the committee getting 

 up the schedule, a few features pecu- 

 liarly interesting to botany students 

 would no doubt have been added. 



Various Notes. 



Many principals or representatives of 

 the florist firms doing a summer business 

 on the avenue were here recently, making 

 final preparations for resuming business 

 for the season, among them Mr. Spaulding, 

 of the J. M. Hodgson Co. Richard Mer- 

 rit is no longer connected in a business 

 way with that corporation, although the 

 family relations existing between him 

 and the other members of the firm will 

 doubtless serve to continue a measure of 

 mutual interest. 



Thore is some curiosity, if not a little 

 anxiety, aroused by the introduction into 

 the city council of a measure having for 

 its object the taxing of concerns that do 

 business here for the summer and remove 

 to New York and other cities in the 

 winter. Although there are engaged in 

 this practice firms doing business of vari- 

 ous kinds, still florists are numerous and 

 out of proportion to other lines. Opinion 

 is somewhat divided as to the feasibility 

 of the proposed ordinance, not to men- 

 tion the more vital point of the general 

 good, that would result from its* passage. 



There is in Newport a great demand 

 yearly for plants of large size for the 

 interior decoration of dwellings, more 

 especially .palmti Heretofore there 

 seemed to be but little difficulty experi- 

 enced by dealers in procuring the re- 

 quired number, but during the last one 

 or two seasons the constant call for them 

 here, augmented by a presumable de- 

 mand in other places, has caused a no- 

 ticeable scarcity. In years gone by, are- 

 cas were used considerably for the pur- 

 poses mentioned, but their somewhat 

 tender character caused them to be all 

 but discarded in favor of kentias, which 

 are in almost every way superior except- 

 ing of course in point of gracefulness, 

 but that is lost sight of when in a short 

 time they show signs of not being 

 adapted to the conditions of their sur- 

 roundings. There is a great demand from 

 city concerns for large plants of aspi-
