the hardiest subjects will burn. Wiiere 

 tiiese blisters occur, it used to be a 

 practice to trace them, and by dabbing 

 soft putty on the under side of the 

 glass, the grease left would be suflBcient 

 to prevent burning for the rest of the 

 season. I have seen many valuable palms 

 spoiled through these burns from blis- 

 ters in the glass. After the first sign 

 of a spot on the leaves, I have found it 

 easy to trace t^e blister by following up 

 the bright spot which will show on the 

 liand or a piece of dark paper. 



The best cheap shading, says a writer 

 in the Horticultural Advertiser, is made 

 of whiting and starch, in the proportion 

 of about three pounds of whiting to one 

 of starch. The whiting should be thor- 

 oughly dried, and all lumps broken, the 

 starch then being thoroughly mixed, and 

 then made into a thick paste by adding 

 water. After the paste is thoroughly 

 l)eaten up, add boiling water, stir well, 

 :ind after it is thoroughly mixed it may 

 'le boiled up again. Applied with a 

 brush, this will make an effective shad- 

 "ig without obstructing the light, and 

 will generally last well through the sea- 

 son.

The Florists' Manual 



We note your advertisement in a recent number of the REVIEW of the 

 second edition of Scott's Florists' Manual, and request that you enter our order 

 for a copy of this valuable book. The writer is thoroughly acquainted with 

 the first edition of this work, having often had occasion to use it for reference 

 while a student at the Michigan Agricultural College. Please rush this order, 

 for we feel, with Mark Twain, that we "would rather not use violence."

RAMBLING NOTES. 



Our old-time friend, William Scott, 

 of Buffalo, does not improve so rapidly 

 as his host of friends would like to see. 

 He spends his time between home and 

 Corfu, where his son David keeps him 

 bright. At the home place William, Jr., 

 bids fair to keep up the name. 



H. Keitsch & Son Co., of Buffalo, re- 

 ix)rts increasing business. The best ad- 

 vertising ever done was when the store 

 was built over. Now it is their inten- 

 tion to rebuild a number of houses, in 

 readiness for fall use. William Milley 

 raises whole houses of fuchsias for Pol- 

 ish customers, who buy large numbers 

 of this old favorite. John Spiess, Jr., 

 will, on July 1, hand over his business 

 to his son Edward, who promises to be 

 as successful as pater ever was, and he 

 is on Easy street. Kumpf Bros., just 

 across the way, are thinking of enlarg- 

 ing their plant, as they are crowded for 

 room. 



John Weiss, of Middle Village, N. Y., 

 is the czar of the Washington market 

 and has some of the best buyers in town 

 as patrons. He is one of the earliest
