of information as to the business in a 

 form he will remember: 



Last year we organized the JoUet Nurseries, 

 bought the belongings of the Shepherd Floral 

 Co., and on the Iteed fiii'ui, where Midland 

 avenue intersects the Troy road, we have ob- 

 tained a good start In our line. The stock- 

 holders aic Colonel Ucindtt, treasurer of the 

 company; (jeorge Harr. J. II. Ferrlss, presi- 

 dents; t'. T. Shepherd, tiv., manager, and C. T. 

 Shepherd, Jr., secretary. 



'the Shepherds arc e.vpcilenccil growers and 

 landscape gardeners; it has been their lifedong 

 business. We have two greenhouses for propa- 

 gating purposes, and this spring we aic In the 

 market with just about anything and everything 

 that will be needed tor ornauicniiil trees, shrub- 

 bery, vines and perennials. 



As will be noticed by the names, the pro- 

 prietors arc largely Inlercslcd in a beautiful 

 jollet, and will do their best to make the town 

 handsome and tasty, and do the most |)ossil)le 

 to make Jollet buyers happy. 



The catalogue is now in the hands of the 

 printer, and within a few days It will be ready 

 for distribution. In the meantime. If anything 

 Is desired In our line, use the telephone, both 

 lines. All the busliu-ss will be transiicled at 

 the nurseries, as Mr. Keiriss is so busy running 

 for president of the I'nll4'(l Slates, he cannot do 

 much more than to merely look at things and 

 smile when he is pleased. Itolli .Mr. Harr and 

 Colonel Bennllt are busy with their other lines 

 of business, for, remendier, these are bankers 

 and lawyers. 



We shall make a specialty of perennliils, 

 l)e<-ause these leipiirc the least trouble, and 

 make the longest and liest show vf lil<M)m. Our 

 liind is just about the lluest in the I'nited 

 .states, we have plenty of It, and the jilants 

 will be In good order -thrifty ;iiul hearty. 



Should you need advice lu planting, or need 

 a plan, or souiebody to cairy it out. call n.-< up 

 by telei)hone. Wc take Jobs of tixing up by the 

 (lay. Job, or year, any old iilan to make the 

 wheels go rouud. 



PLANTS FOR CARPET BEDDING. 



This spring wo wish to Hiake on a 

 small plot of ground tlie letters 1). A. E., 

 of bedding plants, and would value any 

 information concerning what plants would 

 be best suited for the purpose, and also 

 as to the care of same after planting, 

 so the plants will not grow too tall and 

 thus make the letters confusing. We 

 would like to obtain the shades, as near 

 as possible, of red, white and blue, as 

 are seen in the flag. The letters are to 

 be from eighteen inches to twenty-four 

 inches high, the D red, A white, and 

 R blue. Of whatever plants are suitable, 

 would it be seasonable, so to speak, to 

 purchase now rooted cuttings or plants 

 more advanced? We would plant the 

 first part of June. Would you kindly 

 tell us the best plan? A. E. R. 



]f blue lobelia will succeed well with 

 you, it would be the finest blue plant for 

 making lettering. The variety Emperor 

 William is an especially good one. Plants 

 raised from cuttings are preferable, as 

 seedlings are usually sprawly in habit. 

 Occasionally, in hot, moist weather, when 

 there is little sunshino, these lobelias will 

 rot to some extent. This is their only 

 drawback. T.ittle lilue Star ageratum, 

 of a mauve color, grows only four inches 

 high and, being a jxTsistciit hloomer, 

 is well adapted for lettering. 



One of the alternautheras. such as 

 paronvchioides magnifica, or A. versicolor, 

 would be suitable for red lettering. 

 These will require some cliitping or top- 

 l)ing to keep them in shajie. If flow- 

 ering plants are preferred, you can use 

 dwarf Vernon begonias. These attain 

 a height of si.\ to eight inches and can 

 be depended upon to flower all summer.
