LOUISVILLE, KY. 



The greenhouses established at Crescent 

 Hill under the management of Mrs. M. 

 D. Beimers have been completely reno- 

 vated and will be in splendid condition 

 for the coming season. The new houses 

 will ^'W' devoted especially to novelties 

 and choice flowering and decorative 

 plants, which are always in demand at 

 the retail store, 329 Fourth avenue, 

 established for twenty-eight years. The 

 chrysanthemum houses are in fine condi- 

 tion and the poinsettias are unusually 

 promising. A heavy importation of 

 azaleas, rhododendrons, lilacs and winter 

 plants is daily expected and many novel- 

 ties will be displayed during the coming 

 winter and spring. 



PROVIDENCE, R. L

Florist Gets Damajfes. 



At a recent meeting of the Lincoln 

 town council, William Taylor, a Cumber- 

 land florist, was allowed $64 in settle- 

 ment of a bill for services rendered by 

 him. Last June two Greeks were cele- 

 brating in that town with a revolver, 

 when the town sergeant and Mr. Taylor 

 happened to come along. As they ap- 

 proached the Greeks the pistol waa hid- 

 den, and the sergeant asked them who 

 had been flring off the weapon in the 

 street. Both denied any knowledge of 

 the matter and the sergeant, in attempt- 

 ing to search the pockets of- one of the 

 fellows, was suddenly confronted with 

 the pistol in the hands of one of them. 

 Mr. Taylor rushed to the assistance of 

 the officer, without being called upon, 

 and was shot in the abdomen in the 

 scuffle that preceded the arrest of the 

 Greeks. The bullet has not yet been ex- 

 tracted. Mr. Taylor presented a bill to 



the town council, asking $50 for loss of 

 time and $14 for medical attention. He 

 signed papers releasing the town from 

 further claim for damages. 



Various Notes. 



John F. Wood has sold his retail store 

 at 112 Westminster street to William B. 

 Hazard and has gone west. 



T. F. Keller is now located at 147 

 Mathewson street, having moved from 

 190 on the same street. 



The Florists' and Gardeners' Club of 

 Bhode Island has adjourned its regular 

 meetings until the second Monday even- 

 ing in October, unless a special one is 

 called by the president before that time. 



Andrew Pow, of "The Breakers" 

 greenhouses, at Newport, announces the 

 marriage, August 26, in Boston, of his 

 niece, Miss Lizzie Morrison, to George 

 Dye, both of Newport. W. H. M. 



CORNFLOWER. 



Will you kindly let me know the proper 

 time to sow cornflower (bachelor but- 

 ton) seed? Also the best way to grow 

 same? W. C. G. 



It is not stated whether the corn- 

 flowers are intended for outdoor or in- 

 door culture. If grown under glass, a 

 cool, airy house is essential and a night 

 temperature of 45 to 48 degrees is suffi- 

 ciently high. For an early spring crop, 

 make sowings in drills two feet apart in 

 November, after the chrysanthemums are 

 cut. The same soil wUl answer, if some 

 well rotted manure is added to it. Raised 

 benches are to be preferred to solid beds 

 for this early crop and a light house is 

 necessary. Thin out the little seedlings 

 where they come up thickly. Treat as 

 you would ten weeks' stock or antir- 

 rhinum, and you will get a nice crop 

 of flowers in early spring. 



Outdoors, the first sowing of seed 

 should be put in just as soon as frost 

 leaves the ground. If wanted through- 

 out the season, make additional sowings 

 until July 1, at intervals of three weeks. 

 Grow in nursery rows two and two and 

 one-half feet apart, or, if you want to 

 use a horse cultivator, better have the 

 rows a foot wider. Cornflowers are of 

 easy culture. Owing to their persistent 

 flowering qualities, they are a useful an- 

 nual. As a rule, the dark blue variety of 

 Centaurea Cyanus, named Emperor Wil- 

 liam, has the chief commercial value.
