 ciiine from the business is .+ (,tiil() a 

 nioiith, and that lie has a large interest 

 ill an estate worth .$-100,1 li)( I. The fain 

 ily is prominent socially, as vv(dl as in

 make nuudi capital of their troubles. 



MEDALS BETTER THAN CASH. 



-Nine times nut of ten a flower show 

 e.\hibitor would rather have ji medal 

 than the cash and those who ofTer 

 jiremiums for advertising purposes have 

 found that medals or cups, which can be 

 projierly iiiscrib(d. serve a real tidvcrtis 

 ing purpose, while a contribution of cash 

 is little more than of financial assistance 

 to Ihe nuinayement. The trophies give 

 at the same time at least equal lielp 

 financially, for a cup will do for a prize 

 in a class wheie the cash that bought it 

 might be inaile(|u;ite. 



In ]!ti)7 the Lord & P.urnham Co. of- 

 fered a g(dd medal, shown in the ac- 

 companying illustration, to the Lenox 

 Horticultural Society. It has an in- 

 trinsic value of about .$30 and was so 

 w(dl liked that it was offered to a num- 

 ber of societii's this year, and was award- 

 ed as follows:
