ERIE. PA. 



Trade keeps up well, though the main 

 rush has subsided. There have been sev- 

 eral large funerals this week and choice 

 flowers were in demand. Cattleyas, val- 

 ley, Beauties and forget-me-nots were 

 used in pretty combinations. 



The board of education gave a 

 quet at the Country Club June 14. 

 large table was square, with a square 

 opening in the center. This opening was 

 filled in with palms, etc. The table was 



ban- 

 The 



edged with Asparagus plumosus, with 

 here and there a cluster of white carna- 

 tions. The color scheme was green and 

 white. The decoration was furnished by 

 the Baur Floral Co. 



Miss M. Garlow, of Cincinnati, 0., was 

 in the city on business June 12. 



Eoman Olsowski has purchased the 

 greenhouses on East Eighteenth street, 

 formerly owned by John Stelle, a market 

 gardener. Mr. Olsowski is changing 

 from vegetables to flowers. 



Charles Schiff, salesman for the Baur 

 Floral Co., is spending his vacation with 

 relatives in Buffalo. B. P. 



APHIS ON CINERARIAS. 



Can you tell me a good remedy for 

 cineraria lice? They make me lots of 

 trouble. O. L. H. 



What you refer to is probably green 

 aphis, which has a marked partiality for 

 cinerarias. To keep your plants clean 

 you must fumigate them, on an average, 



once a week while in the greenhouses, 

 otherwise the aphis will simply ruin them. 

 During the late summer and fall months, 

 while your plants are, or should be, in 

 cold frames, if you lay fresh tobacco 

 stems among them once a fortnight, it 

 will keep them clean, but in the green- 

 houses fumigation in some form is neces- 

 sary. C. W. 



FEVERFEW FOR MEMORIAL DAY 



Will you tell us when to plant double 

 feverfew for Memorial day in Maine? 



W. G. M. & S. 



A suitable time to plant double fever- 

 fews in the benches is from the begin- 

 ning of February until the middle of 

 March. In your latitude it would be bet- 

 ter to get the planting done not later 

 than the end of February. C. W. 



Braceville, III.— William Moran, of 

 Braidwood, has opened a flower store in
