PULVERIZED 



SHEEP MANURE 



There Is a reason why Wizard Brand Sheep Manure Is more exten- 

 sively used by Florlste than any other:— Best for Carnations and Chrys- 

 anthemums— Best for making bench soil— liquid manuring— and field 

 work. Ask for our Growers' Booklet and know why Wizard Brand leads.

Florists' Outing. 



The annual florists ' barbecue was held 

 at East Lake park, September 10, under 

 the auspices of the Birmingham Horti- 

 cultural Society, which has just been 

 reorganized. A number of pastimes 

 were indulged in and an enjoyable day 

 was spent. Those attending were among 

 the prominent florists in the Birming- 

 ham district. Howard Bros., of Thorsby 

 and Charles Skews, of Bessemer, were 

 guests of the local society. 



John L. Parker acted as toastmaster. 

 In a pleasant and appropriate address he 

 expressed the kindly feelings of those 

 present. G. B. McVay made an address 

 full of enthusiasm. Hugh Seales, in his 

 usual happy manner, made a long talk, 

 impressing the ladies present with the 

 fact that all florists are creatures of 

 God. Short talks were made by George 

 Luflfman, James Williamson and John A. 

 Lambert. 



The youngest florist present was the 

 15-month-old baby of Theo. Smith. 



All the florists and their families 

 made merry and extended their hands 

 across the festive board in a body, with 

 the one happy thought in heart and 

 mind, "Unity." After the spread a 

 sad and impressive ceremony was per- 

 formed. The men, with bared heads, 

 and the ladies, with bowed heads, bore 

 the remains of the "Knocker" to the 

 long resting place. With solemn cere- 

 mony, all that was mortal of the 

 Knocker was buried beneath the sod, 

 while the band played a heart-breaking 

 dirge. 



Various Notes. 



C. H. Wood and Mr. Kessler have 

 reorganized the Birmingham Landscape 

 & Nursery Co., with an increased capital 

 and new members. They have pur- 

 chased a large tract of land fronting 

 upon the railroad just sixteen miles 

 from the city, with every facility for an 

 up-to-date nursery business. They will 

 continue the same old stand in the city. 

 Mr. Kessler was formerly with P. J. 

 Berckmans, of Augusta, Ga. 



The florists of Birmingham regret 

 having to give up Andrew Hauge, who 

 will leave shortly for Pensacola, Fla., 

 where he will embark in business for 

 himself. He has made extensive plans 

 for a modern business in the pretty 

 little city by the sea. 



John A. Lambert will open, October 1, 

 a new flower store in connection with 

 the McVay Seed Store, with all the 

 modern requisites. Mr. Lambert also has 

 purchased an interest in the J^<?yay 

 Seed Co. and was elected a direBlBfein 

 the company. The McVay Seed Co. 

 is headed by J. B. Dolson, president, 

 with G. B. McVay as manager. Mr. 

 McVay was for twenty-one years man- 

 ager of the Amzi Godden Seed Co., in 

 this city. L.
