 the Jabez Elliott Flower Market, Mon-

 mously accepted Frank Voltz's invita- 

 tionl to hold the next meeting at his 

 homo on Dina avenue, Cheviot. 



A visit to Max Rudolph's green- 

 liouse plant at College Hill showed 

 everything there to be spick and span. 

 The roses, mostly Brides, Maids and 

 Killarney, show a good, healthy growth 

 and fairly good blooms are being cut.

 last week. 



Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bruggemann spent

 managed to catch nearly fish enough 

 every day for dinner.

THE HOUSE OF MICHELL. 



The group of portraits on this page 

 is the first ever published showing the 

 members of the seed house of Michell. 

 The pictures include the founder, to 

 whose untiring energy and ability the 

 house owes its present strength; his 

 brother, whose fortunes have been 

 linked with the house almost from the 

 first and who has contributed so much 

 to the success; the hope of the house, 

 whose business career has commenced 

 so auspiciously. 



There are only five faces in the 

 picture, but as each one of us gazes at 

 it many more rise before the mental 

 view — some dark, some fair, some 

 young, some older — all have helped to 

 make the house of Michell what it is 

 today. Phil.
