 Lakewood Cemetery greenhouses, exhibit- 

 ed some Mission flower vases and fern 

 dishes which were much admired and 

 received honorable mention by the judges. 



President Wirth, on behalf of the mem- 

 bers of the association, then presented 

 S. D. Dysinger, the retiring secretary, 

 with a beautiful gold watch and chain in 

 appreciation of his services. Mr. Dysin- 

 ger was completely surprised, but man- 

 aged to stammer a few thanks. 



A. S. Swanson read a paper on "The 

 Employer's View of the Employee" and 

 A. J. Smith read a paper on "The Eela- 

 tions of the Employee to the Employer. ' ' 

 These created quite a little discussion, 

 participated in by several of the mem- 

 bers. 



Prof. L. B, Cody and S. D. Dysinger 

 were appointed speakers for the next 

 meeting, to be held November 16,

Faeqo, N, D.— The Shotwell Floral 

 Co. has completed the heating equipment 

 of the new greenhouses, at the terminal 

 of Eighth street south, by installing a 

 good sized boiler. 



EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE.

and develop them. A cripple or weak- 

 minded person I do not consider stands 

 much of a chance with us, though I be- 

 lieve that parents, when they have boys 

 of whom they despair ever to make any- 

 thing, often send them to a gardener to 

 bring up, and I know of some instances 

 where they succeeded. I believe there is 

 as much intelligence and good judgment 

 required in this business as anywhere 

 else, though there are other trades where 

 perhaps the physical labor may be con- 

 sidered harder and more severe. 



The greenhouse is by no means a play- 

 ground; the work is not what many 

 would call light or easy, and the condi- 

 tions under which it is performed are 

 not always the most pleasant, though it 

 seems pleasant to many who are not 

 familiar with it. I have all sorts of peo- 

 ple tell me how they would love to have a 

 chance at it. You often hear some 

 sentimental old maid exclaim, "What 

 charming and pleasant business this must 

 be, to grow flowers! " And they actually 

 try to make you believe they regret they 

 are not engaged in competition with you ; 



but don't let them fool you; they know 

 oothing about it. 



Though I do not wish it to be under- 

 stood that I include all our help, by any 

 means, as considering greenhouse work a 

 drudgery, it is nevertheless a fact th:it 

 the average help does so consider it. And 

 the thought has often struck me that a 

 large percentage of our help seem to ''P 

 constantly trying to invent some ne v 

 method of killing time, without accOH - 

 plishing anything useful. Another lar; 

 percentage seem to think only of ho.v 

 much space they can cover in a givns 

 time with a hose, or any implement, f' r 

 that matter, regardless of how it is doni ; 

 they seem to be anxious to show result-, 

 but the results are generally on thewroi -' 

 side of the ledger. 



A Small Bump of Reverence. 



Another great fault I have foun ' 

 among the average greenhouse men, espi' 

 cially the younger ones, is the small bump 

 of reA'erence or regard they have for 

 things or persons. For this fault I In;*' 

 the blame unon the period of time i'' 

 which we live, more so than the indi
