his sister 's wedding when in Europe. Tb6^ 

 sympathy of the trade is extended Mr. 

 Schloss and his brother in the loss of 

 their father last week, at the age of 85. 



One of the largest of the June wed- 

 dings will be the Eoosevelt celebration, 

 when Teddy, Jr., will become a benedict. 

 Wadley & Smythe have the order and 

 have been instructed to make the decora- r 

 tion the finest ever seen in this^ity. 



B. Eosens and his family /have, ar- 

 ranged to remove to their summer^hc^e 

 at Averne-by-the-Sea about the end of 

 May. 



J. J. Coan, manager of the Growers' 

 Cut Flower Co., has moved into his new 

 store at 41 West Twenty-eighth street, 

 which, while more roomy than the old one, 

 is much too small for the volume of 

 business. 



A fire which burned to death four fine 

 horses belonging to David Clarke's Sons, 

 at their stables in the Bronx, fortunately 

 was extinguished before the flames reached 

 the barn and greenhouses. It was a nar- 

 row escape from destruction of all the 

 horses, wagons and other property. The 

 loss will total above $1,000. 



S. Masur, of Brooklyn, reports a suc- 

 cessful season with weddings, funerals 

 and gardening work, far beyond his 

 other years. A larger store is in contem- 

 plation and has become a necessity. 



William Shanley, the florist who was 

 reported kidnapped, missing and a mys- 

 tery to his Brooklyn friends, last week 

 wbs heard from by wire from San Fran- 

 cisco with a request for funds, but no 

 particulars as to the cause of his dis- 

 appearance. 



Charles A. Dards, at Madison avenue 

 and Seventy-second street, has been busy 

 with weddings since Easter. Eight large 

 ones last week were a part of his book- 

 ings and many are listed for June. 



The popular ferns, Boston and Scottii, 

 have numerous progeny. The new child- 

 ren last year were Giatrasii and Kess- 

 lerii, and now comes the youngest one, 

 Wagnerii, from Flatbush. There must be 

 several new ones by this time, too, at 

 Tarrytown. It will be at this rate "t^ie 

 survival of the fittest," though they a: 

 all good ones and worthy of long life.

 State College of Agriculture at Cornell 

 University, will give an address Monday

 Phases of Experimental Work in Belation

DES MOINES, IK 



Fire on Thursday afternoon, April 28, 

 /destroyed all of the j||feing sheds, the 

 boiler-room and the ^Hne at the estab- 

 lishment of the J. S. Wilson Floral Cos 

 These buildings were situated at the east 

 end of the greenhouses. The total-Joss 

 in buildings, wagons, tools, etc., v was 

 $2,000; insurance, $1,000. Fortunately, 

 the wind was from the southwest; other- 

 wise the whole plant would have been 

 ruined. As it was, only about ten leet 

 of the ends of the houses adjoining the 

 sheds was damaged, and the plants for a 

 distance of about fifteen feet back. The 

 fire started from some unknown cause, 

 but it is thought that a teamster who 

 was hauling soil, and< dumping it near 

 the stable, went into the stable to light 

 his pipe and threw the lighted match 

 down in the straw, for the fire was dis- 

 covered three minutes after the team- 

 ster had left. The boilers are not dam- 

 ,aged in any way, but many of the steam 

 pipes are twisted out ^f shape. Re- 

 building will be started at once on the 

 sheds. The stable will be built at some 

 distance from the rest of the buildings.

 mer extent and installed a new boiler.

SPOTTED FOLIAGE. 



What is the matter with the plants I 

 am sending youf The spotted foliage has 

 appeared on every plant in the green- 

 house in the last four days and the 

 trouble is spreading rapidly. H. L. S. 



The leaves enclosed appeared to have 

 been sun-scalded. Following a spell of 

 cool, cloudy weather, a few warm days 

 will develop considerable trouble of this 

 kind. Defective glass is also responsible 

 for considerable burning. Pick off the 

 worst affected leaves. Take note where 

 the scalding is worst and, to counteract 

 it, give the glass a light shading. Seep 

 the foliage dry. Do any watering in the 

 morning, rather than in the evening. 

 Ventilate freely and do not close up the 

 house tightly at night. Your plants •will 

 probably grow out of this trouble.
