Thomas Carroll, at one time one of 

 our foremost carnation growers and who 

 turned blind, was here last week at one 

 of our local theaters, billed as the 

 "White Blind Tom," doing a musical 

 turn. 



John Bentzen, of the Bentzen Floral 

 Co., is organizing a baseball team of em- 

 ployees of the firm, and says he is ar- 

 ranging for a series of games with the 

 C. Young & Sons baseball team for the 

 summer. Other florists' firms wishing 

 to enter a team of their employees can do 

 so by applying to Mr. Bentzen. 



Fred C. Weber, Jr., is in Chicago this 

 week in the interest of the local spring 

 flower show and looking up Easter stock. 



The Schaeffer Floral Co. closed its 

 doors last week. Jule Schaeffer, it is 

 said, left for New York, to accept a 

 position there. 



William Mitthoefer, manager of C. A. 

 Kuehn's wire department, says that he 

 has been kept busy with shipping and 

 local orders of late. 



George Angermueller says that the call 

 for bulbous stock has been good of late. 

 Business in general during Lent has been 

 good. 



The bowlers had a good time Monday 

 night, March 22. Twelve members 

 bowled three games. A. Y. Ellison and 

 George Schrefer were high men, all mem- 

 bers bowling good scores.

PLUWOSUS AND SPRENGERI. 



I have a bed of i)lumosus, one-year-old 

 plants, which are running up to fair 

 strings, and I should like to know what 

 care to give it during the coming sum- 

 mer. Must it be rested, like smilax? 



I also have Sprengeri, on a raised 

 . bench, wliich is growing rampantly, giv- 

 ing sprays two to three feet long. I 

 should like to have a little for use dur- 

 ing the summer. Will it be all right to 

 keep it growing steadily throughout the 

 year? Shorter sprays would be more 



useful to me. Can it be made to grow 

 that way? And plumosus sprays, instead 

 of strings, would also suit my work bet- 

 ter. How can I get them instead of 

 strings? E. C. B. 



We keep our plumosus right on grow- 

 ing, never giving it a rest. As to get- 

 ting sprays of it, you would have to 

 pinch the shoots until they are weak- 

 ened enough to run into sprays. 



Sprengeri, also, is kept right on grow- 

 ing. We always make it a practice to 

 grow the sprays as long as possible, but 

 would suggest that you keep the plants 

 on the dry side if you wish to shorten 

 them. Albert F. Amling.
