[Concluded from page 27.] 



formerly on the site has been demol- 

 ished and a large cellar dug. Construc- 

 tion \vorl\ will be undertaken in a short 

 time and the firm has hopes of being 

 al)le to occupy the building before Sep- 

 tenilier 1. 



Some handsome specimens of horticul- 

 tural art are to be seen in the gardens 

 of Washington's 400. Particularly well 

 worthy of mention is the garden sur- 

 rounding the home of Admiral and Mrs. 

 Dewey on K street, N. W., which is of 

 old-fashioned design. 



Otto Bauer, manager of the F street 

 store of the Washington Florists' Co., 

 is spending a week in Atlantic ('itj'. 



D. G. Grillbortzer, president of the 

 Florists' Club of Washington, has been 

 granted a license to operate his automo- 

 bile within the District of Columbia. 

 The machine is of the Everett make. 



The Republic of Argentine lias ap- 

 plied to the United States government 

 for six experts to organize the agricul- 

 tural work of that country on a larger 

 scale. The propagating garden to be 

 established in Buenos Aires will be in 

 cliarge of II. F. Schultz, formerly an 

 expert in the emidoy of the Department 

 of Agriculture. 



Z. D. Blackistone is using consider- 

 able street car advertising, with good 

 results. The placards are neat and at- 

 tractive and have pictures of various 

 flowers in addition to the ads. This 

 month he is using a card showing a box 

 of American Beauties in their natural 

 colors placed against a tinted back- 

 ground. 



Plans are being made for a large rose 

 exhibition to l)e given in the new Ma- 

 sonic hall at Brookland, D. C, by the 

 Brookland Citizens' Association. Ef- 

 forts will be made to have the local 

 florists enter exhibits. The object of 

 the association is to further instill a 

 love of flowers and to inspire the ama- 

 teur gardeners to beautify the grounds 

 surrounding their homes. Prizes will 

 be given in the various classes. A 

 musical program has been arranged for 

 each evening and no admission fee will 

 be charged. The exhibition will be held 

 May 21 and 22.
