A Cheerful Thought 



Cheer up, there is ftill time enough to build that bouse of yours, and get 

 your crop in "in jig time." Place your order with us right now and Ftart at 

 once doing your grading and digging of holes for the concrete post footings. 



benches can be ffotten under way. While we 

 an- erecthigthe frame work, glazinjfor paint- 

 ing, your men can be filling and planting the 

 lynches. Your tile or concrete sides to the 

 house can be left till later, when other things 

 are not so urgent. Sounds good, doesn t it? 

 Write or come and see us, and we will prove 

 its absolute practicalness. But get started— 

 that's the important thing. 



While you are doing this, our big factory, 

 with its modern methods and up-to-date 

 equipment, will be turning out your mater- 

 ials, and when you are ready for them they 

 will be ready for you. With the materials we 

 will send along a swarm of men and that 

 house will go up like magic. 



The heating can be started before the 

 frame work, and as soon as it is ready the

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. 



Edwin Howes recently arrived in this 

 city from England. Mr. Howes is an 

 expert rose grower, having received his 

 early training with such firms as Beck- 

 with & Son and Lowe & Sawyer. For 

 seven years he was propagator and 

 grower for Frank Cant & Co., of Col- 

 chester, during which time a great 

 many new roses were introduced, in- 

 cluding Lady Roberts, the only rose to 

 receive two gold medals in a single 

 year in Great Britain, that of the Royal 

 Horticultural Society and the National 

 Rose Society. The last live years were 

 spent as foreman and grower for 

 George Prince, of Oxford, during which 

 time the success of the firm at the ex- 

 hibitions was phenomenal; for two 

 years in succession, 1910 and 1911, all 

 the first prizes in the principal classes 

 for tea roses were carried off. The D. 

 Ombrain challenge trophy was won five 

 times, also the China trophy two years 

 at the National Rose Society's shows. 

 Mr. Howes acted as judge at many of 

 the principal rose shows throughout 

 England. 



The good wishes of his former em- 

 jdoyers and many tokens of their esteem 

 accompany him to his new home in this 

 American city. For the present he has 

 accepted a position at Wandamere 

 Park. W. H. 



ALVIN, TEX. 



In speaking of the cape jasmine crop, 

 Ilillje & Buller, who are no longer in 

 the jasmine business but who are in a 

 jiosition to know all about it, say: 

 "The crop around Alvin seems to be 

 l)roniising, although it may be some- 

 what late." 



Quite to the opposite effect is the re- 

 l)ort from E. J. Sheffield, who says: 

 "Owing to an unusually cold winter, 

 the jasmine crop this year will not 

 only be late, but the supply will be de- 

 cidedly limited. There will be hardly 

 anything for Decoration day. I will, I 

 think, begin shipping about May 20. 

 My supply will be so small that I will 

 be unable to take care of what business 

 I now have in sight."
