 of his Vinca minor aurea.

 ing plants, and Max Kruschka, the As- 

 bury Park florist, had some excellent 

 exhibits.

 had a handsome grotto with pool and 

 waterfalls as a setting for their dis- 

 play of aquatics.

 sweet peas, prizes of $200, $100 and $50 

 being offered for collection of thirty 

 varieties of twenty-five sprays each,

 only. This was the class in which

 of sickness in the family.

 sembly room of the Y. M. C. A. All 

 available space was occupied and it is 

 expected that a larger hall will be 

 needed next year. Henry Youell, who 

 had charge of the placing of the ex- 

 hibits, was highly complimented by Mr.

 rangements. In the class for profes- 

 sional growers the first prize was won

Marine City, Mich. — J. J. Houghton, 

 formerly connected with the green- 

 houses of the Marine City Floral Co., 

 suffered a stroke of apoplexy about two 

 years ago and was obliged to retire

 been able to return to work. During

 to bed and he sadly reports that his 

 "working days are done."

 The office will stand at the corner of 

 the two streets, will cover a space 

 26x36 feet and will be built of concrete 

 blocks. Concrete will also be used for 

 the greenhouse foundations and 

 benches. Mr. Ball came here about 

 three years ago, took charge of some 

 old, neglected greenhouses, where busi- 

 ness had been suspended for several 

 years, and soon established a good 

 trade.

 Marion. A new eighty horse-power 

 boiler has been installed and the green- 

 houses have been extended east to 

 Meridian street. Mr. Smith purchased 

 the business of the Marion Floral Oo.

 time he has found it necessary to en-

 tion of the plants about September 1. 



Marietta, O.— The Marietta Floral 

 Co. has removed to a store at 290 Front

 stores in the city. 



Paxton, HI. — Addems, Morgan & Co.

 Bros. Co. has begun work on a new

 the residence of August Mangelsdorf. 

 The new range will comprise four 

 houses, three of them 26x175 feet each, 

 and the other 26x75. The foundations 

 and the walks will be of concrete. The 

 old houses will be torn down, but none 

 of the old material will be used in re- 

 building. The new houses will be in 

 charge of Ernest Mangelsdorf ,. one of 

 the sons of August Mangelsdorf. A few 

 vegetables will be grown, but most of 

 the space wiU be used for flowers. 



Bar Harbor, Me. — A. E. Thatcher 

 has succeeded William Miller as man- 

 ager of the Mount Desert Nurseries. 

 Mr. Thatcher has had special training 

 in practical horticulture, both in this 

 country and on some of the great Eng- 

 lish estates, and for the last three years 

 has been connected with the Arnold 

 Arboretum. George B. Dorr, proprietor 

 of the nurseries, has announced that 

 hereafter the plants and flowers will be 

 sold at the Nurseries Gardens, on Lower 

 Main street, instead of in a village 

 store. A new entrance to the Nursery 

 Gardens, opposite the junction of the 

 Otter Creek and Schooner Head roads, 

 has been opened for this purpose.
