. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. i25o The American Florist. July (5, Cincinnati. As July 4th approaches business seems to be coming nearer to a standstill, but our florists are all looking forward to better times in the future. The nerviest one we have is Ben George, who was married on the 21st inst. Recently he formed a partnership with Geo. Magrie, under the firm name of Magrie & George. Their greenhouses are situated at Col- lege Hill, Ohio. They expect to grow only for the cut flower trade.

This we shall be pleased to do, as we enjoy good company. E. G. GiLLETT. Base Ball. The Pitcher & Manda Ball Club, of Short Hills, , crossed bats with the John Lewis Childs Club at Floral Park, N.
