The Florists' exchange : a weekly medium of interchange for florists, nurserymen, seedsmen and the trade in general. could well be spared andprofitably employed in storing up good-ly quantities of such materials thatmust be regarded as of first and fore-most importance in all gardening pur-suits. Most growers and greenhouseestablishments experience little troublein procuring all they need in this lineat any time, and at a reasonable pricetoo, but there is quite a number lessfavorably placed. Good, richly-fibered sods from fer-tile fields or pastures, leaf-mold inproper condition, even a fair grade ofloam or common black earth have, inmany localities, become scarce andhigh-priced commodities, must be haul-ed long distances and, in many in-stances, can only then be had by in-ducing teamsters and laborers to foregohigh wages for still higher ones. Flo-rists so situated, therefore, wiselyseize upon every opportunity that of-fers to lay in a good supply of any-thing that by composting and properpreparation might be worked into goodbench or potting soil. Thus sods forflorists use are dug and hauled at any. Carnation House of J. J. Hellenthal, Columbus, O.
