Not A Customer Of Weeks.

That's not Sunfower, | want
you to understand | don't grow Sun
flowers. That's Hi-an-thus, its
more like Dahlia than Sunfiower."
Such were the words of an indignant
woman when told that she had a
splendid specimen of Double Dwarf
Sunflower, growing in her front yard.
One acquainted with this flower
( Helianthus multtifiorus plenus) will
not be surprised at the old lady's mis-
take, growing about four feet high,
covered with golden-yeElow double
flowers about the size of Dahlia it
resembles that plant very much.
This little incident shows clearly how
important it is that every one haying
a garden or even a shrub should own
and study Vick's Floral Guide pub
lished at Rochester, n y, price ten
cents, and due bill for ten cents
worth of seeds accompanies the Guide.

"A large number of high up rail
road officials anl capitalists side
tracked their special car at the
Omaha depot the fore part Of the
week and spent day looking over
the ground preparatory to opening
the spring campai 5n for extension and
improvement of their terminal facil-
tiles. OF course it is hard to pump
any information out Of these officials,
but they les drop one item of general
interest, to the effect that the Mani
toba company had the money in bank
to build its road from Hinkley TO Su-
perior with, and that the road would
be built as fast as men could do it,
work to begin just as soon as man
could work to any degree of adyan-
ta5e
Among the visitors WAS Mr.. Minot,
principal owner Of our street railway,
an President of the Superior I'm
provement Company, and one object
of his visit here was to set the wheels
of that company in motion, and, as
we get il, one Of their first acts will be
to erect Il good hotel at some point
not far from Central Park station
They could do nothing more adyan-
tageous alike for the town and them
selves. and we hope to see the hotel
built soon. The indications are that
active operations will soon begin all
along the line between the St. Louis
and Nemad;i rivers, and that we will
b. the observed of all observers dur
ing 1888.
