NO USE FOB JOB PRINTING!

o, yea, you have. And this is why.
Neatly printed stationery gives
standing to any i-qn ,irnate business
and inspires confidence.
It informs your correspondent VIII o
you are. 1t tells him at glance what
your occupation is and you do not have
to explain it in writing.
A printed envelope insures the return
of your letter if for any reason it is un-
delivered to the person addressed.
1t is time saved, and that is money,
to make out bill on printed blank,
instead of writing it out. And it looks
more like business.
1t is cheaper than plain stationery,
fol the reason that by buying more at a
time you get wholesale rates, and for
the further reason that it Is put up in
permanent and convenient form 50
that none of it is wasted.
Try it.

THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT.

Iwish to say a few words to the
flower-ioving readers Of the Register
about our coming fair. The Horticult.
ural society have decided to have
special floral department and we hope
to make it one of the most interesting
features of the fair, but to do this we
must have the hearty cooperation Of
every lover of flowers who is interest
ed enough to wish to make 1t a success.
A nice display necessitates some pre-
paration and as it takes some time TO
prepare plants for an exhibition OF
this kind it Is none too early 70 oeeln
now. hope every one who mas mouse
plants will become interested ana de-
eide to exhibit something, As rule
quick growing plants like Geraniums,
Begonias, Coleus, Heliotropes, etc.,
will make finer plants for exhibition,
if plants that were propagated early
in the spring are selected and kept In
a vigorous growing condition. Plants
that have become roOt-bound should
be re-p,tted using pots size larger.
Soak the plant well in water then
knock it out and quietly shake as much
of the old soil out of the roots as posi-
BILE and re-pot into new soil of q loose,
friable nature and rich in plant food.
Most plants need pinching back occa.
siopally to induce a symmetrical
growth. The buds should be removed
and the plant not allowed to bloom
until two or three weeks before the ex-
hibition that there may be an abnn-
dance of flowers at that time. Five
inch pots are about the incest size for
Geraniums, Begonias and like plants;
see that the pots have good drainage;
the best material for drainage L have
ever tried is cinders from coal ashes.
Parties who do not have pots can use
tin cans and when they are nicely
painted look quite as we'll as pots and
are just as good while they last. A
good many ANIMALS and bedding
plants make nice exhibition plants.
Such plants can be taken up, potted,
and kept in cool, shaded place until
they begin growing, then plunge the
pot up to the rim in the garden where
the plants can be partially shaded
from the hot sun. The base of the pot
should rest on a bed of coal ashes and
be on a level with the top of the
ground to insure good drainage. A
week or ten days before the plant is
lifted from the open ground, take a
sharp table knife and cut down into
the soil the length of the knife blade
In a circle around the plant about
three inches in diameter or the size OF
the pot intended for its reception. The
object i'm doing this ia to cause the
plant to throw out mass of fine root
lets near lis base for feeders. Now
stimulate into an active growth by
occasionally sprinkling the plant with
weak manure water. To sum up the
requisites of success is healthy growing
plants. rich, porous soil, symmetrical
form, and plenty of buds and bloom.
Bring out your monthly roses, your
foliage plants, house and bedding
plants, and last, but not least, don't
forget a boquet of wild flowers. Let
US make the floral department of the
fair a grand success. Respectfully,
A. L. HARMON,
Sup't. Floral Dept.

Politics is a funny thing. Eleven

pion in favor of Gov. Geo. T. Anthony e

Now Geo. Us paper, the Ottawa Re.

Nothing strange about that. Did
