CHRYSANTHEMUM TINE,
No DiminutiOn of the Popularity of the
Queen of the Autumn.

Mr.. William G. Bertermann is the secre-
tary of the Society of Indiana Florists, and,
consequently, is much interested in the
great flower show of chrysanthemums
which is to be held next week at Tomlinson
Hall. In talk with Mr.. Bertermann, yes
terday, he referred to an article which ap-
peared recently in the Journal, copied from
an Eastern paper. Mr.. Bertermann said:
my attention was called to-day to an arti-
Gle in your paper, taken from a New York
paper, stating that the chrysanthemum
flowers were losing favor, and were going
out of style. Whoever the informant was
must have been duped by full-hedged rose
grower. 1t is a fact that the chrysanthe-
NUNS are crowding the roses out of the
market during chryanthemum time, and
consequently 1t hurts the large rose culti-
vators. The blooming time OF the now very
popular chrysanthemum only extending
over six weeks, we find our patrons await
ing with pleasure for their blooming The
Improvement of this wonderful flower made
IN the last few years is remarkable, and it
seems to me no one that has any respect
for nature will deny that he finds a lesson
In each flower, seeing its development from
year to year, the delicate tintS in colorS
that cannot be described, and other char
acteristics."
The flowers are very popular in the East.
'The New York Horticulture Society has
for patrons such people as the Depews.
|. New York plants are given to the children
4 at the proper season and when the annual
show is given rewards are donated by some
of the great houses, newspapers and indi-
viduals for the children. so that there is an
added interest to the flower show of chry-
SanthemumS."
"Do all florists favor the chrysanthe-
mum?'
MANY do. but the rose growers do not
for they find that the chrysanthemum,
which is really only in it's prime for about
six weeks, interferes with the sale of their
| flowers, and one rose grower said that the
West would eclipse the East in the
cultivation of this very artistic weed. For
| his part he would gently deposit all the
flowers. plants, roots and seeds in about
| three thousand fathoms of water in the mid
| die of the Atlantic with much pleasure"
THE show this year will be as fine the
others you have had, will it not?'
Much finer There are many varieties,
| and in addition to the display of the mag
nificent blooms OF the chrysanthemum
there will be carnations and roses and

1T WAS HARRISON'S PICTURE.
Insane Hospital Employees Discharged
for Not Removing 1t.

Odan Boyer, of Columbus. Ind, and an
other young man from the northern part
of the State, until recently, were employees
at the Central Hospital for the Insane.
The two were Republicans, and had in
their room the picture of ex-Presiient Har-
rison. The picture was discovered by some
one and reported to the "office," they
claim and shortly afterward the young
men were called there and asked to take
down the picture. This the young men, it
is claimed, refused to do, saying that in
the office they observed the picture OF
Cleveland and that as long rs they oCcu-
pied the room assigned to them they would
keep the picture of ex-President Harrison
in view. In a short time afterwards they
were called into the office, paid what was
due them and discharged.

that the property owners intended to pay

CLOSING OF HARRIS SCHOOL.

NAPOLEON, MO, April IL, 1893.
To the Editor of the IntclIigcnccr.
The Harris school closed, last Friday,
and although it was n little windy in the
morning the first persons made their
a ppearance on the ground at about nine
o'clock. Teacher and pupils enjoyed
several games, and ut 1890 all were called
into the school room, where, after the
usual opening exercises, all were instruct
ed to spend the remainder OF the fore
noon in games and other enjoyments.
Promptly at twelve o'clock the bell rang
again for dinner. The larger pupils and
young lady friends in the district had
prepared and very ~abundantly supplied
a table in the school room, where dinner
was enjoyed by all.
Immediately after dinner Mr.. Z. w.
Oberhelman drove up with a DAD OF trees,
which were then planted in the school
ground.
In the meantime the Eagle Cornet Band
had arrived and soon the school house
rang with music, and from hills and
forest re-echoed the beautiful harmonies,
This band was organized about five

PROTECT yOUR PEACHES

The prospect for n good peach crop is
excellent. The tree is now in bloom, the
buds are thrifty and strong, and when
this condition prevails the most serious
danger that threatens it is the hot sun
baths the young and tender fruit is
liable to receive in June.
1t frequently and too often happens that
the borer attacks the tree in early spring.
It's ravages interrupt the sap IL loving
upward to perfect the leaves. This
causes leaf blight, and leaves the fruit
without the protection of a thrifty foliage
and the result is the cooking of that side
OF the fruit exposed to the rays of the sun!
Now is the time to hunt the borer and
destroy it. Wood ashes, well slaked, put
around the trunk of the tree ut the
ground is one good remedy. Another is
to find where the borer has burrOwed,
follow up his trail with a sharp pointed
wire and impale him. There are washes
and sprays but our knowledge of them is
too limited to discuss their merits.
