THE WEBER PLANTATION.
A Correspondent of the "Florists' Ex-
change" Describes This Interest
ing Place


ing Place.
I Recently a number of florists resid-
| ing in Baltimore visited the Weber
/ gardeno adjoining Oakland. One of
the number in the current issue of
| the Florists Erchdnge describes the
visit and impressions made as fol-
/ lows:
"a number of the Baltimore craft
visited Messrs. H. Weber & Sons at
4 Oakland, Md, last Sunday. When we
/ left Baltimore Saturday night the
weather was clear and fine; when we
arrived earlv the next morning at
/ Oakland it was showing hard: this,
however, did not mar the pleasure of
/ the trip. We were met at the depot
( and taken to the hotel for breakfast,
/ after which we took delightful sleigh
I ride of about a mile to the objective
point. Messrs. VIM. and John Weber
took us through and explained all
points OF interest, of which there were
many. On leaving the office the door
OF a house 35x240 feet was opened, and
we found ourselves in this large house
filled entirely with the great My Mary
land carnation. Many blooms were
standing there on large, long. stiff
stems, and not bursted calyx to be
seen. They have some 10000 cuttings
of this variety now in the sand, and
are still putting in more. 1t was or
iginal!y intended to send it out this
year, but the firm has since decided
not to disseminate it until 1906.
The firm has more than 100000
square feet of glass in all, mostly de-
voted to carnations; several houses
were filled with seedlings only, many
of which will doubtless find their way
to the market in the near future and
prove valuable additions to the car
nation family.
There are SIX boys in the family,
all actively engaged in the business,
each carefully and energetically look
ing after their respective duties Two
of the sons, Henry and William, are
married and have their residences on
the estate (Which is more than 500
acres. All the hay, grain, ect., rails
ed on the place is consumed by the
fifty head OF horses and cattle, giving
all the manure needed. Mr.. Weber
Informed US that during the coming
summer they will rebuild one block
of about an acre and erect an addi
tional new block for ohrysanthe-
NUNS.
There are two water systems
throughout the houses, one for LIQUID
manure, the other for fresh water,
which is supplied from a 10000 gallon
tank. The place is equipped with "a
sawmlll and box factory for the ex-
elusive use of their large business.
They also have large cut-flower
vault. The major part of their pro-
ducts are disposed of at wholesale. the

IT IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither Liniments nor 0intments
Will Reach Rheumatism-Ho
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with infamed and aching
joints; or painful muscles; people who
shuttle about with the aid Of cane or a
crutch and cry, Oh at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, "What is the best
thing for rheumatism p
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex-
ternal applications is a foolish waste of
time The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease on the skin the poison
in the circulation is increasing.
Delaysin adopting a sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson experience with this
obstinate and distressing af1iction is
that of hundreds. He says:
"About year ago I was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. I tried number
Of treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the pains"
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only surface in
dication He adds:
ct had heard DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as cure
for rheumatism, and when found that
Twas getting no relief from applications,
I made up my mind that l would try
them. Before the first box was gone
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, and that they were not so
severe as before. After the second box
had been used up I was entirely free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
of rheumatism since"
The change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No. 115
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found the true means for the purifi-
cation and enrichment of his blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best Of all blood remedies
They effect genuine and lasting cures in
rheumatism. They do not merely deaden
the ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by all
druggists.
