brought out a lively discussion as 70 the
best methods OF spraying and spraying
mixtures W. @. Swan Of Tecumseh was
OF the opinion that good results could
be had from picking the wormy apples from
trees and destroying them as by spraying.
II might require a little more work, he
thought, but the results would be more sat
isfactory. He had with him on exhibition
a number Of hne apples to prove his theory,
which had never seen a sprayer or spraying
mixture
Florist Dole of Beatrice brought with
him a fine collection of vine flowers that
he had trained over a summer house at
his home, including a new variety of the
hardy pea, scarlet runners and honey
suckle. The summer house was used as
a play house for children, and he thought
some such a plan might be adopted for
the country school houses.
Prof. L. Bruner Of the bureau of ento-
moloey and ornithoiogy of the University
of Nebraska endorsed the plan of beau
tifying rural school grounds. He gave
also a brief sketch of the origin of the
establishment OF the forest reservations
in Nebraska and the attendant success.
w. r. Adams, superintendent of parks
of Omaha, read an interesting paper in

tude.

We are all millionaires, but somehow
lack the ability to reach out and take hold
of the wealth that nature offers us. That
Is, some of us do. We foil to profit by
the material within our easy reach. All
we have to do is to keep on the right side
OF nature and know how to use the capital
so freely and abundantly proffered us
What field of opportunity there Is In
working the gold mine of the front yard
In making it thing of beauty and a Joy
forever.
The horticultural has opened to us a field
OF endeavor that Is akin to goodness. He
leaves path Of beauty behind him that
shall endure forever. I want to preach
our reach the glorious beauty OF Gods
creations in flowers, which are but rainbow
fragments that need a little artistic toucf
to excel in joy the bow of promise. The
armament is but flower garden of the
universe, the stars OF beryl. of crimson
gold, emerald and diamonds are the handi-
work of Gods glory that have their
counterpart in the floral possibilities Of the
earth. Here. then, is our unused capital
and Is ours but for the taking. / would
love to see every street boulevard, and
every sand hill covered with pines thus
making the air redolent with their aroma
