THE NEW PRESIDENT OF AMER
ICAN FLORISTS.

Abraham Lincoln Miller, president
elect of the Society of American Flor
lists and Ornamental Horticulturists,
was born May /, 1865, in East New
York
Fifty-five years ago his father,
Henry Miller established the business
on a small scale, which was later con-.
Quoted by A. l.. Miller, on Jamaica
avenue, Brooklyn. Twenty-Five years
ago the father retired and was suc-
ceeded by the son, who, realizing the
advanced condition of the florist busi-
ness and increasing demand for plants
and cut flowers, erected several more
houses on property at Jamaica, L. l.
The East New York business was dis
continued about six years ago, and the
Jamaica, L. l., establishment now con-
sists of thirty-nine acres on which are
erected modern greenhouses comprise
| ing 100, 900 square feet of glass. The
entire range is devoted to the raising
| of Easter and Christmas plants for
the wholesale trade.
Mr.. Miller was president of the New
York Florists Club in 1910 and has
continually and conscientiously filled
the many tasks assigned to him by
the club when ne was a private in its
ranks. He has been member for
over thirty years. OF the New York
and New Jersey Plant Growers As
ISOLATION he has been a member for
three years. OF the s. A. F. he has
been a member for twenty-six years.
Mr.. Miller stood for the presidency
of the S. A. f. in New York in 1917,
but withdrew in favor of Charles H.
| Totty. At st. Louis in 1918 he de-
clined to run, giving preference to
j. f. Amman of Edwardsville, Ill.
This year he energies as a successful
candidate.

FALL FERTILIZERS FOR LAWN.

To stimulate the growth of a lawn
and to improve its appearance for the
following spring no better treatment
can be recommended than the applica
ton of properly rotted manure in the
late fall. This application should not
be made until after the frosts have
stopped the growth Of the grass. Ten
to twenty two-horse loads should be
applied to the acre, according as the
soil Is more or less rich.
II Is important that the manure
should be thoroughly rotted before APP
plicatio1 SO that all weed seeds are
killed; otherwise damage done by
weeds will more than offset the fer
tilizing value OF the application. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture warns that manure really needs
careful handling before 1t is suited
for spreading over the lawn. Unless

After towering the pots are put

rest for two years before they are

Selection of seed at husking time

and become mouldy.
Good seed corn should be: First, well
