GENEVA. ILL. 

 Geneva has become headquarters for 

 one of the largest Boston fern producing 

 establishments in the west. The soil con- 

 ditions seem particularly suited to this 

 plant and Davis Bros, make it their 

 specialty. They have 15,000 feet of glass 

 and it "is whoily given up to the fern, 

 their stock at the present time being 

 close to 25,000 plants, including all sizes. 

 They have about 80,000 feet of glass at 

 their other establishment at Morrison. 

 111., where practically the whole run of 

 greenhouse stock is grown, even vege- 

 tables being a profitable item there. 



NEW HAVEN. CONN. 



Easter Trade. 



Easter trade was a record breaker but 

 about all the sales were made on Satur- 

 day. Friday was so wet that there 

 was hardly any business, but Saturday 

 was as if made to order and by noon 

 there was a shortage on many lines of 

 stock. Flowering plants took the lead, 

 with LiUum Harrisii in the front and 

 pink and white azaleas a close second. 

 The azaleas were very good this year, 

 also the rhododendrons and much in 

 demand. Hydrangeas were less in de- 

 mand, as were Crimson Ramblers, hybri<l 

 roses, genistas and ericas. Primroses 

 were very scarce, very few being in 

 bloom. Pansies were in demand but no 

 supply. Azaleas, lilies and carnations

were the best ever seen at Easter, and 

 the supply was as large as the quality 

 was good. Some of the local growers 

 helped to make bulbous stock plentiful 

 by keeping their tulips in cellars a 

 couple of weeks too long; nevertheless 

 every one sold. The demand for violets 

 was equal to the call for a football 

 game and everyone was sold out soon 

 after noontime, and Sunday morning 

 the retailers were hurrying around to 

 -ee where they could get a few flowers 



or plants to fill orders and "any old 

 thing" would do as long as it showed 

 a little color. 



Notes. 



Mr. Henderson, the "Whitneyville flor- 

 ist, has taken charge of the Barnes' 

 greenhouses in this city, his son taking 

 their own business in hand. 



Mr. Angus, who succeeded E. Macken- 

 zie, at the Barnes greenhouses, has gone 

 up New York state to take a better po-
