Greening Bros., Monroe, Mich., report 

 "the results of the past season's busi- 

 ness by far the most satisfactory of any 

 year since the inception of the firm in 



the year 1883. Our business is almost 

 exclusively a retail one, but our nursery 

 grounds cover over 700 acres. The capi- 

 tal stock of this company is $100,000 

 and today, June 1, is our annual meet- 

 ing and we are pleased to say that we 

 are able to declare a dividend in clear
