NEWS NOTES. 

 Victor Felter has recently started 

 in the nursery business at Cherokee, 

 Iowa. 



The Templin Co. of Calla, O., re- 

 cently forced into bankruptcy, will go 

 out of business, it is said. 



M. J. Crow, has severed his connec- 

 tion with Stark Bros. Nurseries, Louis- 

 iana, Mo., and will start in the nur- 

 sery business in California. 



The orchards in Illinois are show- 

 ing poor results and it is stated that 

 not more than three per cent, of a 

 crop of apples will be harvested. 



The committee in charge of the 

 Horticultural Congress to assemble in 

 Council Bluffs, la., in December, have 

 recommended the purchase of land 

 and the erection of a suitable building 

 in which to care for the exhibits. 



Frank Huntsman and W. K. Part- 

 ridge, who have been identified with 

 the florist business in Cincinnati for 

 so long, have both disposed of the re- 

 tail end, and will now grow for whole- 

 sale trade only. Mr. Huntsman's 

 place is located at Ft. Thomas, Ky. 

 Mr. Partridge's at Lockland, O. 



In the bids opened on July 31 for 

 the construction of the city green- 

 house at Sandusky. O., the Lord & 

 Burnham Co.. New York made the 

 lowest offer in accordance with the 

 conditions. W. H. Lutton of Jersey 

 City made a lower price but failed to 

 itemize the bid as the law requires. 



One of the most interesting exhibits 

 at the S. A. F. convention for any one 

 who conducts a greenhouse is promised 

 by Lord & Burnham Co. While un- 

 pretentious as regards space occupied 

 this exhibit will embrace every variety 

 of fittings, hangers, clamps, joints. 

 valves, headers, gutters, pipes, venti- 

 lator appliances and such material 

 useful or indispensable in the erection, 

 repair and maintenance of a green- 

 house. The exhibit will be practically 

 an object lesson from their recent pub- 

 lication, The Handy Hand Book 



Julius Roehrs Co. are fitting up their 

 plant houses with cement benches of 

 home construction. A long line of 

 moulds has been laid in the large shed 

 and two crops of bench bottoms are 

 turned out every week. Discarded 

 screens from factories or mines are 

 used for "reinforcing" and they serve 

 the purpose well. Cement posts moulded 

 around small iron pipe form the bench 

 supports. Among the finest things to 



be seen here this season is a large 

 house completely filled with that most 

 beautiful and serviceable of all com- 

 mercial palms, Phoenix Roebeleni, in 

 graded sizes from small to very large 

 specimens. This palm which is un- 

 excelled as a good keeping house plant 

 has but one di awback, the necessity 

 for plenty of root space which makes 

 the pot or tub disproportionately 

 large for the size of the plant. A 

 house of superb new crotons is evi- 

 dently in training for the National 

 Flower Show wheie they are sure to 

 make a sensation. For any one want- 

 ing a striking centre feature for a 

 high roofed conservatory a rare op- 

 portunity is offeied in a well furnished 

 Kentia Forsteriana, 23 feet in height.
