FIRE RECORD. 



Grand Rapids, Mich. — Fire originat- 

 ing in the Clark Bldg., East Fulton and 

 South Ionia streets caused a loss to 

 the Jones Seed Co. of $1,000. 



Clay Center, Kans. — The green- 

 houses of Chas. Humfeld met with a 

 loss by fire estimated at $500 on the 

 morning of Nov. 1st. 



Pittsburg, Kans. — The Steinhouser 

 Florist and Xursery Co., 1110 'South 

 Broadway, was slightly damaged by 

 fire Nov. 4th. The cause was the 

 overheating of a temporary stove 

 placed in one of the greenhouses dur- 

 ing the exhibition. 



San Rafael, Calif. — One of the 

 greenhouses and potting sheds of John 

 Martin was completely destroyed by 

 fire Oct. 27th. The house contained a 

 large collection of valuable orchids. 

 Damage to the stock in general was 

 considerable. Cause of the fire was a 

 choked oil burner causing a flare back. 



Victoria, B. C. — A. J. Woodward and 

 the Fairview Greenhouse Co. suffered 

 in the big fire that destroyed a por- 

 tion of the finest business block in the 

 city. Mr. Wooward's store was totally 

 destroyed. The fire broke the plate 

 glass window of the Fairview store 

 and destroyed the stock in the win- 

 dow. Mr. Woodward has opened a 

 new store as reported in another 

 column.

 new for Thanksgiving and Christmas 

 In the shape of red and violet ruscus 

 wreaths. A big shipment of these has 

 just arrived from abroad and are be- 

 ing eagerly snapped up. Being put 

 through the preserving process they 

 are particularly valuable for cemetery 

 use. This item also comes loose and 

 can be bought by the pound in both 

 colors and in this form can be utilized 

 in all kinds of design work. We note 

 here also a good demand for brown 

 and green preserved beech sprays and 

 brown pin oak.
