DESTRUCTION BY TORNADO AND 

 HAIL. 



Reports of the severe storms which 

 swept over central Illinois and por- 

 tions of Indiana and Tennessee, May 

 26 and 27, show that many florists 

 have suffered financial loss, but so 

 far none in the trade have lost their 

 lives or been seriously injured. It Is 

 only a few weeks since the tornaao 

 which wrecked the Benthey green- 

 houses at New Castle, Ind., and just 

 missed the Peter Wieland range. This 

 time there was a very heavy fall of 

 hail and the Wieland loss of glass was 

 considerable, while the damage to 

 stock in the houses and field looks 

 now to be very great, especially to 

 the young carnation plants in the field. 

 Peony plants were just coming into 

 bloom and acres of them were stripped 

 by the hail. Mr. Wieland's range has 

 1(10,000 sq. ft. of glass, and breakage 

 is estimated at tour or five hundred 

 boxes. This can easily be replaced 

 but the loss to the stock will be much 

 more and insurance will cover but a 

 small part of the damage. There are 

 many growers of flowers and vege- 

 tables in northern Indiana and nearly 

 all lost glass, that of the Davis Gar- 

 dens at Terre Haute being most se- 

 vere, where it is estimated two car 

 loads of glass will be replaced. The 

 cucumbers, a specialty here, were bad- 

 ly cut. A new range of houses was 

 under construction by Lord & Burn- 

 ham Co 



The storms were not confined to 

 Illinois and Indiana, but swept on into 

 Tennessee where the Mclntyre Bros, 

 at Nashville had more than one-half 

 the glass in their new ranges broken. 

 Louis Henry is also a heavy loser, 

 while the Joy Floral Co., having the 

 largest range in Nashville, escaped al- 

 most without loss. The last week of 

 May brought disaster to a large sec- 

 tion of the middle west and only a 

 small portion of the damage has as 

 yet been located. When complete, it 

 will be a record of stupendous loss to 

 florists and vegetable growers whose 

 investments meant years of labor and 

 were of a nature that could not with- 

 stand the combination of wind, hail 

 and rain.
