NEWS NOTES. 



Corry, Pa. — The North Corry Green- 

 houses and store. 16 W'est Columbus 

 avenue, have been taken over by D. F. 

 Southworth. 



New Bedford, Mass. — Much trouble, 

 caused by cut worms, is reported by 

 some of the florists. The pests are 

 making great havoc amongst the car- 

 nations and as yet nothing has been 

 found which has seemed to destroy 

 them in any great number. 



A scarcity of cut flowers for Memori- 

 al Day is feared here. There is a de- 

 mand even greater than usual at this 

 season for geraniums all over the city.
