GENERAL NEWS NOTES. 



Mrs. Jennie P. Snow of Sharon, 

 Mass., met vnth a serious disaster in 

 the loss of her largest greenhouse, 

 caused by the great weight of snow 

 and hail on the root. Although six 

 men and boys worked all Sunday try- 

 ing to clean the snow off, it finally 

 caved in. About 5000 feet of glass in 

 the building and the loss is estimated 

 at about $3000. 



The Rochester Florists' Association 



i.s strongly oiiposed to the prdjiosed 

 bill to establish a quarantine prevent- 

 ing the interstate shipping of cut flow- 

 ers, plants and similar products. Res- 

 olutions were adopted at a meeting of 

 the association protesting against such 

 a bill which, it is asserted, will crip- 

 ple the flower and seed business in the 

 Genesee Valley. 



H. J. Hughes has given up his flower 

 store at Sanford, Me., and returned to 

 Dover. 



According to a New York report 

 Charles Thorley, the florist, has pur- 

 chased the former home of John D. 

 Wing, a flve-story dwelling, at No. 16 

 West Forty-ninth street, which he will 

 alter to house his business for a time 

 at least. The property is 25x100. 

 Mr. Thorley bought the late residence 

 of Mrs. Rusaell Sage, at No. 604 Fifth 

 avenue, last month through Micliael 

 Dreicer for $441,000.
