BANGOR FLORIST BRANCHING 

 OUT. 



G. S. Seavey & Son, 270 Fourteenth 

 street, have greatly enlarged their 

 garden and florist business and will 

 have many thousands of plants for 

 their trade. Last fall' they erected a 

 new greenhouse, 18 feet by 50 feet, 

 and have it filled to overflowing with 

 geraniums, salvias, coleus, calendula, 

 zinnias, etc- 



They have l)een doing a commercial 

 business in gardening since 1916, hav- 

 ing a very small equipment at that 

 time, in February, 1919, they bought 

 the Kavanah greenhouse and business, 

 and started growing pot plants and 

 seedlings for the florist trade. Com- 

 bining these two branches they built 

 up a large wholesale and retail busi- 

 ness. 



They expect to have 14,000 red sal- 

 mon and white geraniums alone. They 

 are greatly enlarging their supply of 

 pot grown tomato plants and have con- 

 tracted to grow thousands of early 

 transplanted cabbage plants. 



They will also operate their garden 

 on Fourteenth street and the farm on 

 Hammond street. They are negotiat- 

 ing for a Beeman tractor, which has 

 been claimed to have scored great suc- 

 cess in the west for marliet and truck 

 gardeners. — Bangor News.
