will be a busy one. Dollar day for 

 Grand Rapids proved to be a busy one 

 for most merchants, but, though some 

 of the florists advertised, it did not 

 seem to increase sales in the flower 

 stores much. Stock is plentiful and of 

 fairly good quality, with the exception 

 of sweet peas. Many spring flowers 

 are coming in and are most in demand. 



Various Notes. 



E. Mulick, of the Greenville Floral 

 Co., Greenville, was a recent visitor, 

 and purchased while here material for 

 the erection of 100,000 square feet of 

 greenhouses, to be added to his range 

 at Greenville. 



James Schols made a record-breaking 

 pick of violets March 3, picking 1,600 

 bunches, twenty-five in a bunch, for the 

 Shriners' ball. 



Henry Smith has been on the sick 

 list for a week, but is at the store 

 again. Miss Frances Robinson, of the 

 Smith store force, is at her home in 

 Lament caring for her father, who has 

 been ill. 



Crabb & Hunter have opened a branch 

 in the Pantlind hotel. 



A. F. Crabb furnished twenty-five 

 cases of southern smilax and 1,000 

 pounds of pine boughs for the automo- 

 bile show. A. F. C. 



MOONFLOWERS IN HAWAII. • 



I am enclosing two seeds which I 

 think are seeds of the moonflower. The 

 vine is a rapid grower, but has no 

 blooms to amount to anything. I have 

 seen only one bloom, which was a large 

 white one. Please tell me the name 

 of this, and how to treat it so that it 

 will produce flowers. T. A. H. — H. T. 



The seeds are those of the moon- 

 flower, botanically known as Ipomoea 

 grandiflora alba. The culture of this 

 plant should be comparatively easy in 

 so favored a latitude as you have in 

 the Hawaiian islands. It delights in a 

 rich soil and a sunny location. Given 

 these conditions and something suitable 

 to cling to, it should flower with free- 

 dom, opening its large white flowers in 

 the evenings and on dull days. C. W. 



Hagerstown, Md. — Henry A. Bester 

 & Sons will rebuild the greenhouses 

 recently damaged by fire. 



Wichita, Kan. — Elwood Kline has re- 

 turned to Wichita after an absence of 

 several vears. He now is employed by 

 W. H. Gulp & Co.
