branch of Bassett & Washburn, several 

 lar{!^e houses devoted to growing palms. 

 rii(>y send the report that they were 

 iMuch pleased with the appearance of 

 iiis young stock, all started from seed, 

 and with the substantial character of 

 tlio houses. 



•Tohn F. Groom & Bro., Magnolia, N. C, 

 'ast week delivered large quantities of 

 '•nnna. caladium and tuberose bulbs in 

 ♦liis city. 



It has been a winter of much activity 

 ■it E. P. Winterson's new property of 

 seventeen acres at Highland Park. He 

 l>as moved, lowered or straightened up 

 ihirty-five large trees, one moved a 

 Muarter of a mile having weighed, with 

 its ball of soil, approximately fourteen 

 tons. The work has attracted much at- 

 ^fntion in the vicinity as having been 

 ^he laj^est undertaking of its kind in 

 ^hat neighborhood. 



•^. E. Pollworth, o^^e^icott Bros. 



Co., returned from a western trip last 

 week which he says proved successful. 

 Mr. Pollworth has bought himself a Ford 

 for business calls. 



Bulbous stock in large quantities now 

 is being marketed, in pots and boxes, by 

 Frank Oechslin. His La Eeine tulips 

 have brighter color than any others seen. 



Eric Johnson, of the A. L, Eandall 

 Co., paid a brief combined business and 

 pleasure trip to Detroit last week. 



A boiler at the G. C. Weiland range 

 burned out February 12, btit there was 

 suflBcient extra capacity to avoid dam- 

 age to the stock and the next day the 

 cold wave passed. 



Zech & Mann, who enjoy a consider- 

 able trade in New Orleans, say the 

 Mardi Gras has made an appreciable in- 

 crease in the shipments to that city. 



That there will be no further shortage 

 of any kind of flowers this season is the 

 opinion of A. T. Pyfer, who says that 



he can not recall a season in which there 

 has been more than momentary scanity 

 after "Washington 's birthday. 



H. B. Kennicott says his mother, Mrs. 

 Flint Kennicott, writes from their j)]ace 

 in the Tampa district that the recent 

 freeze was the worst known in Florida 

 in many years. Mr. Kennicott fears 

 damage to his orange trees, as the 

 weather before the cold wave had been 

 unusually warm for the season. 



Several large orders have been keep- 

 ing the store fixture department of the 

 A. L. Randall Co. working overtime, 

 according to Frank .T. Rioux, who says 

 that he is well pleased with the manner 

 in which his division is progressing. 



The largest shipping business his con- 

 cern ever has done, is what Henry Van 

 Gelder, of Percy .Tones, Inc., says of 

 the St. Valentine's day trade of his 

 house.
