 a vast' of coriwe st'oilliiifjs and three dif- 

 ferent aniarvllis seedlings. Tlie.se tiow-

 tion. 



Various Notes. 



The Sidiroeder Floral Co., Twenty- 

 fourth street and I'ease avenue, suffered 

 a loss from a fire at the f^reenliouses 

 March 4. The fire started in the boiler 

 room and destroyed nu)st of it, as well 

 as the end of one house, ("onsideriiifj 

 the possibilities and the extremely cold 

 weather at the time, the damajje done 

 was small compared with what it might 

 have been. William Ti. Schroeder, the 

 ))resident, soon had the buiiied section 

 under cover, and the damage to sto(dv 

 ]ilants will probably be light. The loss 

 was covered by insurance. This con- 

 cern lost quite a few lights of glass last 

 summer when a hail storm swejit this 

 Aiciuity. * 



,1. Ij. Schiller, who has been ill at the 

 hosj)ital for some time with intestinal 

 trouble, submitted to another ojieration 

 March .'i. This makes the fourth opera- 

 tion Mr. Scliiller has undergone since 

 he was taken ill this last time. While 

 the operation is naturally of a S(>rious 

 nature, it is hoped tliat it will lie in- 

 strumental in bringing about a comjdete 

 recovery. IT. J. S. 



CROMWELL, CONN. 



A. X. I'ierson, Inc., made the first 

 shijiment of young rose stock February 

 19. Among the labor-saving machinery 

 installed last summer was a steam 

 shovel, which is used for turning ajid 

 loading compost during the sumnu>r, and 

 loading coal trucks during the winter. 

 It does the work of thirty men. 



Wallace K. I'ierson is being congratu- 

 lated by his friends on the arrival of 

 Wallace R. I'ierson, Jr., Fel»ruary 18. 



Robert K. Karlstrom has returned 

 from a trip to N(>w Orleans, where ho 

 spent a month fighting ofl" neuialgia.
