MOTT-LY MUSINGS. 



T. J. Opperman, of Camp Hill, Pa., 

 believes this spring will offer a big op- 

 portunity to the raiser of vegetable 

 plants. He intends to double his usual 

 extensive sowing. The retail trade is 

 steadily increasing; a show house and 

 salesroom are in perspective. 



Manager Langhans, of the Pittsburgh 

 Cut Flower Co., was using the dicta- 

 phone. "Finest thing of its kind," he 

 observed, "but it lacks one feature to 

 make it perfect, facial expression. Then 

 it would be more interesting to our cor- 

 respondents and ourselves in many re- 

 spects." Secretary Clarke is putting 

 "pep" into the company's consignors 

 to grow carnations similar to those he 

 saw at Indianapolis. 



D. W. Davis, of Berwick, Pa., who 

 some two years ago closed his down- 

 town store, * has opened again with a 

 thoroughly up-to-date place in the cen- 

 ter of town. Increase of business is the 

 chief reason. "Just found we could 

 not get along well without the store," 

 said Mr. Davis. 



Benjamin Dorrance, of Dorranceton, 

 Pa., is wintering in Florida. Miss Dor- 

 rance reports exceptionally good busi- 

 ness. The rose crops are fine and there 

 are excellent prospects. Hybrid teas 

 flourish, especially Sunburst, Ophelia, 

 White Killarney and Hoosier Beauty, 

 the latter variety doing so well that 

 the planting will be double. It is pre- 

 dicted that there will be somewhat of 

 a scarcity of blooms to exhibit at the 

 March show at Philadelphia. 



A curiosity was noted in the beds on 

 the public square at Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 

 There was scarlet ruscus; grafted on 

 mountain laurelt " W. M.
