when it was more plentiful. A small 

 quantity of outdoor bulbous stock is 

 offered and is selling briskly. There is 

 no more than the usual call for greens. 



Mr. French Satires. 



It is announced that Richard Salm has 

 purchased the interest of Guy French 

 in the business of French & Salm and 

 hereafter will conduct it for his indi- 

 vidual account. 



French & Salm have operated the 

 greenhouses of the Union Grove & 

 Yorkville Greenhouse Co., at Union 

 Grove, Wis., for three years. The lease 

 recently has been renewed. In the be- 

 ginning the establishment, which con- 

 sists of three big Lord & Burnham iron- 

 frame houses, was planted to Mrs. Eus- 

 sell rose, but Mr. Salm had been a Beau- 

 ty grower for many years and last sea- 



son Russell was thrown out and Beauty 

 substituted. There is nothing else on 

 the place, the stock consisting of 36,000 

 plants. The success which has attended 

 the change has been phenomenal, the 

 quality and quantity of the cut compar- 

 ing favorably with the days this market 

 was famous as the Beauty center of the 

 United States. 



April Weather. 



The weather man's report for April 

 shows one or two reasons why flowers 

 have not been plentiful. Of sun there 

 was only forty-eight per cent of the 

 possible duration; there were only two 

 clear days in the month. The first ten 

 days were warm; later the temperature 

 was below normal. 



Outdoor vegetation, which was early 

 at the middle of April, now is about 



normal. Growers are getting carnation 

 plants into the field whenever the soil 

 is dry enough. Bedding out will begin 

 next week. 



Various Notes. 



While Alois Frey was on the Pacific 

 coast this spring he purchased ten acres 

 of land at San Fernando, about twenty 

 miles from Los Angeles, and expects to 

 move his entire freesia stock for propa- 

 gating purposes and bulb growing to 

 the new location next fall, incidentally 

 making his home on the newly acquired 

 property. His present plan \s to con- 

 tinue the establishment at Crown Point, 

 which has become famous for its carna- 

 tions, snapdragons and anemone-flow- 

 ered mums as well as for the Rainbow 

 freesias. Relieving the Crown Point
