STELLAETON, N. S. 



Tlie greenhouse range of George Mc- 

 Laughlin was destroyed January 26 by 

 a fire, which started at 3:30 in the 

 morning and was discovered by a 

 worker in a near-by railroad yard. The 

 fire had made such headway by the time 

 the firemen arrived that they could only 

 save Mr. McLaughlin's residence. The 

 temperature at that time was 16 degrees 

 below zero and whatever stock the fire 

 did not reach was ruined by the cold. 

 The fire is supposed to have originated 

 in the boiler room. All supplies were 

 destroyed and the total loss is estimated 

 at $12,000; the insurance is $3,000. Mr. 

 McLaughlin plans to rebuild at once. 



LOUISVILLE. KY. 



The Market. 



The last week was a busy one for 

 every retail store in town. Some large 

 funerals took place and greatly di- 

 minished the supply of stock. It is 

 noted, however, that there was some 

 increase in the quantity of the sup- 

 ply, but it is still a hard thing to 

 keep enough stock on hand. Freesias, 

 calendulas and a few snapdragons are 

 helping to fill the shortage, but the two 

 main supports, roses and carnations, are 

 still behind on account of the cloudy 

 weather. 



Various Notes. 



The crops look promising at the range 

 of A. Rasmussen, New Albany, Ind., 

 where eight acres are under glass. The 

 carnations will be excellent with a few 

 more bright, sunny days. The roses, 

 which are mainly Columbia, show a 

 healthy, vigorous growth and first-class 

 prospects for a large spring crop. Mr. 

 Rasmussen has six of his houses planted 

 in lettuce and that accounts for a good 

 deal of the shortage of cut flowers on 

 the local market. 



The Jacob Schulz Co. was busy all 

 hist week. The supply of bulbous stock 

 relieved the situation caused by the 

 demand for funer.nl flowers.

 steady progress in recovering her health. 

 It is hoped that she will soon be back

The sickness of his son and most of 



his help has caused E. G. Reimers, of 

 E. G. Reimers & Son Co., to worry some, 

 as he has to take care of his green- 

 houses at Doups Point and also look 

 after the stores. At his greenhouses he 

 has a fine lot of roses. B.
