DTTMSER'S DATA. 



D. L. Vincent, of Ionia, Mich., is en- 

 thusiastic over his bench of Laddie 

 carnations. He is cutting as many 

 blooms per plant as from Enchantress, 

 but of superior size and quality. Mr. 

 Vincent is especially enthusiastic over 

 one plant of Laddie, which is sporting 

 three clear red flowers; he will work 

 hard to get up stock for a bench of red 

 Laddie. He wishes to know if others 

 find that Laddie sports in other shades 

 than its own. 



J. Koning, the new proprietor of the 

 Butterworth Floral Co., Muskegon, 

 Mich., is well pleased with his new un- 

 dertaking, as he finds the call for flow- 

 ers greater than his output. He will 

 sell chiefly at wholesale and is already 

 figuring on expansion. 



Mrs. G. E. Marsh, the new proprietor 

 of the Lakeside Greenhouses, Muskegon, 

 Mich., is having a fine trade. She has a 

 good lot of pot plants for her local trade 

 and her new crop of sweet peas will be 

 in for Easter. Her two sons, who have 

 returned from service overseas, are ac- 

 tively engaged with their mother and 

 are planning for expansion. 



L. Wasserman, of Muskegon, Mich., 

 is busy at the greenhouses getting ready 

 ^ for a big Easter trade and has turned 

 the downtown store over to his son. 

 Mrs. Wasserman is spending the winter 

 in California. 



The Queen City Floral Co., Traverse 

 City, Mich., is featuring bulbous stock, 

 of which they have a fine display. Wil- 

 liam Anderson, the manager, stated the 

 bulbous stock was a life-saver this win- 

 ter, as roses and carnations were so 

 scarce. 



Mark W. Doty, of Grand Ledge, 

 Mich., is having great success with car- 

 nations this season. The blooms are 

 of big size; Thenanthos especially is 

 a sight worth seeing. This variety is 

 grown on the most prominent bench, to 

 attract people's attention. 



E. G. Mulick, proprietor of the Green- 

 ville Floral Co., Greenville, Mich., hav- 

 ing disposed of his vegetable range, is 

 devoting his entire attention to his old 

 establishment, producing flowers. Mr. 

 Mulick stated, "It was the most logical 

 thing to do, as I could not be at both 

 places, and the labor situation is such 

 that a man has to have his work ar- 

 ranged 80 that he himself can be there 

 with his men to supervise the work." 



Byron L. Smith, of Ionia, Mich., was 

 handicapped for garden room at his 

 city location; so he moved his green- 

 houses a mile out of town and opened 

 a store on the main street of Ionia. Mr. 

 Smith is just recovering from an attack 

 of the flu, which has kept him from his 

 daily routine for five weeks. 



H. L. Weaver, of Traverse City, Mich.,

is well pleased with his venture in the 

 florists' business. So far he has been 

 getting along without greenhouses, but 

 is anxious to build. If the prices of 

 material and labor permit, he will build 

 a small range next summer for growing 

 potted plants.

 houses in his own name, is catering to 

 the local trade. He is quite busy taking
