riRE AT MARION, IND. 



Fire, early Sunday morning, .Tanuary 

 30, starting in the boiler room, did dam- 

 age amounting to $0,000 to the Wilson 

 Floral Co., of Marion, Ind. 



With the wind in the cast, fanning 

 the flames, the fire and smoke were 

 carried against the greenhouses, break- 

 ing many windows with the intense 

 heat and destroying many plants and 

 flowers. The flow pipe which supplies 

 steam to tlie heating system in the 

 greenhouse burst when water from the 

 fire hose hit its hot surface. The build- 

 ings were then tlirown entirely open to 

 exposure. 



E. W. Siebrecht, who took over the 

 business of the Wilson Floral Co. last 

 November, worked tlirough the night in 

 an effort to erect partitions to save i)art 

 of the stock. The snow, wind and cold 

 could not be kept out, however, and the 

 ]dants were sjioiled. 



Mr. Siebrecht stated tliat tlie place 

 was fully covered by insurance and that 

 rebuilding would commence immedi- 

 ately, with the jiossible addition of 

 bigger and better liouses than before. 



DENVER, COLO. 



Did you see the St. Valentine's day 

 advertisement in the Denver Post? 

 This is the beginning of the campaign 

 jointly conducted by the growers and 

 retailers. This is evidence of a willing- 

 ness to coiiperate that augurs well for 

 the trade here. Shippers have felt a 

 big increase in the last few days and 

 local stores did an unusual St. Valen- 

 tine's dav trade. 



The I'ilitch (iardens Co. has 5,000 

 Faster lilies this year. They are al- 

 ready lengthening tip and promise to be 

 fine. Some of the jilants are three or 

 four in a pot and tliese are growing ex- 

 cejitionallj^ evenly. 



Guy French, of tlie American Bulb 

 Co., Chicago, visited the trade here last 

 week. S. Knudsen, of Boulder, Colo., 

 was also a visitor last week. 



Ben Boldt, of the Boldt-Lundy House 

 of Flowers, will have a fine crop of lilies 

 for Easter this year. E. E. 11.
