EXPANSION AT DOVER, N. H. 



Located on the southern slope of Gar- 

 rison hill at Dover, N. H., a flourishing 

 florist's business of approximately 60,000 

 square feet of glass is found. This es- 

 tablishment, now operating under the 

 corporate name of the Garrison Hill 

 Greenhouses, Inc., was formerly owned 

 by C. L. Howe. Mr. Howe retired a 

 few years ago, and the business was 

 taken over by J. T. Massingham and 

 later by James Whiting. The present 

 proprietors of the company took con- 

 trol in April, 1921, and in July of the 

 same year it was incorporated with the 

 following men as its ofticers: President, 

 Charles E. Cartland; vice-president and 

 manager, James "Whiting; treasurer, El- 

 well S. Shortridge. In Mr. Whiting the 

 concern has a man of wide experience as 

 a manager. He was the head of the de- 

 partment of horticulture at the Massa- 

 chusetts Agricultural College at Amherst 

 for seven years; he was also a lecturer. 



Recognizing the infinite possibilities 

 for expansion, the new owners set them- 

 selves immediately about altering and 

 improving the buildings, putting in new 

 concrete walls and a new heating sys- 

 tem. They are making arrangements for 

 the erection of additional houses in the 

 near future. 



The land occupied by the firm consists 

 of seven acres on Garrison hill. And in 

 addition to this plot, upon which the 

 greenhouses stand, the company pur- 

 chased the Henderson field of ten acres 

 back of the Wentworth hospital last 

 spring. The soil in this plot is particu- 

 larly well adapted to floriculture. 



The present stock of the concern con- 

 sists of 2,200 violet plants, 6,000 rose 

 plants, between 5,000 and 6,000 chrysan- 

 themum plants, 50,000 carnation cut- 

 tings, nearly 7,000 geraniums and many 

 other well known plants. 



Greenville, N. C— The Greenville 

 Floral Co., under the management of 

 E. P. Spence, has just started in busi- 

 ness.

Garlanite 



GARLANITE, the New Putty-Colored Glazing Com- 

 pound, is the result of years of experience and untiring 

 effort to produce a PERFECT Glazing Cement. 



GARLANITE, made in putty consistency for bedding 

 and semi-liquid consistency for bulbing over the top, 

 assures you of the utmost in Glazing Service. The beau- 

 tiful Putty color, its elasticity and the ease with which it 

 can be applied or removed when necessary to replace 

 broken glass makes GARLANITE the most desirable 

 of all glazing materials for both new and old work. 



PERMANITE, of course, still leads the field of black 

 materials.

To All Orchid-lovers, "Attention!" 



On May 15th next the Federal Horticultural Board has called 

 a Conference at Washington, D. C, to discuss Quarantine No. 37. 



At a previous Conference in 1920, at which were present over 

 twenty orchid men (besides, we had two hundred signed protests 

 from prominent orchid growers against the embargo on orchids), 

 two men only spoke in favor of the quarantine. 



In spite of the prevailing sentiment that the quarantine should 

 be modified, the Board decided that, inasmuch as Orchids could 

 be raised from seed, no change in the regulations were necessary. 

 Since that time, however, the effects of this embargo have been 

 disastrous to the orchid interests, and if you are in favor of 

 modified restrictions that will provide reasonable protection 

 against pests without destroying our orchid industry by prohiljit- 

 ing importations, send protest and, if possible, reasons for same to 



—DO IT NOW JOHN E. LAGER, 



We need your Chairman Orchid Committee, 



reply before May 15th Summit, N. J.
