 livered this week. 



George Martin has added several acres 

 of laud to his nursery recently and will 

 be located on Elm street. 



Mark Welch says that he has had the 

 largest spring sales this year that he 

 ever experienced. Mr. Welch has over 

 sixty acres of nursery stock and grows 

 exclusively for the wholesale trade. 



The Donewell Nurseries have a large 

 force of men putting in landscape work. 

 Many choice evergreens are being used 

 and this class of plant will be a spec- 

 ialty with this firm. 



C. C. Hallinan has purchased several 

 acres of land on Elm street near his 

 present location and is busy planting. 



Widgren Bros, have leased land on 

 Mentor avenue and are growing peren- 

 nials, strawberries, grapes, etc. 



Joseph F. Martin has begun work on 

 his new land, purchased last year, and 

 has several acres under cultivation. 



The Painesville Garden & Greenhouse 

 Co. had an exceptionally heavy demand 

 for flowers for Mothers' day. E. H. 

 Hawley, manager, says that business is 

 increasing steadily in this line and 

 prospects are favorable for growing cut 

 flowers and plants more extensively 

 next year. 



In this locality it is hardly necessary 

 to ask how business is; almost every 

 firm, large or small, is branching out 

 this vear. T. J. M.

It is not at all uncommon to find 

 English clergymen who are enthusiastic 

 rose growers, and a rose garden is al- 

 most as important to the British curate 

 as a "flivver" is to his American 

 cousin. On this side of the water most 

 of the preachers take up golf, tennis or 

 some other form of exercise. Only now 

 and then does one go in for roses, or 

 irises, or peonies, but when he does gar- 

 den he gardens just as effectively and 

 efliciently as he preaches. 



So now we can introduce as a real 

 rose-growing American preacher the 

 Rev. Edmund M. Mills, D.D., of Syra- 

 cuse, N. Y. To the titles that are at 

 present attached to his name should be 

 added another, "B.L.," which means 

 rose-lover, and the Bambler reckons 

 that the latest degree would please the 

 reverend gentleman fully as much as, or 

 even more than, the theological titles. 



For several years Dr. Mills haa been 

 president of the Syracuse Rose Society, 

 and his efforts have made that organiza- 

 tion of real value in the Salt City and to 

 rosarians everywhere. It is quite possi- 

 ble that the Syracuse society is the 

 largest rose society in the country. A 

 couple of years ago he allowed some of 

 his enthusiasm to escape to Rochester; 

 result, a thriving society in that city. 



Dr. Mills' residential city has now de- 

 cided to disprove the old proverb, "A 

 prophet is not without honor save in his 

 own city." A municipal rose garden is 

 soon to be established in one of the 

 Syracuse parks and to bear the name 

 of the E. M. Mills rose garden — a most 

 fitting testimonial to the character and 

 ability of this veteran preacher and 

 rosarian. 



Dr. Mills took his first charge at El- 

 bridge, N. Y., in 1872, and for fifty 

 years has been an active pastor in the 

 central New York conference of the 

 Methodist church. At the general con- 

 ference of 1920 he was unanimously
