MOTT-LY MUSINGS. 



Peter Brown, Lancaster, Pa., the 

 pansy specialist, says there will be no 

 ddtrth of this popular flower even if 

 there should be a shortage in gera- 

 niums, which looks probable. 



D. E. Landis, Rock Glen, Pa., began 

 buHiness as a florist and market gar- 

 dener a few years back, with sash 

 houses, and is now doing a floutishing 

 .trade in stock grown in the Lord & 

 Bumham latest models. He is assisted 

 by two sturdy sons. 



The Holmes Seed Co., Harrisbul-g, Pa., 

 was compelled to vacate its premises at 

 short notice, owing to the Pennsylvania 

 railroad changing the grade. Within 

 a week the firm was in its new home, 

 106-108 South Second street, in time 

 for holiday business, which was fieav- 

 ier than usual. It is an excellent 

 stand, both for wholesale and retail 

 trade. 



Harry Holmes, Jr., withdrew from 

 the Holmes Seed Co., Harrlsburg, to 

 form the new house of Holmes-Lether- 

 man Co., at Canton, O., whtie a gen- 

 eral seed business will be conducted. 



George Horsman, traveler for the 

 H^lmea Seed Co., Harrisburg, met with 

 a severe accident recently, which neces- 

 sitated a month 's nursing at home antl 

 is likely to invalid him for some time. 

 I am glad to say he is improving. 



Walter S. Behell, Harrisburg, com-, 

 toe^nted on the impetus given tHe seed 

 business by carrying poultry supplies, 

 which practically create an all sea- 

 son 's demand. From a small beginning 

 he has worked up a trade of large pro- 

 portions. 



T. J. Opperman, Camp Hill, Pa., spe- 

 cializes in bedding and vegetable 

 plants, filling the benches for spring 

 sales immediately after the holiday 

 trade is ov6r. He is of the opinion that 



miml^js^i^'A ^^ 



the retailer can profitably advocate the 

 larger planting of bulbs, in view of the 

 tempting offers now being made by 

 the Hollanders. 



C. E. Bossiter, Sunbury, Pa., had 

 good results with a bench of chrysan- 

 themums planted in the center, with 

 cucumbers grown on side benches. 

 Davis' Perfect and White Spine were 

 planted alternately, the Davis beipg 

 a stronger vine, with fruits averag- 

 ing fourteen inches in length — a profit- 

 able crop. These in turn were followed 

 by Grand Rapids lettuce, bringing from 

 5 cents to 8 cents per head, to be foJ- 

 lowed again by Stone tomatoes, which 

 are considered by him to be among the 

 best forcing varieties. He says he will 

 not plant asters near mums again, as 

 he had hard work to keep down thrips. 

 A new house has been added for mam- 

 moth verbenaa and rooted cuttings of 

 soft-wooded stock for the wholesale 

 trade. 



Ira G. Marvin, Wilkes-Barre, Pa., 

 wittily remarked that he broke his left 

 arm handling the holiday rush. This 

 was true in that he was making a spe- 

 cial delivery on his wheel, which skid- 

 ded and threw him with a force suf- 

 ficient to break the small bones. He is 

 recovering nicely and at the same time 

 is giving the business a thorough over- 

 hauling, finding concentration and spe- 

 cialization really necessary. 



J. L. Dillon, Bloomsburg, Pa., is pre- 

 paring a large stock of his specialty, 

 verbenas, also young roses and carna- 

 tions. Sunburst rose is the leader and 

 is counted highly profitable to grow.
