Tha: ^u adqpst 5, 1915, 



Milwaukee, Wis. — J, J. Hagelgren, 

 746 Oakland avenue, has gone out of 

 the florists' business. 



Washington, N. J. — A. J. Bryan is 

 remodeling one of his greenhouses at 

 East Washington avenue. It will 

 eover 2,400 feet of ground when oom- 

 pleted. 



Tuskegee, Ala. — Oak Grove Green- 

 house has a new coleus that has been 

 chrfstened Yellow Trailing Queen. It 

 is a sport either from Trailing Queen 

 or Cecile Brown ' and the center of the 

 leaf is a good yellow, edged with green 

 and deeply se«rated. It is said to be 

 a good grower. 



Riverside, UL — Martin H. Eadke has 

 moved his greenhouse business from 

 Maywood to Riverside, utilizing the 

 25,000 feet of glass formerly operated 

 by Mrs. Mary A. Reissig. His new 

 location, which affords larger and more 

 Convenient business quarters, will be 

 known as the National Greenhouse. 



Elkhart, Ind.— The West View Floral 

 (^o., which was organized two years 

 ago to take over the business of W. H. 

 Troyer, is gradually working up a busi- 

 ness in shrubbery and hardy plants. 

 The firm, which is composed of N. A. 

 , Harold and S. S. Jones, operates a range 

 of seven greenhouses and a downtown 

 store, at 525 South Main street. Mr. 

 Jones has charge of the greenhouses and 

 Mr. Harold of the store. 



Danville, HI.— After the death of 

 Mrs. T. J. Morgan last September, the 

 greenhouses which she had conducted 

 since the death of her husband, A. W. 

 Morgan, in Chicago September 10, 1909, 

 were purchased of the heirs by her 

 daughter, Mrs. Harry P. Phelps, of 

 Princeton, 111., and placed in the charge 

 of an elder sister of Mrs. Phelps. This 

 sister is now so ill that Mrs. Phelps con- 

 templates selling the property. If the 

 sister regains her health, however, Mrs. 

 Phelps says she will rebuild the green- 

 houses and further develop the large 

 trade her sister has worked up. 



Forest City, la.— The Hill City 

 Greenhouses, started fourteen years ago 

 by Eugene Secor and later taken over 

 by his son, Willard Secor, recently de- 

 ceased, were sold July 19 to J. H, Eine

 prietors at Humboldt, la. The consid- 

 eration in the deal was said to be $15,- 

 000. H. B. Eine will manage the Hill 

 City Greenhouses, while his father will 

 remain in charge of the Humboldt es- 

 tablishment. C. B. Simons, greenhouse 

 foreman for Willard Secor for five 

 years, has been retained in the same 

 capacity. 



Minneapolis, Minn. — The Armory 

 garden, as it has come to be known 

 since the S. A. F. convention of 1913, 

 is again making an excellent show and 

 Theodore Wirth, superintendent of 

 parks, has issued a public invitation 

 to it through the daily papers. The 

 garden this year is nearly all planted 

 with hardy perennials. "The main ob- 

 ject of the garden," said Mr. Wirth, 

 "is to make the people acquainted with 

 the plants which are adapted for use 

 on home grounds in our climate, and 

 for that purpose especial pains have 

 been taken to label the plants."

Janesville, Wis.— J. T, Fitchett says 

 the season of 1915 was the best on rec- 

 ord for the sale of dahlia roots. He 

 began cutting flowers early in July and 

 expects an excellent season for the sale 

 of blooms. Speaking of rapid transit, a 

 shipment of dahlia roots that left the 

 grower in Germany December 16

 and one-half months on the road, in 

 fairly good condition. 



POST YOURSELF ON ALL 

 THE TACTS ABOUT GREEN- 

 HOUSES-INSIDE AND OUT! 



The best testimonial that we can 

 offer anyone is' to feffei^them to 

 those whom we have done work 

 for. 



This is but one of a long list we 

 have to submit, both from pro- 

 fessional growers and those who 

 grow for pleasure. 



Tamaqua, Fa. 

 To whom It may concern: — 



We recommend S. Jacobs & Sons for 

 greenhouse construction work. 



First, because of the superior quality of 

 their materials, and second, because of their 

 reasonableness in price. 



The first ami second i^reenhnuses shown ' 

 to the right of the photoRraph we purchased 

 from the above mentioned Arm in 191), and 

 . the third liouse on the left in 1013. Every- 

 thing for this entire range was bought from • 

 them. 



Their lieatlng apparatus has given us ex- 

 ceptional satisfaction. We liad an outside 

 temperature of 12® below zero Just the other 

 year, yet In spite of this we were able, under 

 ordinary heating, to Iceep up a temperature 

 of 60® in the houses. 



Very truly yours. 



F. W. BECKER. 



We know all the facts about 

 Greenhouses, inside and out. At
