Amarillo, Tex. — The Amarillo Green- 

 houses, owned by J. E. Kallenbach, 

 were nearly a total loss following the 

 hail storm of last week. Not only was 

 the glass broken, but the stock was 

 badly cut up, so that assistance will be 

 needed in restocking the place. Car- 

 nations, geraniums and ferns suffered 

 especially. 



Salem, O. — The Cowgill Floral Co. 

 has been incorporated with a capital 

 stock of $10,000. The incorporators are 

 E. I. Kille, Henry Trotter, Thomas G. 

 Reese, A. M. Wilhelm and C. C. Camp- 

 bell. The business was formerly con- 

 ducted by V. A. Cowgill, who filed a 

 voluntary petition in bankruptcy in 

 •Tune of this year. When the green- 

 houses were subsequently put up at pub- 

 lic sale they were purchased by Joseph 

 Bonsall, who has been in business here 

 for a number of years. 



Holdrege, Neb.— The Davidson Floral 

 Co. has completed the erection of its 

 show house, 20x70 feet, of all-steel 

 truss construction. The side facing the 

 street has been fitted with plate glass, 

 which affords an excellent display of 

 the flowers and plants, and greatly en- 

 hances the appearance of the establish- 

 ment. Recently a hail storm broke most 

 of the glass of the greenhouses. While 

 this was unfortunate, it permitted a 

 more thorough overhauling and repaint- 

 ing of the structures. Two coats of 

 paint have made the range look like 

 new.

Patchogue, N. Y. — J. K. Vanderveer, 

 Jr., has given the contract for his new 

 house, 46x130 feet, to the King Con- 

 struction Co., of North Tonawanda. It 

 will be of the King improved flat iron 

 rafter construction. 



Fiilton, m. — J. W. Lawson has taken 

 the J. E. Kerman vegetable houses in 

 exchange for his greenhouse range at 

 York, Neb. Instead of growing flow- 

 ers, as at York, he will specialize in 

 tomatoes and cucumbers.
