' BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS. 



Sante Cruz, Caa.— The Santa Cruz 

 Bulb & Plant Co., which of late has 

 been a heavy advertiser in certain 

 trustful trade papers and, indeed, was 

 represented in two of them in their 

 issues of August 28, is in the hands of 

 its creditors. Attachment against the 

 company, which originally was con- 

 ducted by Alfred Mitting but more re- 

 cently by his son, Ernest Deroo Mit- 

 ting, amounts to about $1,000, but re- 

 tarns are said to be not yet all in. 

 The attaching creditors are bulb grow- 

 ers in the vicinity of Santa Cruz, who 

 had turned their freesia and calla bulbs 

 over to the Mittings to be sold. Some 

 of these growers had received small 

 payments on account, but many are said 

 to have received nothing and prospects 

 for realizing on any claims are thought 

 to be poor, as there are practically no 

 assets and bankruptcy proceedings are 

 said to be in contemplation. Attach- 

 ment proceedings were begun about Au- 

 gust 21 and both Mittings, father and 

 son, are said soon to have left Santa 

 Cruz and their present whereabouts is 

 said to be unknown to their creditors. 

 Alfred Mitting, the father, will be re- 

 called as once before having been en- 

 gaged in the bulb business at Santa 

 Cruz and subsequently in the nursery 

 'business at Holland, Mich., where he 

 traded as the Berrydale Experiment 

 Gardens.
