The Florists' Review 



SbftemAbb 30, 1015. 



is raising his standard of farming and 

 living. ' ' 



The St. Louis Seed Co. reports the 

 arrival of seven bags of radish, from 

 Kotterdam, direct in bond to St. Louis. 



Apparently some of the dealers have 

 oversold on Paper Whites, at least for 

 early delivery, as there are numerous 

 inquiries for round quantities. 



Eighty barrels and 100 bags of clover 

 seed arrived at New York September 21, 

 on board the steamer Walldyk, from 

 Amsterdam. The two shipments were 

 consigned to J. M. Thorburn & Co. and 

 Hudson & Randolph, respectively.

 ities through the port of New York

DICKINSON'S BIG PLANT. 



A Chicago bank has underwritten a 

 bond issue loan of $1,500,000, -maturing 

 in two to eight years and bearing six 

 per cent interest, to the Albert Dickin- 

 son Co. The loan is secured by the 

 great new west side plant of the Dick- 

 inson company and it is of special in- 

 terest in Chicago financial circles as 

 being not only the largest loan of the 

 year, but the largest closed in the west 

 side in many years. 



The Dickinson plant, which has just 

 been completed, occupies over seventy 

 acres, of which sixty acres are owned 

 in fee, bounded by the drainage canal 

 on the north, Thirty-fifth street on the 

 south, the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore 

 & Ohio, and Chicago .Junction rail- 

 roads at Campbell avenue on the east, 

 and California avenue on the west. The 

 buildines. which are of reinforced con- 

 crete and steel construction, comprise 

 seven units, consisting of three holding 

 units, each 80x240 feet, of three, four, 

 and five stories in height; also an as- 

 sembling house, 60x420 feet, four stories 

 high; three working houses, 80x120 

 feet, one being 200 feet high, and con- 

 taining 1,100 tons of steel, which, with 

 its large steel tanks, will provide stor- 

 age for 750,000 bushels of grain. It is 

 stated the buildings are so constructed 

 they can be used for other industrial 

 purposes. 



MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



George Thomson, of Northrup, King 

 & Co., Minneapolis, contrasted an item 

 that appeared in the Boston Beacon of 

 1675, advertising a shipment of seeds 

 as part of a cargo from Glasgow, with 

 the seed trade of today. His house, 

 for instance, has shipped 900 cartons 

 of seeds to various points this season. 



The W. H. Bofferding Co., Minne- 

 apolis, remarked \ipon the fine exhibit 

 of onions at the state fair, grown from 

 their seed. Specimens of Red, White 

 and Yellow Globe were fine, consider- 

 ing the wet season. This firm has a 

 window display of dahlias, all labeled, 

 from which orders are being booked for 

 spring delivery. Geisha, a prize-winner,
