SAVE THE TEAMING CHARGES. 



That the recent enormous development 

 of the florists' business was wholly un- 

 foreseen by those who had profited most by 

 it is clearly shown by the locations of the 

 principal plants. Up and down the coun- 

 try, not one in a dozen of the pioneers 

 had the foresight to put the boiler shed 

 beside the railroad track. Most of the' 

 new plants have side track facilities, but 

 in the old days the quantities of fuel re- 

 quired were not so great as to make the 

 cost of cartage a matter of importance. 

 Nowadays, however, the possession of a 

 sidetrack constitutes an enormous advan- 

 tage; in a bad year it might almost 

 make the difference between profit and 

 loss. One grower recently stated that 

 it cost him $1,000 a year to haul his coal, 

 and there are dozens who spend several 

 times this sum. Bassett & Washburn's 

 big plant is a mile from the rails, and 

 Peter Beinberg last season hauled 7,000 

 tons of coal about a quarter of a mile. 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co., at Morton Grove, 

 TIL, paid the railroad over $2,000 to get 

 a switch built to their boiler shed, but 

 they will get the money back by the 

 saving in cartage in a single winter. 



Montreal, Que. — The Gardoners' and 

 Florists' Club proposes to hold a carna- 

 tion exhibition early in the next month. 

 The club is in a most flourisuiLg condi- 

 tion and making active preparations for 

 entertaining the Canadian HoTTiculiural 

 Association, which meets hero oext Sep- 

 tember. 



Columbus, O. — The Columbus florists 

 spent a very pleasant evening January 

 17, at their smoker, which was a great 

 success. There was plenty of music, 

 furnished by members, and recitations in 

 German and colored dialect. Business 

 cares were forgotten for the time being 

 and everybody had a fine time and all 

 hoped to have another such meeting in 

 the near future.
