Concerning the recent bad weather, 

 it was general in most all the southern 

 states, but seemed to be central over 

 this section. It began February 3 with 

 a downfall of rain which froze as it 

 fell : then turning very cold it began 

 sleeting and the thermometer went 

 down to the zero mark. This lasted 

 one solid week and by the heavy weight 

 of the ice all varieties of trees were 

 broken down very badly. Some were 

 entirely destroyed. The ice also weight- 

 ed down all the trolley, telephone and 

 telegi-aph wires, so that traffic was im- 

 possible. We florists had to get our 

 cut flowers from the greenhouses in au- 

 tomobiles or on foot, as it was impos- 

 sible to drive horses over the slippery 

 streets and all trolley ears were at a 

 standstill. 



One of our local florists was a vic- 

 tim of the severe storm. A large tele- 

 graph pole, weighten down by the ice, 

 fell across one of the greenhouses, break- 

 ing about 125 lights and also damaging 

 a few pot plants on the inside. The 

 quick work of the greenhouse hands, by 

 covering up the broken-in place, pre- 

 vented- a greater loss, which would have 

 been caused by the cold. The actual loss 

 was not over $100. 



There were no funerals taking place 

 for several days on account of the freeze 

 up. Business was at a standstill. Such 

 winters as this is an unusual thing for 

 lis florists in the "Sunny South," and 

 to recover without a greater loss we all 

 are certainly thankful. 



Reports from all the local florists are 

 that business is at present very good 

 and prices in accordance. W. J. L.

Charles Gay, who has done a success- 

 ful business at his plant at Twenty- 

 fourth street and Ingersoll avenue, has 

 bought the greenhouses and stock of 

 the Des Moines Plant Co., on Thirty- 

 eighth street. He will continue at the 

 old stand, using it for the retail trade, 

 and will remove the wholesale depart- 

 ment, which was in need of more room, 

 to the new place. Here bedding and 

 greenhouse plants will be grown in quan- 

 tity. There is already a large stock on 

 hand. 



Lansing, Mich. — A. N. Sherg is 

 spending a few weeks at Portland on 

 business.
