AY 4, 1005. 



HAGERSTOWN, MD. 



Glorious weather, the kind that ' ' coaxes 

 the muse and drives the quill" of the 

 spring poet is responsible for the brisk 

 sales of beading plants. No sooner was 

 the Easter rush over than spring trade 

 followed in its wake in a manner that 

 leaves no ground for disappointment. 



Henry A. Bester has cleared ground 

 for the erection of three additional rose 

 bouses, each 25x60 feet. It is Mr. Hes- 

 ter's intention to plant more carnations 

 than heretofore, the increased demand 

 during the past season necessitating the 

 increase in glass. 



Wm. Bester will build a violet house 

 to cover 20x60. A deal has been recently 

 consummated whereby Mr. Bester acquired 

 a lot, ice house, stable, etc., immediately 

 adjoining his property. This deal, aside 

 from the value of tha land itself, offers 

 its special advantages to Mr. Bester, in- 

 asmuch as it insures his own place 

 against the intrusion of undesirable 

 neighbors, and his greenhouses against 

 the close proximity of a dwelling house 

 that might prove a menace to the pro- 

 duction of flowers. 



Ex-Mayor Henry Holzapfel has his 

 hands full between his active interests in 

 an automobile factory and his green- 

 houses. However, he possesses the happy 

 faculty of accomplishing an immense 

 amount of work without apparent hurry 

 or worry. His experience in the horti- 

 cultural department at the Columbian 

 Exposition in Chicago and more recently 

 in municipal affairs in his own city has 

 taught him the lesson of systematizing 

 things. Mr. Holzapfel will make some im- 

 provements about his place, chief of 

 which will be the replacing of the old 

 boilers by more modern ones and of 

 larger heating capacity. X. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



The result of weather conditions was 

 a shortened crop at Easter and good 

 prices. While most of the bulb crop 

 was over, there were plenty of pans to 

 be scfen at the stores and they sold out 

 clean, as did the shortened crap of 

 azaleas. There was a big lot of liles, yet 

 before noon on Saturday three of the 

 stores were sold out, and trying to buy 

 more lilies. Crabb & Hunter shipped 

 large quantities to Chicago and else- 

 where as pot plants. Cross was in fine 

 with Eamblers and hybrid perpetual 

 roses in full bloom, most of which were 

 shipped. Henry Smith had several extra 

 delivery rigs out, and the Grand Bapids 

 Floral Co. made things hustle with their 

 auto delivery, the only one among the 

 florists. 



Carnations, while in good supply, were 

 not sufficient to meet the demand, while 

 roses did not sell near as well, and lota 

 were left over. 



A sad event was the death of Nicholas 

 Freyling, who had suffered so long from 

 cancer of the stomach. The Florists' 

 Club sent a large wreath made by Chas. 

 Chadwick. All the florists who could at- 

 tended the funeral. 



Eli Cross has a new house 300 feet 

 long, which he has planted to radishes 

 and cucumbers. 



There is talk of trying to take some 

 united action with the Fruit Growers' 

 Association, to try and induce the ex- 

 press companies to handle cut flower 

 and plant shipments more carefully. The 

 complaints of shipments smashed is 

 sad to relate. G. F. C.
