on the ground for the construction of 

 their new plant and will push the work 

 right along so as to bef ready with his 

 houses when the time comes to plant 

 inside. This company has a beautiful 

 farm of about 150 acres, almost level 

 and about four miles from the McKees- 

 port store, with a good macadamized 

 read all the way. They have the advan- 

 tage of having, in Mr. Orth, a manager 

 who is a hustler and who knows what 

 it is to climb from the bottom of the 

 ladder. 



Geo. L. Huscroft, of Steubenville, 0., 

 is pushing the work on his new place; 

 building material is arriving every day 

 and he is getting up the potting sheds 

 and other buildings first but will start 

 on the greenhouses as soon as he gets 

 all his material on the grounds. At pres- 

 ent he is busy getting things in shape 

 for his spring planting, which includes 

 the beds around all the important sta- 

 tions on this division of the Pan Handle 

 railroad. 



J. B. Murdoch & Co. are pushing the 



erection of two new houses at their Van 

 Emman place. 



T. P. Langhans, of the Pittsburg Cut 

 Flower Co., who has been slightly indis- 

 posed for some time, is taking a couple 

 of days of needed vacation in which he 

 will combine business and pleasure. The 

 writer saw a box of a new style fiahing 

 hook on his desk not long ago, but I do 

 not know whether this is the time to 

 catch fish or not. 



The bedding plant men are very much 

 in it just at this time and say they have 

 only one complaint, too much to do, and 

 should we get the usual frost which 

 comes in this section along from May 20 

 to 25 there will be many more plants to 

 replace than usual. 



May 12 we had hail again but, while 

 it was quite large, it did not break any 

 glass. If this keeps up hail insurance 

 should have a boom. 



The death of several Pittsburgers in 

 the recent Harrisburg railroad disaster 

 gave some of the retailers considerable 

 funeral work the past week. 



Southern peonies have been coming 

 into this markt for over a week. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



QuiNCY, III. — At a recent carnival 

 John Heller was represented by a young 

 woman whose costume was covered by 

 products from his greenhouses. 



Kewanee, III.— The heaviest hail 

 ever known here, fell May 10, and 

 broke 6,000 panes of 16x18 glass, at 

 one of the plants of Hamilton & 

 Plummer. At the other place the loss 

 did not exceed 150 lights. They are in- 

 sured in the Hail Association. 



Des Moines, Ia.— R. l. Blair wishes 

 it stated thar bo is in no way connect- 

 ed with W. L. Morris or concerned in 

 that gentleman's bankruptcy as he fears 

 some might suppose by the association 

 of names in the Morris-Blair Floral 

 Co., which is a corporation controlled by 

 W. E. Kemble and formed at the time 

 Mr. Kemble bought the retail stores of 

 Mr. Morris and Mr. Blair.
