PEORIA, ILL. 



At an expense of more than $4,000 

 Chas. Loveridge is erecting four of the 

 finest greenhouses in the city. The houses 

 will be 25x150 feet and will accommo- 

 date four benches each. At the east end 

 of these houses will be erected the office 

 and under this will be the cellar for cut 

 flowers. At the south side of the new 

 house, at an expense of over $1,000, an 

 entirely new boiler house will be in- 

 stalled. The combined steam of three 

 large boilers will be employed in heat- 

 ing the thirteen houses. To cover these 

 houses it will necessitate the use of 

 40,000 square feet of double-strength 

 of glass. In hotbeds immediately l)acK 

 of the houses more than 6,000 pansies 

 in bloom make on3 of the most pleasing 

 of sights to the visitor. The wealth of 

 varieties is truly marvelous. Twenty- 

 five thousand carnation plants are out 

 in the field. 



Scotch heather is being propagated. 

 But few florists in the west endeavor to 

 grow this plant. A good business is now 

 being done in spring stock. 



COLDWATER, :Mich.— Van Aken Bros, 

 are starting a branch store at Misha- 

 waka. 



St. Paul, :Minn. — Aid. Bantz noti- 

 fied the board of aldermen May 16 thai 

 he will ask an appropriation for F. 

 Schultz, who had the glass in his green- 

 house on Dale street shattered by hail. 

 The Eighth ward alderman said that 

 Schultz cannot afford to stand the loss 

 of $500. There was some question where 

 the money is to come from and Mr. 

 Bantz secured the promise of City Clerk 

 Kedington to see if there is anything 

 left in the cvclone relief fund.
