BiCKNELL, Ind. — F. C. Winter is mak- 

 ing preparations to put up a large 

 greenhouse here. 



North Adams, Mass. — F. H. Pratt, 

 the Ashland street florist, has purchased 

 the greenhouses and land which he has 

 occupied for two years. He will erect a 

 large addition to the plant and install 

 a new boiler. This is a very valuable and 

 desirable location, as the main trolley 

 line passes the door. Mr. Pratt is to be 

 congratulated upon his good luck in se- 

 curing it. 



Zanesville, Ohio. — At the flower show 

 given on August 16, in the Market house, 

 the display of plants and cut flowers 

 made by the children of the various 

 schools attracted much attention. All the 

 plants and flowers shown by the children 

 were grown from seed given them last 

 spring by J. D. Imlay. The affair has 

 awakened so much enthusiasm that 

 larger quantities of seed will be dis- 

 tributed next spring and another exhibi- 

 tion given. J. D. Tmlay, K. A. Edwards 

 and F. C. McCaslin made good . displays 

 and Thos. Goodlive showed some well- 

 grown geraniums.
