ONARGA,ILL. 



The following is from the Eeview of 

 Onarga, 111., for January 4. 



"Ludvig Mosbaek, who has been in 

 charge of the Onargo Greenhouses and 

 farm gardens for the last two or three 

 years, has decided to leave Onarga and 

 join his family in Minnesota, where 

 they have a farm. The partnership ex- 

 isting between Mr. Mosbaek and L. J. 

 Risser has therefore been dissolved, the 

 business being continued under the name 

 of the Mosbaek Greenhouse Co. 



"We are sorry to have Mr. Mosbaek 

 leave this community, for he is not only 

 an active, enterprising business man, 

 who thoroughly understands the green- 

 house and farm garden business, but he 

 is also an excellent man to do business 

 with, being upright and honorable in 

 his methods, and a thorough gentle- 

 man. 



"Another man connected with this 

 business who will probably leave us soon 

 is A. Bobjerg, who had charge of the 

 ofifice work under Mr. Mosbaek. Mr. 

 Bobjerg is a man with whom it is a 

 pleasure to do business. By profession 

 he is a minister, is well educated, speaks 

 the English language fluently, and in 

 every way is an excellent citizen. Hav- 

 ing had charge of the printing for the 

 company, he has been thrown into close 

 relations with this oflSce, and like his 

 employer, we have found him a pleas- 

 ant, gentlemanly fellow, whose friend- 

 ship is worth having. ' ' 



Lancaster, O. — M. M. Miesse says he 

 had a big call for lettuce for Christmas, 

 one customer taking 3,000 pounds. 



Massillon, O. — N. E. Beck has just 

 finished a new house, 24x100, even-span, 

 steam heated, to be used for lettuce. He 

 makes a specialty of asters, pansies and 

 lettuce. Business is good. 



St. Louis, Mich. — Frank Kleinhans, 

 of Belding, has purchased a lialf interest 

 in D. Kleinhans ' greenhouse and the firm 

 will be known as Kleinhans Bros. They 

 have just completed a small cool house 

 and in the spring they will erect another 

 large house. 



Augusta, Ga. — H. W. F. Balk says 

 Christmas trade was satisfactory and 

 ahead of last year. Trade at his Broad 

 street salesrooms has been particularly 

 good. Blooming plants of all kinds are 

 rapidly superseding palms and ferns. 

 Augusta is growing as a flower center 

 and all the florists are doing a good busi- 

 ness. 



TOPEKA, Kan. — I. H. EUenberger re- 

 ports business constantly increasing and 

 that he is building steadily, a little at a 

 time. 



Council Bluffs, Ia. — J. F. "Wilcox 

 reports making Christmas shipments of 

 American Beauties to points as widely 

 separated as Chicago, 111., and Portland, 

 Ore. 



York, Pa. — Chas. E. Smith says holi- 

 day business was about fifteen per cent

 sold well. He had baskets made up of 

 blooming plants and ferns. Azaleas, 

 ardisias, cyclamen, begonias and poin-

 were somewhat higher in price than in 

 other years and did not sell so well.
