Various Notes. 



While William and Samuel Graflf have 

 been in Chicago, attending the marriage 

 of their sister, Harry Aaron has been 

 assisting James McKellar in handling 

 the large business of the Graflf Bros. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. Avas espe- 

 cially busy last week. Among other or- 

 ders they had the supplying of carna- 

 tions daily to the booths of the Ohio 

 Hardware Men's Convention which is 

 annually held here. 



The craft are most favorably com- 

 menting upon the splendid American 

 Beauty rosea at the Institution for the 

 Feeble Minded. T. A. Sexton is in charge 

 of the state's greenhouses there. 



The craft are glad that Mrs. E. M. 

 Krauss is again able to be back at her 

 store after a severe attack of the grip. 



The Clover Hill Greenhouses have a 

 fine stock of Easter plants coming on, 

 and, as usual, their regular business will 

 carry them off. 



The Franklin Park Floral Co. has, as 

 in past years, a large stock of geraniums 



coming on, and, considering the weather, 

 the plants are in excellent condition. 

 The varieties grown here are: S. A. 

 Nutt, Queen of the West, Single Gen- 

 eral Grant, Heteranthe (Double General 

 Grant), and Mnie. Hallock Foote. 



The incorporation last week of the 

 American Mutual Pottery Co., of Co- 

 lumbus, with a capital of $100,000, 

 means that our Columbus Pottery Co., 

 recently destroyed by fire, will be rebuilt 

 and operated. 



Another competitor for the cut flower 

 business has appeared.' The Columbus 

 Drug Co. has added a floral department. 



C. V. Heikes & Co., of Troy, O., have 

 established headquarters here for spring 

 nursery stock sales, and planting eon- 

 tracts and are so advertising in the daily 

 papers. 



There has been an unusiial number of 

 spring openings in the big stores, which 

 has used up a lot of stock, and this 

 week one of the theaters gave carnations 

 to its patrons. All this helps. 



A suit for .$500 damages has been 

 brought against Gustave Drobisch, the 

 dean of our florists. The plaintiff de- 

 clares that the smoke from the green- 



houses of Mr. Drobisch, has blackened 

 the walls of her house and polluted her 

 cistern water. Much interest in the out- 

 come of this case is felt by all the 

 craft. 



The weather has been exceptionally 

 sunny and fine lately, but it has been 

 cold. A great trade is sure for Easter. 



Zero. 



Tipton, Ia. — Mr. Shiffer, who started 

 the Tipton Greenhouse some years ago, 

 has sold the plant to Mr. Patterson, 

 whom he employed last winter during 

 the busy season. 



Calumet, Mich. — Fire threatened the 

 destruction of the greenhouses of the 

 Lutey Floral Co. February 25. The of- 

 fice building and boiler room were de- 

 stroyed, and some of the plants were in- 

 jured by frost. 



Bo.\NOKE, Va. — The case of McGhee, 

 the florist, against the Tidewater, was 

 closed February 26. Mr. McGhee claimed 

 $1,200 from the Tidewater for alleged 

 damages done to his flower beds on Jef- 

 ferson street, but the court decided 

 against him in the case.
