States Cut Flower Co., in Elmira, N. Y. 

 Lord & Burnham have one of their best 

 mechanics on the job. Richard King 

 says he will turn out finer stock than 

 ever in this new range. 



H. N. Hoffman, of Elmira, is a busy 

 fellow. Ho is on the advisory board of 

 the Cut Flower Co., steward of the fine 

 estate of J. Sloate Fassett, executor of 

 the big Hoffman estate, a live nursery- 

 man, fanner and florist. 



Frank Durand handles the local outplit 

 of the Cut Flower Co., and finds it very 

 convenient since disposing of the old 

 Eawson plant. He is an artist of note 

 and has had charge of the finest decora- 

 tions seen in this hustling town. 



A. H. Woeppel, of Corning, N. Y., was 

 very busy at the time of my visit. Con- 

 gratulations are in order; the stork 

 passed over from Hoffman's, where he 

 bad dropped a lusty boy, and left a 

 rosebud with Mr. Woeppel, who says it 

 is the prettiest of the bunch. 



W. A. "Wettin, of Hornellsville, N. Y., 

 will put in his spare time this summer 

 remodeling the store, making two into 

 one, with a plate glass front. A good 

 cellar will be built. 



D. E. Herron, of Olean, N. Y., has the 

 only conservatory on the main street and 

 finds business warrants the expense. One 

 must be up to date these times. 



F. H. Johnson, of Olean, was laid up 

 last winter, just at the time old Boreas 

 was getting in his worst licks. Mr. John- 

 son is a veteran of the civil war and, 

 with his pleasant side partner, does a 

 snug, profitable business.

says Queen Louise is the best white car- 

 nation with him today. His stock of 

 spring plants is evidence of good care. 



The Lake View Kose Gardens, in 

 Jamestown, N. Y., are steadily nearing 

 the city with the big range of glass 

 going up. There is quite a stretch of land 

 not yet covered, but with the demand for 

 stock it looks as though there is not 

 enough to provide for the needs of 

 the future. A big handicap with Supt. 

 Roney is the difficulty in getting compe- 

 tent help. He has hit upon a plan to 

 form a night school for the purpose of 

 studying Latin, as the sons of sunny 

 Italy are being trained for the profession 

 of rose growers and carnationists. It is 

 to be hoped a repetition of the rude 

 shock sustained by a trusted employee of 

 Mr. Renter will not happen here. Evi- 

 dently the gentleman in question was 

 anxious the intended victim should pass 

 away amid the posies. Geo. Heelas, the 



artistic decorator at Lake View, says he 

 is kept very busy filling orders for the 

 noted brand of plant food introduced by 

 Walter Mott when here. 



M. I. O'Brien, of Sharon, Pa., after 

 July 1 will transfer his business to Wal- 

 ter Mott and Frank Burfitt, who will 

 conduct the same under the firm name of 

 Mott & Burfitt. As the good will goes 

 with the business, the new firm cannot 

 fail to score a success. W. M.

Fred G. Lewis reports tliat last Fri- 

 day, May 10, it commenced snowing in • 

 the afternoon and for three hours it 

 snowed harder than it did any time last 

 winter. A great deal of it melted as it 

 fell, but at six o'clock there were four 

 inches left. The temperature went down 

 to 28 degrees that night. Saturday night 

 it went down to 24 degrees. Carnations
