HOUGHTON, MICH. 



The Lakeside Floral Co. 



The Lakeside Floral Co., with its head- 

 quarters here and its branches at Calu- 

 met and Chassell, has developed and pros- 

 pered remarkably since it was organized 

 last spring. Besides buying all the prop- 

 erty of the old Lutey Floral Co., the new 

 firm has almost doubled the capacity of 

 the Chassell greenhouses, has built a new 

 store and conservatory at Calumet, im- 

 proved and partly rebuilt the Calumet 

 greenhouses and purchased the building 

 formerly occupied by the Lutey Floral 

 Co. in Houghton. 



At Chassell the company has eighty 

 acres of land, with a quarter of a mile 

 of lake frontage and with side tracks, 

 docks and other special conveniences for 

 transportation. Part of the land is used 

 as pasture, while the rest of it is being 

 planted with nursery stock. It is the 

 intention to use the entire aareage for 

 nursery and greenhouse purposes eventu- 

 ally. The Chassell greenhouses include 

 35,000 square feet of glass, devoted en- 

 tirely to cut flowers. The success of this 

 plant is largely due to the energetic ef- 

 forts of the foreman, Harry Lutey, and 

 his assistant, Alfred York. 



The Calumet greenhouses comprise 20,- 

 000 square feet of glass, besides the new 

 store and conser\'atory, already men- 

 tioned. The houses at' this branch are 

 under the efficient management of John 

 Murley and are used not only for cut 

 flowers but also for propagating purposes 

 and for ferns, bulb stock and beddine 

 plants. * 



DALLAS, TEX. 



Such men as E. E, Perrynjan, Otto 

 Lang. Ernest Nitsche and Henry Holt- 

 kanip were the pioneers in the florists' 

 business in this section and cleared the 

 way for the great industry that was to 

 come. From tl;e nucleus started by these 

 men, the first greenhouse and nursery 

 of any considerable size was constructed 

 by the Texas Seed and Floral Co. some 

 fifteen years ago, and this was followed 

 a short time afterwards by the plant of 

 the Southern Floral Co., under the man- 

 agement of E. E. Ferryman. It was 

 with the coming of E. H. R. Green two 

 years ago that the industry reached a de- 

 velopment that made its influence felt 

 throughout the southwest. 



Curious to relate, that which was main- 

 ly responsible for Mr. Green's big plant 

 on the Kaufman road is the boll weevil. 

 For the purpose of fighting this insect, 

 which was playing havoc with cotton 

 raised along the Texas Midland, of which 

 he is president, Mr. Green purchased 245 

 acres of land near Terrell, to be used 

 as an experimental farm for seeking a 

 way of exterminating the pest. Quite 

 naturally, with glass on the place, some 

 flowers were grown. 



Dallas has now practically 500,000 

 square feet under glass, there being be- 

 tween 400 and 500 men employed at some
