son's business. The opening of the new 

 hotel on Mount Beacon will undoubtedly 

 help the local demand. 



Chas. E. Eobinson, of Peekskill, N. Y., 

 reports a good season. The change to 

 the larger store, on Main street, was a 

 decided step forward. 



J. Cunningham, of Cold Spring, N. Y., 

 is investing some of the season's profits 

 in a new boiler. He grows good stock 

 and always finds the demand ahead of 

 the supply. M. 



FOSTORIA, OHIO. 



The business of the Fostoria Floral 

 Co. has increased to such an extent that 

 the proprietor, E. E. Sackett, has been 

 obliged to apply to the board of public 

 service for such an improvement in the 

 water supply as will make it adequate 

 for his use. Though Mr. Sackett 's start 

 in the trade was quite unpretentious, he 

 has increased his facilities and his scale 

 of operations until he is now sending 

 shipments all over Ohio and some of the 

 neighboring states. 



Some years ago he built a new plant 

 at the corner of Jackson and Main 

 streets, continuing to operate the old one 

 on the Maple street end of his father's 

 Main street property. This season he is 

 moving the old plant to the new location 

 and adding new buildings, the extension 

 being of such importance that by fall he 

 will have double the capacity he had nine 

 months ago. Including these new houses, 

 his range will contain 75,000 feet of 

 glass. 



WINCHESTER, KY. 



In reviewing his business for the last 

 year. Shearer The Florist sees no reason 

 for feeling melancholy. He summarizes 

 results as follows: ' 



"In posting ray books July 1, I find I 

 have done one-third more business than 

 I did last year. Owing to the backward 

 spring, bedding stock moved slowly at 

 first and looked as if it were going to be 

 left, but when it did begin the demand 

 was the best since I commenced business 

 four years ago. Owing to the long 

 drought we have had, which was broken 

 by a good rain July 14, outside stock, 

 such as sweet peas, gladioli, dahlias, etc., 

 suffered considerably. While everybody 

 has been kicking about hard times, col- 

 lections have been good."
