HAMMONTON, N. J. 



William Colwell is contemplating add- 

 ing more houses to his range this season. 

 The plant now consists of seven houses 

 and probably this space will be doubled 

 before spring. Lettuce is his main crop. 



J. Murray Bassett, of Packard street, 

 has added a propagating house and pot- 

 ting shed to his already well-equipped 

 place. The new house will be used for 

 dahlias, Mr. Bassett 's specialty. 



Emile Lelache, of Waterford Works, 

 has two nice houses of violets. The place 

 consists ot about six houses, well stocked. 

 Mr. Lelache, does a wholesale and retail 

 business in Camden. He has decided to 

 sell his place at Waterford Works, as 

 business calls him nearer to the city.

Portland, Me. — Miss Mabel Hayes, 

 chief designer for H. A. Harmon, has 

 gone to Georgia for a three week's va- 

 cation. 



Falls City, Neb. — Simanton & Pence 

 say Christmas business was immense; 

 much better than ever before. They did 

 not have enough stock to supply the de- 

 mand. Good stuff was wanted. Plants 

 sold well. 



Mansfield, O. — Peter Ott is said to be 

 the oldest florist in this city, and he is 

 certainly one of the oldest florists in the 

 state. For more than twenty years he 

 has been the florist for the Baltimore & 

 Ohio railroad, looking after the flower 

 beds all along the line of the road. Mr. 

 Ott celebrates his fifty-first wedding an- 

 niversary this month. 



WiNCHENDON, Mass. — The greenhouses 

 conducted by William W. Rhuland have 

 been badly damaged by fire. The loss 

 was at first reported as over $4,000, but 

 that estimate, apparently, did not include 

 all the probable injury to the stock from 

 smoke and exposure to the cold. Henry 

 J. Whittemore, from whom Mr. Rhuland 

 leases the greenhouses, is making ar- 

 rangements for rebuilding and enlarg- 

 ing them.
