Febbda^bt 25, 1909. 



KRTF., PA, 



Current CommeaL 



Several thousand dollars' worth of 

 damage was done to the shade trees of 

 Erie by the recent storm. Telegraphic 

 communication with the outside world 

 was entirely cut off for a few days, while 

 poles and wires were strewn about on the 

 streets promiscuously. On Monday, 

 February 15, Buffalo could be reached 

 by wire, but Tuesday and Wednesday 

 were hopeless. The city was dark at 

 night, on account of the danger from 

 live Avires. There was no damage re- 

 ported from any of the greenhouses, ex- 

 cepting slight loss of outside shrubbery^ 

 Business has been quiet for a few days, 

 while stock is getting more plentiful and 

 good in quality. 



Jesse Frost, formerly assistant fore- 

 man for the Baur Floral Co., has re- 

 signed and is building a greenhouse, in 

 which he intends to grow choice vege- 

 tables. 



The Herald Paper Box Co., of Erie, is 

 commencing to manufacture boxes for 

 the retail florists' use. 



Miss Elizabeth Moran, saleslady at the 

 store of the Baur Floral Co., has been on 

 the sick list. 



The Erie Y. W. C. A. is having a 

 *'War of the Roses." One lady is cap- 

 tain of the * ' Red Rose Party ' ' and an- 

 other of the ' ' White Rose Party. ' ' The 

 war is to determine which side can se- 

 cure the greater number of members for 

 tke Y. W. C. A. in. a given time. The 

 decorations at their banquet, given "be- 

 fore the war," consisted of red and white 

 roses. B. P. 



NORTH TONAWANDA, N. Y. 



TTie King Construction Co. found it 

 desirable to establish a distinct depart- 

 ment for the handling of all matters 

 pertaining to sales. H. E. Bates, who is 

 well known among growers in the east, 

 has taken charge of this new sales de- 

 partment. Mr. Bates has recently been 

 with John A. Payne, of Jersey City. 

 Previous to this he was with Hitchings 

 & Co. and with the Pierson-Sefton Co. 

 The King Construction Co. aims to keep 

 its organization up to date and the or- 

 ganization of this department is in line 

 with this policy. 



Wheatox, III. — D. F. Hawkes is pick- 

 ing a fine crop of violets and pansies for 

 the Chicago market. 



HoPKiNSViLLE. Ky. — W. F. Snyder's 

 boiler has given out three times this 

 Avinter, the last time when it was 9 de- 

 grees below zero, and he has lost a lot 

 of stock.
