RICHMOND, IND. 



F. H. Lomoni for fourteen years with 

 the E. G. Hill Co. and a member of the 

 corporation since its formation, has with- 

 drawn therefrom and gone into the retail 

 business at the east side place, where he 

 will have ten acres of ground, a nice 

 dwelling and ten greenhouses. The prop-' 

 erty is on the city street car line and ad- 

 mirably located. Mr. Lemon will also 

 open a city store at once. He will carry 

 on business as Fred H. Lemon & Co. 

 Richmond is one of the finest and most 

 up-to-date cities in the middle west. Its 

 people have wealth and culture and will 

 be able to appreciate Mr. Lemon 's efforts 

 to give it the best in floral decorations, 

 handsome plants and high-grade cut flow- 

 ers. 



The E. G. Hill Co. has thus handed 

 over to Fred H. Lemon, Mr. Hill's son- 

 in-law, the retail division of its business, 

 and ten houses at the east side place. 

 Much of the glass at the east side has 

 been moved to the west side place, where 

 the corporation has now eleven large 

 houses, each 500 feet long and admirably 

 arranged for a wholesale place. Five 

 houses belonging to the corporation will 

 remain on F. H. Lemon's ground until 

 next spring, as, owing to the requirements 

 of the planted stock, more moving could 

 not be undertaken the present year. 



The corporation is composed of E. G. 

 Hill, president; Jos. II. Hill, vice-presi- 

 dent ; S. A. Hill, secretary, and E. H. 

 ^lann, treasurer. Their ground is a 50-
