The sale for ornamental stock is so 

 good that it militates against the in-

 not always easy to find what is sought.

 plants. The managers of the new con- 

 cern are Geo. C. Groenewegen and H. 

 De Schepper, who have had wide ex- 

 perience in the trade in Europe and 

 America. Plenty of good land is avail- 

 able and the shipping facilities are said 

 to be excellent.
