SIOUX arv, iova. 



Business is good with all the retailers 

 ■ind all of them are showing nice win- 

 •low displays. There were large num- 

 •>er8 of funeral orders in the month of 

 January and stock of all kinds was 

 cleaned up daily. 



The cloudy weather has kept some 



tock back a little. We find there is a 



?iiortage on roses, especially. All kinds 



f bulbous stock are moving fast. Car- 



nations have been in large demand and 

 every florist has been well supplied with 

 them. 



The growers have been using a lot of 

 coal, as we have had some extremely cold 

 days and the temperature at night has 

 occasionally been as low as 22 degrees 

 below zero, with snow on the glass, 

 which kept the plants back a little. 



A good call comes from out of town, 

 and Sioux City florists do a considerable 

 shipping business. Among the florists 

 that sell wholesale are the J. C. Eennison 

 Co., J. R. Elder and Rocklin & Lehman. 

 All of these firms ship and sell to a lot 

 of florists around us. 



R. E. Eathbun & Co., who began busi- 

 ness here recently, have built 10,000 feet 

 of glass and have a nice location for a 

 retail place. The houses are planted 

 chiefly with Harrisii lilies, all kinds of 

 bulbous stock and violets, and the crops 

 look fine for Easter. They have already 

 built up an excellent business. 



About three miles from the city there 

 is a fine range of greenhouses, owned by 



James B. Bishop and planted with vege- 

 tables. He has one large house, 28x260, 

 which is used for lettuce. It contains 

 2,600 lettuce plants, which present a fine 

 appearance as the visitor looks from one 

 end of the house to the other. He has 

 a mechanical water system, manufactured 

 by the Skinner Irrigation Co. It is 

 operated by a gasoline engine and 

 waters the whole house in ten minutes. 

 Mr. Bishop is growing and selling more 

 vegetables this year than ever before, 

 and he is planning to put up more green- 

 houses in the near future. He has 18,000 

 feet of glass now. 



Besides James B. Bishop, there are 

 two other growers who grow quite a 

 lot of vegetables under glass. One is 

 Fred Bishop, a brother of James B. 

 Bishop, and the other one is Peter Reard. 

 Mr. Reard also grows carnations, under 

 contract, for Rocklin & Lehman. Four 

 of his seven houses are in carnations and 

 the balance in lettuce, radishes and other 

 vegetables. All the vegetable growers 

 are doing finely. M. Rocklin.
