for twenty-nine years is covered with 

 glass and the property is becoming too 

 valuable for greenhouse purposes. No 

 immediate action is contemplated, but 

 sooner or later a new location well out- 

 side the city will be selected from the 

 several that are under consideration— to 

 provide for the need for more glass, with 

 room for the removal of the home place 

 as rebuilding becomes necessary. 



Guy French, who has charge of the 

 carnations of the Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 has welcomed a daughter at his home at 

 Morton Grove. Mrs. French is a sister 

 of Mrs. John Poehlmann, wife of the 

 president of the corporation. 



One of the week's visitors was Dan 

 McEorie, of San Francisco, on his way 

 home from a trip to the Atlantic coast. 

 Mr. McEorie 's firm has recently secured 

 some of the largest landscaping con- 

 tracts ever given out on the Pacific coast, 

 and among their other specialties is the 

 supplying of the so-called Mexican ivy 

 and orchids imported from the Philip- 

 pines. Another visitor was Andrew 

 Peterson, Hoopeston, 111.; F. P. Thurs- 

 ton, manager of the Central Michigan 

 Nursery & Floral Co., Kalamazoo, Mich. 



Bowlins;. 



The Florists' Bowling League inaugu- 

 rated its season September 30 at Ben- 

 singer's alleys, where the four teams will 

 contest each Thursday evening.
