 Belleville, for $500 damages. Mr. Hay 

 formerly was a retail florist in St. 

 Louis. 



Tampa, Fla. — The Gasparilla festivi- 

 ties brought a big harvest to the florists 

 here. The Knull Floral Co. had the 

 best day in its three years' existence 

 on the day of the coronation ball. The 

 stock shipped from Philadelphia by the 

 Leo Niessen Co. arrived in fine condi- 

 tion, and in addition to the large stock 

 of roses, orchids and violets from this 

 source, locally grown violets, gardenias, 

 valley and miscellaneous stock were dis- 

 posed of at good prices. 



Syracuse, N. Y. — The Pierce-Christian 

 Co. has been incorporated to do a gen- 

 eral florists' business, with a oapitali- 

 zation of $10,000. The incorporators 

 are Harold S. Pierce, Harold H. Will 

 and Thomas J. Christian. 



Medina, N. Y. — Lee O. Smith, a for- 

 mer employee of White Bros., of 

 Gasport, is starting in business here on 

 his own account, intending to grow cut 

 flowers for the Buffalo market. He 

 has placed an order with the Moninger 

 Co., Chicago, for material for three 

 houses, each 27x300 feet. 



Hartford, Conn. — At the February 

 meeting of the Connecticut Horticul- 

 tural Society certificates were awarded 

 Peter Fisher, of Ellis, Mass., for two 

 ,va8es of Gprgeous; Theodore Staudt, of 

 Rockville, for new varieties of carna- 

 tions; Patten & Co., of Tewksbury, 

 Mass., for Princess Dagmar, and A. N. 

 Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, for carna- 

 tions and roses. 



Batavia, Dl. — John Geiss, who took 

 over the greenhouses and other prop- 

 erty of the late George H. Serviss at 

 Walnut and Harrison streets, which 

 were sold at auction some months ago, 

 has leased the entire plant, including 

 greenhouses, ground and buildings, for 

 a long term to the officers of Moose- 

 heart, a big lodge institution, which 

 will make use of the establishment in 

 connection with its school as well as for 

 commercial purposes. 



Minneapolis, Minn. — Having acquired 

 the entire city block on part of which 

 the store stands, the L. S. Donald- 

 son Co. will expand by taking in the 

 adjoining buildings. The store next 

 door on Nicollet avenue will be given 

 to William Desmond for the florists' 

 department. This will not only afford 

 greatly increased space for the display 

 of stock and for selling, but it will per- 

 mit the installation of an equipment in 

 keeping with the high class flower busi- 

 ness that is being done. 



Cudahy, Wis. — The management of 

 the new commercial greenhouse estab- 

 lishment to be started here by Patrick 

 Cudahy, the Chicago packer, has been 

 placed in the hands of G. W. Scott, who 

 formerly was at O. C. Barber's Anna 

 Dean Farm at Barberton, O. Mr. Cud- 

 ahy will grow roses for the Milwaukee 

 market, starting with four Moninger 

 iron-frame houses, each 57x320. Ar- 

 rangements have been made for Gust 

 Rusch to handle the output, Milwaukee 

 being but nine miles distant by motor.
