acres. The range is open for the entire 

 width of 351 feet from wall to wall, 

 except for the 8-foot iron gutter posts. 

 The truss, that strengthens the roof was 

 designed by the company engineer arid 

 is manufactured in the company ma- 

 chine shop. Garland gutters are used, 

 Foley supplied the roof material and 

 the Advance ventilator was bought, but _ 

 the houses are practically built on the " 

 place. There is not a nail in this 

 year's addition, 351x250, everything 

 fastened with screws. 



Adolph Poehlmann has not of late 

 failed to lead every visitor down to 

 the middle of Plant B for a look at a 

 bench of 800 Russell. Earlier in the 

 season 30,000 grafts were taken from 

 these plants, but lately they have come 

 into crop. When one stands on the 

 bench, so as to be able to see over the 

 top of the plants, the sight is one not 

 soon forgotten. It is planned to plant 

 perhaps 20,000 Russell for next season. 



Just by way of a trial, Harry Balsley 

 was given an order, in 1911, for a few 

 thousand 2i^-inch pots that are three 

 inches deep inside. For carrying car- 

 nations from the cutting stage to the 

 field the deep pot proved so good that 

 last season 165,000 were used and for 

 this season 175,000 more were bought. 

 Guy French says the benefit of the 

 extra inch or so of soil below the top 

 of the root ball is apparent even when 

 the plants come to be lifted from the 

 field. 



The plant section now occupies ap- 

 proximately 125,000 square feet of 

 space and steadily expands. For in- 

 stance, C. G. Anderson says that the 

 cyclamens for next Christmas number 

 15,000, a* against 3,000 last year. The 

 increase in begonias is nearly as great, 

 but he already has sold one customer 

 5,000 begonias in 2%-inch pots. Every 

 Easter plant was sold except a couple 

 of dozen hydrangeas that waited for 

 last week's warm sun before blooming. 



Because his shoulder stiffened as the 

 result of the fracture caused by a fall 

 •n the ice last winter, Guy French has 

 been going to town three times a week 

 for an hour's massage. It is painful 

 but helpful. 



April 18 was the nineteenth wedding 

 anniversary of Mr, and Mrs. August 

 Poehlmann. Miss Virginia Pavlowa 

 Poehlmann, whose services are in great 

 demand at social and charitable enter- 

 tainments, danced in the city that 

 afternoon for the fourth time that 

 week. In the evening the anniversary 

 was celebrated at a dinner and the 

 theater.

Various Notes. 



The growers are busy. Eose benches 

 are being replanted and carnations will 

 go into the field with the next spell of 

 warm weather. 



The entire second floor of the build- 

 ing in which the A. L. Bandall Co. is 

 located is to be given over to the cut 

 flower department, the salesroom for 

 florists' supplies which has occupied 

 the rear of the building to be removed 

 to the third floor. Alterations are in 

 progress. Otto Goerisch, who has been 

 in the retail end for the last few 

 months, with Al. Fischer, resumed his 

 former place with the A. L. Randall 

 Co., April 20. 



It has been considered that J. A. 

 Mendel, the west side retailer and for- 

 mer county commissioner, was sure of 

 the democratic nomination for sheriff, 

 but apparently there will be several 

 candidates, Alderman Haderlein being 

 the latest boomed against Mendel.
