 reported, in addition to giving those 

 interested an opportunity to see how 

 boiler manufat-turers test their product. 



Poehlmannville Notes. 



There are 400,000 rose plants on the 

 benches. Nearly half have been or are 

 to be replanted with young stock this 

 year. While a gooil many houses al- 

 ready have been plante<l, principally 

 with Russell, Killarney Queen, Hadley 

 an<l Milady, there still are over 200,000 

 2^^j-inch and S^j-inch plants in Plant 

 B, presided over by Adolph Poehlmann. 

 It is agreed that he never has had a 

 better lot of young stock with which 

 to start a new season. 

 - One of P. J. Foley's ideas embodied 

 in the new houses is a bar casting that- 

 must add materially to the strength 

 of the house. Not only is the sashlaar 

 screwed to the ridge, but undertieath 

 is a casting that fits between the two 

 bars and under the ridge, attached by 

 a screw to each. The casting is quickly 

 attached, as it is drilled for the three 

 screws, and the bars and ridgepole also 

 are drilled in the factory. 



Guy French has been making some 

 tests of Evergreen fertilizer, manufac- 

 tured by a corporation of which A. F. 

 Poehlmann is president, on carnations. 

 Choosing two benches of the same va- 

 riety in the same house, he gave one 

 bench nothing but Evergreen from 

 start to finish, while the other had the 

 regular manure treatment. This was 

 tried with several varieties. As they 

 stand today, those that had only the 

 chemical fertilizer look as good as 

 those that had manure, and in one or 

 two cases decidedly better. 



As indicating the call for bed<liug 

 stock, G. C. Anderson says his depart- 

 ment holds two orders for geraniums 

 for May .ielivery totaling 13,000 

 plants. 



After building many monolithic 

 benches of concrete, those now being 

 installed, including the new houses, are 

 of pecky cypress on concrete posts. 



One of last week's visitors was Wil- 

 liam M. Bailey, who was one of the 

 first employees, twenty-seven years 

 ago, when August and Adolph Poehl- 

 mann were just starting in business on 

 leased land about two miles south of 



the present location. Mr. Bailey has 

 spent most of the intervening years in 

 the south. 



Florists in the Movies. 



If the summer season proves dull in 

 the flower business, at least one firm 

 of florists proposes to keep busy during 

 the dog days, for April 24 Harry M. 

 Lubliner and Joseph Trinz closed the 

 lease of Orchestra hall for July, Au- 

 gust and September at a rent of $5,000 

 a month, and will convert it into a 

 high-class moving picture house. The 

 orchestra association will provide the 

 full complement of ticket sellers, ticket 

 takers, ushers, and other house em- 

 ployees, as well as lights. The seating 

 capacity of the theater, 2,577, makes 

 it one of the largest moving picture 

 theaters in the country. 



Lubliner & Trinz recently secured 

 the properties at .S 133-41 Lincoln ave- 

 nue and 2333 and 2343 same street, on 

 each of which will be erected theaters 

 of 1,500 seating^ capacity.
