COENINO, N. Y. 



A profit of $5.60 on vegetable plants 

 grown in a hotbed in a corner of his 

 garden six years ago started W. E. 

 .Johnson, proprietor of Johnson's North- 

 side Greenhouses, in this' line. A lean- 

 to built that year and a small green- 

 house erected the following year have 

 been followed by the erection of a 

 house, 16 X 110, each of the last three 

 years, and there are plans being made 

 for another addition this summer, for 

 carnationsu Now a full line of cut 

 flowers and bedding and pot plants are 

 grown. Able assistance is given in the 

 greenhouses by Mrs. Johnson and a 

 daughter. The constant enlargement of 

 the business has made necessary the 

 ])urchase of more land, and recently an 

 automobile was added to the equip- 

 ment.

The Market. 



The market during the last week has 

 held up well, and business still shows 

 little of the depression which is usually 

 felt directly after a holiday. Roses 

 continue to be plentiful, and the stock 

 is in fine shape. Sales are quite heavy 

 in this stock and little tronble is being 

 experienced in keeping the market 

 cleaned up. Carnations are not so 

 plentiful as they have been for some 

 time past, but the stock is good and is 

 bringing good prices. The demand is 

 big and the supply is hardly adequate. 



Violets are getting poorer every day 

 and it will not be a great while until 

 they will be out of the market en- 

 tirely. Sweet peas are still in large 

 supply and the stock is fine. The But- 

 terfly type is selling exceptionally well 

 and is bringing prices that are better 

 than the average. 



Bulbous stock in general is arriving 

 in good shape and the supply of most 

 varieties is being easily disposed of. 

 Easter lilies and callas are a drug on 

 the market just now, but it is antici- 

 pated that this condition will not last, 

 as the Easter stock is just about past. 

 Freesia is still coming in, but the stockj 

 is poor and the sale is small. O 



There have been a number of spring 

 openings lately that have used up a 

 great deal of stock. They have helped 

 the sale of cheap roses especially, al- 

 though carnations and other stock have 

 played a prominent part in the decora- 

 tions. 



Various Notes. 



Holton & Hunkel Co. reports that 

 Mrs. Charles Russell, th«rTle^-T^d rose, 

 is making a hit witythe company's 

 trade. It is seldom that a customer 

 praises stock he receives, but a number 

 of most gratifying letters on the qual- 

 ity of this rose have been received. 

 The company is cutting a large crop of 

 Killarney and White Killarney, which 

 are in fine shape. An auto truck is be- 

 ing tried out at the plant at Brown 

 Deer, Wis., and so far it seems quite 

 satisfactory. 



W. C. Zimmermann, the enterprising 

 florist at Fifth street and Grand ave- 

 nue, has just purchased a new Reo 

 pleasure car. He has had a delivery 

 truck for a long time. 



The G. H. Hunkel Co. reports that 

 business has come with a rush, and the 

 force is busy trying to keep up with

 work right." Can you afford to stand this Joss an- 

 other winter? Right now is a good time to look into this. We
