Shepardsville, Mich. — Claud L. Going, 

 of this town, has completed the erection 

 of his greenhouse on East Grand Eiver 

 street, in Williamston, Mich. He ex- 

 pects to remain in Shepardsville, how- 

 ever, until spring. 



Valparaiso, Ind. — A. Londenberg & 

 Son are getting ready to build three 

 new houses, 34x120, early in the spring. 

 They have at present about 10,000 

 feet of glass here, and about 12,000 

 feet at their place at Hobart, Ind. 



Brampton, Ont. — Mark Henderson, 

 proprietor of the greenhouses at the 

 south end of the town, has been ap- 

 proached by many who wish to see him 

 elected on this year's town council, 

 and he probably will allow himself to 

 be nominated, 



Oshkosh, Wis. — Fugleberg & Flister 

 have no complaint to make with re- 

 gard to the amount of business, but 

 they have had some diflSculty recently 

 in obtaining the needed stock. The 

 output of their greenhouses is all sold 

 in the local market and is not nearly 

 sufficient to meet the demand. 



Portland, Me.— Dyer's, Inc., will 

 shortly move across the street, where 

 a building is being remodeled to give 

 more than twice the present frontage 

 and other improved facilities. The 

 president of the corporation is Henry 

 G. Beyer, Jr., and the treasurer is Al- 

 bert W. Dyer, who has been many 

 years in the business. 



Buffalo, N. Y.— The Dwelle-Kaiser 

 Co. has bought the plant of the Jewett 

 Eefrigerator Co., which is to be mate- 

 rially improved and made into an up- 

 to-date jobbing and manufacturing 

 warehouse for the glass and paint busi- 

 ness. It will afford the company 

 greatly increased space and an oppor- 

 tunity for the extension of its business. 



Brookings, S. D.— N. E. Hansen, of 

 this city, who is secretary of the 

 South Dakota State Horticultural So- 

 ciety, announces that the twenty- 

 fourth annual meeting of the society 

 will be held in Eedfield, S. D., January 

 21 to 23, 1913. He states that a school 

 of practical instruction in fruit tree 

 propagation and pruning will be a 

 part of the daily program. Mr. Hansen 

 is connected with the South Dakota 

 Experiment Station. 



Phoenix, Ariz.— Eichard Altman, who 

 for the last year has had charge of the 

 flower department in Hamburger's, 

 store, Los Angeles, has opened a flower 

 store on Center street, opposite the 

 postoffice, in this city. The stock to be 

 handled by him will be shipped from 

 Los Angeles. A short time ago, when 

 the Los Angeles Times celebrated the 

 opening of its new building, Mr. Alt- 

 man had charge of the decorations. He 

 has had more than twenty years' expe- 

 rience in the trade. 



Henderson, Minn. — Miss Mathilda 

 Kemp is having a large greenhouse 

 erected. 



Rapine, Wis. — The Flower Shop is 

 the name of a new store opened by 

 Joe Eehl, at 617 Main street, just 

 above the postoffice. The store will be 

 in charge of C. L. Achenbach, from 

 Chicago. 



Buffalo, N. Y.— W. J. Smith, on East 

 street, has just completed a new store 

 which is the finest in the district, if 

 not as good as any in the city. Mr. 

 Smith believes in going ahead of the 

 community and letting the community 

 catch up with him. 



Dubuque, la. — ^Fred UUman, until re- 

 cently in business at Strawberry Point, 

 la., is now proprietor of the green- 

 houses formerly conducted here by 

 G. A. Heyne. Mr. UUman has also re- 

 moved his Strawberry Point green- 

 houses to this city and will rebuild 

 them in connection with the Heyne 

 houses.
