The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Dbcbmbbb 1, 1910. 



SPRINGFIELD, O. 



The Keeser Plant Co. was incorpo- 

 rated November 23, under the laws of 

 Ohio, to succeed the partnership here- 

 tofore existing under the name of 

 Reeser & Youngstrand. Charles 0. 

 Youngstrand, who has been associated 

 with Mr. Eeeser for the last two years, 

 will go to Glen View, 111., where he will 

 engage in landscape gardening. The 

 new company will have a capital stock 

 of $12,000, the officers being Harry C. 

 Reeser, president; C. A. Schafer, vice- 

 president; Arthur J. Todd, secretary, 

 and J. F. Businger, treasurer, who, with 

 John M. Good and Jonathan S. Kitchen, 

 form the board of directors. Five acres 

 of land at the corner of Johnson ave- 

 nue and Clay street are owned by the 

 company, on which are four modern 

 greenhouses, each 20xl20, making a 

 glass area of 12,500 square feet, in ad- 

 dition to which 200 hotbed sashes are 

 worked. The business will be strictly 

 a wholesale one, and no local retail 

 trade or mail order retail catalogue 

 business will be sought. A general line 

 of plants for the wholesale trade will 

 be grown, including salvias, coleus, 

 cyclamens, primroses, hydrangeas, ferns, 

 poinsettias, bedding plants, etc. Mr. 

 Reeser will be in charge of the growing 

 and selling departments and, with his 

 lifelong experience as a practical florist, 

 together with the backing of ample 

 •capital and a progressive board of di- 

 rectors, will certainly make an excellent 

 showing in due time. 



At the November meeting of the 

 Springfield Florists' Club a table of 

 chrysanthemums was exhibited by the 

 veteran local florist, Clinton L. Reese, 

 the collection including splendid blooms 

 of several rare varieties which were 

 greatly admired by all members. 



The older floral concerns have begun 

 a gradual process of rebuilding their 

 houses, the life of structures on wood 

 posts and gutters appearing to be about 

 seventeen years. The Good & R«ese 

 Co. has rebuilt this fall three 20x100- 

 foot houses, and the Schmidt & Botley 

 Co. four 20xl00-foot houses. The lat- 

 ter are constructed with angle gutters 

 placed about seven feet above the 

 ground. Ge Dale. 



liowellville, O. — R. J. Erskine & Son, 

 who conduct greenhouses here, recently 

 applied to the secretary of state for let- 

 ters of incorporation, and the capitali- 

 zation was placed at $15,000. Mr. 

 Erskine states that the properties of 

 the concern are valued at $11,000, and 

 that $4,000 will go into treasury stock, 

 to be used for the extension of the busi- 

 ness later, if desired. The company 

 owns nine acres and has one-half acre 

 under glass.
