FINDLAY, O. 



S. J. McMichael has placed the man- 

 agement of his greenhouse establish- 

 ment in the hands of Arthur Marshall, 

 formerly of Columbus Grove. Mr. Mc- 

 Michael has had so many irons in the 

 fire that he has been unable to look 

 after all of them the way he would like, 

 and he also feels that lightening his 

 labors will be of advantage to his 

 health. His specialty is vegetable plants 

 and preparations are being made for 

 growing an immense quantity for the 

 approaching season. Last year he was 

 fully 300,000 short in filling his orders. 

 Eighty bushels of sweet potatoes will 

 be put down for plants, the shipping 

 season for which starts May 1. Tomato 

 plants will be grown by the hundreds 

 of thousands from seed saved on the 

 place. Peppers, eggplants, celery, cauli- 

 flower, cabbage and aster plants also 

 are specialties. 



Mr. McMichael also is known as the 

 horseradish king, for he has been grow- 

 ing the roots and bottling the product 

 for many years. He says growing horse- 

 radish roots for market is a profitable 

 side line for anyone with the necessary 

 ground. One acre of land would yield 

 $250 worth of salable roots in one year 

 if set six inches apart in the rows, with 

 the rows two and one-half or three feet 

 apart. He says the soil should be 

 sandy and the cultivation the same as 

 for potatoes. Horseradish roots now 

 are selling at 6 cents to 9 cents per 

 pound, wholesale. 



Ottawa, Kan. — B. Romstedt, of the 

 Eomstedt Greenhouses, has completed 

 two new houses, each 18x110, and is 

 planting them to lettuce. 



Racine, Wis. — John Bourgaise, pro- 

 prietor of the North Side Greenhouses, 

 has announced his candidacy for alder- 

 man of the Seventh ward on the Re- 

 publican ticket. 



Jamestown, N. D. — Manager A. K. 

 Wheeler, of the Wheeler Floral Co., has 

 purchased the interests of his partner, 

 E. A. Williams, and will continue the 

 business alone. In spite of a fire and 

 other misfortunes, Mr. Wheeler has 

 built up a prosperous trade.

Pink 

 Boston Market 



PENNSYLVANIA 



A seedlinjr of Boston Market and Harlowarden that has been under test for the past five years 

 and which has shown up so well under all conditions that I now feel ronfldent it is one of the best 

 commercial varieties and have pleasure in offering' it for the first time for spring delivery 1911. 



The color is a shade lighter pi Ilk than Lawson; form high built, much like Boston Market ; stem 

 long and graceful ; healthy grower; blooms freely from November all through the season. 



This new variety I am confident will prove a money-maker — a pink Boston Market— only much 

 larger and better and destined to be one of the most popular commercial varieties. 



Come and see it growing. I guarantee same to be in perfei t health. $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000
