years. The snow was about twelve 

 inches deep, and at quite a few places 

 parts of houses were broken in by the 

 weight on the glass, but no great loss 

 of plants has been reported so far. 



The window in the store occupied by 

 the W. L. Rock Flower Co. was most 

 beautiful last week, hyacinths, orchids 

 and lilacs being the chief flowers used 

 for the display, all artistically arranged. 

 This firm 's new store is rapidly nearing 

 completion, and when they once get 

 settled there, they will have plenty of 

 room on a good street. 



Miss Jennie Murray reports a fine 

 business here. Her show window is 

 always in fine trim. 



August Luther, Jr., whose green- 

 houses are located in the east part of 

 this city, has everything full of well 

 grown plants for spring trade. He is 

 now busy repotting his geraniums, of 

 which he has an unusual stock, all his 

 own propagating. S. A. Nutt is his 

 leading variety. He has extra good 

 luck in begonias, having a large collec- 

 tion in fine shape, and seedlings in flats 

 by the thousands. His cinerarias in 

 bud and bloom are fine. Fuchsias are 

 strong and healthy. Two crops of let- 

 tuce were groVn in two houses. He 

 finds a good demand for this at $1.35 

 per bushel. He sells it by weight, eight 

 pounds to a bushel. He delivers all by 

 his auto truck, taking in twenty bushels 

 as the smallest load. He has five green- 

 houses, which he purchased together 

 with about two acres of land from his 

 father, August Luther, who has now 

 retired from active business, having lost 

 his wife a year ago. He is planning a 

 trip to California.
