A. Arnold has secured a stall in 

 the city market house and he is now 

 there attending to the shop daily. He 

 has just completed one more large 

 greenhouse and will build two others 

 this summer. His spring stock is in 

 fine condition, the geraniums especially. 

 His cyclamen are extra fine this year, 

 and he has had no trouble in disposing 

 of them. He also has a large stock 

 of vinca vines, and roses in pots for 

 spring sales are coming on in good 

 shape. He is the heaviest grower in 

 this line in or about this market. 



Samuel Murray has been taking extra 

 pains to fix his show window for the 

 last two weeks. The old saying is that 

 "'competition is the life of trade," 

 Arthur Newall has moved up close to 

 him and the two shops now make the 

 city block quite attractive. 



Wm. Foith is cutting sweet peas by 



the thousands. The prices are rather 

 low, $4 per thousand being the mini- 

 mum. W. H. H.

Roger Newton Perry, though only 

 18 years of age, is now fully embarked 

 in the florists' trade at 82 Park ave- 

 nue, after rather a notable career as a 

 young amateur. Being ordered by his 

 physician to live outdoors, he has had 

 his garden and flowers since he was 8 

 years old. In 1905, at the age of 11, 

 he began exhibiting at the shows of 

 the Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety, in Boston, where he won many 

 first prizes. In 1909 he entered the 

 children's contest organized by Double- 

 day, Page & Co. through the Garden 

 Magazine, taking first prizes the last 

 three years. In the Garden Magazine 



of February, 1911, appeared an article 

 which was written by him and which 

 summed up his nine years' experience 

 in garden work. In 1908 he became a 

 member of the Worcester Horticultural 

 Society, where he had exhibited with 

 children since 1904. Last fall he be- 

 gan the erection of a greenhouse, do- 

 ing most of the work with his own 

 hands, but necessarily calling in a little 

 outside help. This greenhouse, 20x50, 

 was finished in January. 



Cumberland, Md.— Fred M. Ruppert, 

 who embarked in the flower, seed and 

 plant business two years ago, by pur- 

 chasing the stock and retail trade of 

 .1. A. Bopp, at 46 North Center street, 

 has a handsome, well stocked store and 

 a rapidly increasing patronage. Before 

 starting on his own account, he had 

 worked ten years for Mr. Bopp.
