Bristol, Conn. — J. Ernest Andrew and 

 H. W. Andrew have opened a flower 

 store in the Curtiss building, next to 

 the Bristol National Bank. They will 

 handle seeds and nursery stock as well 

 as flowers. J. E. Andrew will be the 

 active manager. The firm name will 

 be Andrew Bros. 



Glean, N. Y. — Elmer Eawlings finds 

 lupines a most satisfactory crop. He 

 ^rows them naturally, leaving all the 

 branches to bloom, where sprays are 

 wanted for local retail design work. 

 For long, fancy spikes he disbuds and 

 grows to one stem just as with mums. 

 In this way they can be planted three 

 or four inches apart. He feeds with 

 bone meal. 



Lenox, Mass. — Frank Eisner, for five 

 years in charge of the Locustwood 

 Greenhouses, on Col. W. L. Brown's es- 

 tate at Great Barrington, and later in 

 charge of those at Brookside, has taken 

 a position at the Holmes Road Green- 

 houses, near this city. 



Oyster Bay, N. Y. — A local newspaper 

 states that the florists and gardeners of 

 the neighborhood are organizing a so- 

 ciety, to be known as the Oyster Bay 

 Horticultural Society. Among those 

 actively interested in the formation 

 of the new club are John T. Ingram, 

 James Duthie and John Miller, and the 

 newspaper adds that "when such lead- 

 ing florists get together, every one 

 knows there'll be something doing." 



Soutbbridge, Mass. — Geo. C. Butler 

 has erected another greenhouse, 25x100. 

 A. H. Faxon has also built an addition. 



Laramie, Wyo. — L. B. Westholder, 

 manager of the downtown store of the 

 Garwood Floral Co., also undertook the 

 management of the greenhouses of the 

 Overland Gardens Co., February 1, and 

 restocked them with 10,000 plants. Mr. 

 Westholder thinks that the growers in 

 this part of the far west have a con- 

 siderable advantage as far as the 

 climate is concerned, as there is an 

 average of twenty-five days of sunshine 

 here per month. "Mildew and other 

 such diseases of stock are almost un- 

 known here," he says, "but we have 

 many high winds."
