Business has been splendid fojr the 

 last year and is still keeping up well, 

 but death has visited each of the three 

 florists within a little more than a year. 

 Mrs. Hill was called away in January, 

 1912. November 11, 1912, Frank 

 Hewitt passed into his rest, after a 

 painful illness. January 11, 1913, 

 James Whitten died. Mr. Whitten's 

 sister sold the business and retired. 

 Mrs. Hewitt, however, will continue 

 her business, and expects to build more 

 greenhouses in the coming summer. 



Everything is looking promising. 

 We have had a mild winter so far, but 

 with much cloudy weather. I think 

 the lowest outside temperature was 16 

 degrees above zero, and that only once 

 this winter. 



' I had written thus far, February 

 26, when I saw a storm coming and 

 soon it looked as if the greenhouses 

 and everything in them would be a 

 total wreck. It was the worst hail 

 storm we have had in years. About 

 200 panes of glass were broken in 

 Mrs. Frank Hewitt's greenhouses and 

 quite a number of plants were dam- 

 aged. It is impossible to say at pres- 

 ent what the damage to the fruit crop 

 will be, as the storm seemed to skip 

 some places. H.

.7. B. MeClintock is finishing his latest 

 range in concrete. These are on the 

 tidge and furrow plan and considered 

 the best suited for bedding stock, which 

 is raised in great numbers. Judging by 

 the size of the excellent Easter stock, 

 Dig business is expected. 



Our New Lobelia 



MRS. AUQ. SWANSON 



Named In honor of the wife of Mr. 



Aug. Swanson, 23 years a florist in 



St. Paul, now retired. This lobelia 



is a sport from Bedding: Queen, which 



we found among our seedlings in 



1911. It Is a wonderful Improvement 



on that best of lobelias. The flower 



is exceedingly large and free bloom- 

 ing. It has % more white in it than 



any other lobelia we have ever seen. 



It is a plant we assure you will sell 



better than any plant you have on 



your place. We exhibited plants and 



four vases of flowers at the St. Paul, 



Minn., Show, Nov., 1912, and before 



we could remove them next morning 



after the show, every bit of the cut 



stuff and four plants were stolen. So, 

 -' you see, they "like it all right. The 

 upper picture is Bedding Queen and the lower Mrs. Aug. Swanson. The cut is a photo 

 of two 3-in. pots, laid on the side. The large white eye does not show on the picture, 

 as deep blue and white never show up properly In a photo. Large plants with plenty 

 of cuttings on them, 75c per doz., $6.00 per 100, |.'>0.00 per 1000. Delivered free of charge.

This variegated carnation, sent out by Mr. 

 Peter Fisiier last season, is tlie finest varie- 

 gated variety, and one off tiie very best car- 

 nations off any coior, ever sent out. 



It has immediately attained a commanding posi- 

 tion among the very choicest sorts, and will add to 

 Mr. Fisher's already enyiable list of introductions. 

 It is indispensable. 



It is a very early and free bloomer, matures 

 quickly, making very perfect flowers of the largest 

 size on long stems; does not split the calyx.
