Baleigh, N. C. — Spring is opening 

 rapidly and business is excellent. The 

 new downtown store of J. L. O'Quinn 

 & Co. is proving a success. They will 

 replace the wood walls in their green- 

 houses with concrete as soon as the 

 rush is over. 



Pittsburgh, Pa.— The firm of J. M. 

 Phillips' Sons has been incorporated, 

 with a capital of $10,000, to deal in 

 florists' tools and supplies. The in- 

 corporators are: E. Heckman, of Glen- 

 wood; E. H. Phillips, E. V. Phillips and

 Tyrrell, of Homestead.

 find ready sale for the whole of their 

 stock, grown at Wampum, in the city 

 store. Butz Bros, are among those who 

 are looking for desirable locations out- 

 side the city, owing to the rapid rise in 

 values of real estate. Fischer Bros, 

 have sold their plant and purchase all 

 stock needed for the store. 



Hutchinson, Kan. — The Flower Shop, 

 heretofore conducted by Norval N. 

 Kline at 312 North Main street, is now 

 established in elegant new quarters at

 recently came here from Lawrence, 

 There he had charge of a flower store, 

 and the two brothers will unite in the 

 management of the two stores, with 

 headquarters here. 



Springfield, O.— G. Schneider has 

 been a heavy advertiser in the two best 

 local newspapers, often using half and 

 full page spaces. One of his most suc- 

 cessful advertisements showed a bunch 

 of Paper Whites with a picture of "36 

 cents ' worth. " He sold 3,500 on the 

 ad. He says that he grew 150,000 Paper 

 Whites this year and will force 250,000 

 next season, as he waff"all cleaned up 

 by February 10; all but about 10,000 

 were retailed.

 of the greenhouses which have been 

 conducted for nearly five years, under 

 lease, by R. P. Atwell, has sold the 

 four lots on which the greenhouses are 

 situated. The price was said to be 

 $1jO,500. Mr. Atwell 's lease will expire 

 July 1, and it is Mr. Larson's inten- 

 tion to remove the greenhouses then to 

 another site and resume the operation 

 of them himself. He has not decided 

 just where he will go, but will choose 

 one "bf two locations — either on Fifth 

 avenue, south, where he has some lots, 

 or on his farm, one mile northeast of 

 the city limits. In either case he will 

 also have a downtown store.

 with capital stock $43,500, has been in- 

 corporated by Walter B. Davis, T. Otto

 ing, the company is classed as "object, 

 florists. ' '
