NEWS NOTES 



••• 



Penn Yan, N. Y. — Peter Curran has 

 moved his business from 109 Main 

 street to 116 Elm street, the change be- 

 ing necessitated by increased business 

 and the need of larger quarters. 



Omaha, Neb. — The city council has 

 voted to accept the Joslyn greenhouse 

 and costly collection of plants, the gift 

 of George A. Joslyn, and has made 

 provision to furnish the $5,000 that 

 will be necessary to remove and recon- 

 struct the greenhouse at the city park. 

 Mrs. Joslyn offered to give an addi- 

 tional $1,000 to make the transfer, in 

 view of the fact that the city park 

 commissioners had difficulty in securing 

 the needed funds. 



Medina, N. Y. — White Bros, report 

 good business in their retail store, 

 which they opened in February. The 

 Mothers' day sale of carnations was 

 almost equal to that of Easter. They 

 are now busy with Decoration day 

 preparations, with 20,000 geraniums and 

 all kinds of bedding plans. They have 

 90,000 young carnation plants, 60,000 

 already having seen set in the field. 

 Their crop of carnations will hold good 

 throughout the month. 



Carthage, Mo. — One of the four 

 greenhouses of Stephen Hyde, operat- 

 ing the Fairview Greenhouses, each 30x 

 300 feet, was demolished May 5 by a 

 miniature cyclone. The damage 

 amounted to between $3,000 and $4,000. 

 The four houses were connected, with- 

 out partition walls, and when the cy- 

 clone struck, it ripped out one house 

 from between the others and, in addi- 

 tion to wrecking it and destroying the 

 lettuce beds, also damaged the adjoin- 

 ing houses. 



Worcester, Mass. — H. F. A. Lange 

 took principal honors for cut flowers 

 at the exhibition of the Worcester 

 County Horticultural Society in Hor- 

 ticultural hall, May 8. He won first 

 prize for a t^ble decoration and four 

 other first prizes, besides a special 

 prize for a new variety of geranium, 

 which he has named after his daugh- 

 ter. Miss Helen Lange. Other prizes 

 were won by Miss Lucy Coulson, A. W. 

 Hixon, Mrs. F. G. Forbes and Walter 

 D. Ross. The society will give an- 

 other exhibition June 5.
