Davenport, la.—The Davis Floral Co., which is a separate corporation from the J. W. Davis Co., but allied with it, is building a range of four Lord & Burnham houses each 40x300, to be devoted to cut flowers and pot plants. The location is just across the street from the big J. W. Davis plant, where cucumbers and tomatoes are the prin- cipal crops. Alvin, Tex.—A new firm has been organized here, under the name of the Alvin Jasmine & Floral Co. The pro- prietors are W. L. Heller, of this place, and S. Lomanitz, of Mexico City. The business will be under the direct charge of Mr. Heller, who in 1910 was man- ager and junior member of Stevens & Heller, in this town. Mr. Heller says his firm probably has the largest one- block jasmine farm in the country, and the bushes are all young, vigorous and thrifty. From present indications, he says, the crop will be heavy and wiU perhaps be from eight to twelve days early. Indiana, Pa.—Last fall the Indiana Floral Co., as reported in The Eeview at the time, purchased eight acres of ground extending alongside the tracks of the street railway, and proceeded to erect a range of greenhouses there, for the growing of both flowers and vege- tables. Two of the greenhouses, each 34x150, have been completed and stocked. A third greenhouse, to be erected in the near future, will be used for roses. The greater part of the land will be devoted to truck gardening, but the space between the greenhouses and the tracks will be beautifully laid out in lawns and flower beds. The firm is also planning to install a Skinner irri- gation system. Wyomissing, Pa.—Ferdinand E. Heck, who f
