Smeth- ers & Son, on East Fourth street, cover over 11,000 square feet of space and are fitted with modern appliances for regulating the heat and conducting the business. There are six green- houses, which were established and built by John A. Smethers in 188S. A few years ago Mr. Smethers asso- ciated with him his son H. K. Smeth- ers; both men are experienced and practical in this work. The flowers and garden produce are grown for both the wholesale and retail trade, and a specialty is made of carnations. These as cultivated here have made the cultivators deservedly famous. The members of the firm are numbered among the best known business men in the county whose success is entirely due to careful management and skill. D. W. DAVIS, BERWICK. The D .W. Davis Greenhouses were established in 1906 by the present pro- prietor, who has conducted them since their inception. The houses are eight in number and have over 26,000 square feet under glass. The office, show and shipping rooms are iarge and fitted with modern appliances, making one of the most modern greenhouses in this part of the state. Here is grown the choicest flowers, particular care being given to carnations and roses, although Mr. Davis does a large business in pot plants, and also raises garden produce during the winter months. In cut flowers he is always prepared to fur- nish stock in anj' quantity and vari- ety, and gives particular attention to the furnishing of decorations for ban- quets, receptions and social functions, and for funeral emblems. His houses are conducted under his personal su- pervision and there are several skilled and practical assistants employed. Mr. Davis has spent 15 years in greenhouse work and understands its every de- tail. CHRYSANTHEMUMS Cultural Notes. The benched plants for cut flower purposes a
