Alton, HI.—George Madsen, proprie- tor of the Alton Floral Co., has bought from O. B. Kynders the 10-acre tract on which his greenhouses and dwelling are situated. Mr. Madsen intends building another greenhouse shortly. Asheville, N. C.—Allison's flower store, adjoining Allison's drug store, was opened November 24 to the public, with music, floral souvenirs, etc. Allison's drug store has had a flower department for several years, and the business has grown to such an extent that now a separate store is required to handle it. Bochester, Minn.—The recently in- corporated E. Bragg Co. has purchased the business, supplies and fixtures of the E. L. Lyman Co. The new retail store in the west end, opposite St. Mary's hospital, will be opened before Christmas. The addition of this store and the enlarging of the company's greenhouses make the facilities of this concern for handling the hospital trade better than ever. Chlttenango, N. Y.—A. R. Ellis has just built a range of three houses, which are twice as large as his other two houses. Business, he reports, is better than ever this year. He recently executed a "gates ajar" design which was the largest piece he ever made, being nearly as high as himself. As superintendent of Oakwoods cemetery, which his houses adjoin, Mr. Ellis is in a position to gather in a large trade. Springfield, lU.—Since Wm. Hem- breiker and lies Cole bought the A. C. Canfield place they have made many improvements. A new heating system has been put in, beginning with a new boiler shed and three new eighty-five horse-power boilers. An up-to-date of- fice and salesroom has been opened in connection with the greenhouses, Dora F. Meredith being in charge. Trade has responded promptly and a good business is being done.
