BUILDING AT ONONDAGA VALLEY.—WILL OF HENRY BURT CONTESTED.—ASTERS SUPERSEDE CARNATIONS.—SWEET PEAS IN DEMAND. P. R. Quinlan & Company have pur- chased the Hurd property at Onondaga Valley, consisting of nearly twenty acres, and will utilize it for the erection of greenhouses. The company will at once spend $10,000, and when the whole plant is completed it will cost in the neighborhood of $30,000, the plan being to eventually remove all the business from West Genesee and Geddes streets to the new site, with the possible exception of a storehouse that will be located near the center of the city.
