covering and whose shipping business
has been extended everywhere in the
southwest within a radius of 300
miles Of Ell Paso. The business is
that of the Potter Floral & COnfee-
tionery Company, and the story OF
its growth Is one of steady and con-
sistent development from very mod
est beginnings.
H L. Potter, sole owner of this
company, has been an FL Paso bust
ness man for the past fourteen years,
and, strangely enough, his floral and
confectionery businesses were at the
first mere side lines carried with q
pharmacy which Mr.. Potter conduct
ed in the Plaza block. When the
contract was let for the Mills build
ing, Mr.. Potter took a lease on the
room which he now occupies. At
first all the flowers handled BY the
Potter company were shipped in. As
the business grew in volume, how

over, he felt that the choicest of flowers
could be grown right here and that local
cultivation of floweTing plants would
assist materially in the movement look
ing toward an ~El Paso beautiful"
Mr.. Potter's first venture into flora
culture was in little lean-tO erected
at the rear of his residence at 702
Kansas street, where he personally
tended his modest assortment of plants.
The experiment was most successful,
however and, although many difficult
ties were encountered, the size Of the
greenhouse was materially increased
from year TO year At the present time
the Potter plant IS located on a three
acre property IN the Val Verde addi-
ton, Just outside the city limits. there
are five large greenhouses, and sew
eral others in course Of erection.
The amount of growing stock car
rled may perhaps be best suggested by
the statement that there are 10. 900
carnauOn plants alone, all bearing the
finest Of blooms, while all other desir-
able flowers are also represented. Prac-

company are grown right here in FL
