Leon's hikes dividend / Scotts doubles dividend

Canadian furniture and electronics retailer Leons (LNF) has raised it's dividend by 29% to $0.09 per share.  The raise came on  a nice earnings announcement where Leon's beat expectations quite handily growing their earnings per share 42% from last year.

US Lawn & Garden manufacturer Scotts Miracle Gro (SMG) doubled it's dividend on the back of a very solid earnings report.  Scotts reported an earnings increase of 12.5% versus the same quarter last year.  This news beat expectations and propelled the share price higher.

Owning both stocks, I've been having good luck with dividends lately...
