THE LETTER A. 



Under the letter A the following 

 subjects are most exhaustively cov- 

 ered by Mr. Scott in the Florists' Man- 

 ual. The best method of cultivating 

 commercially these thirty-five impor- 

 tant plants is covered fully and in a 

 practical way by a practical man, and 

 there are eighteen illustrations with 

 these articles. The letter A is alone 

 worth the price of the book:

EXPANSION. 



Expansion is the order of the (Jay 

 and among those who have been ex- 

 panding none seem to have expanded 

 in better shape than M. Rice & Co., of 

 Philadelphia, the well known manu- 

 facturers of and dealers in florists' 

 supplies. 



They have moved into their beauti- 

 ful new five-story building at 918 Fil- 

 bert street, which is of an expanded 

 size more adequate to their expanded 



business, and are naturally in a better 

 position than ever to supply the wants 

 of the trade in their line. 



We hear good reports of the goods 

 and business methods of this firm and 

 are pleased to see them forge ahead.

 10,000 people; no opposition and only 20 

 miles from St. Louis, where you can real-
