As usual, and partirularly ilining 

 Easter week. I found the seuial Mr. 

 Ullrich more than ordinarily busy. 

 Both his wholesale and retail trade 

 have fully kept pace with the times, 

 having increased to an extent surpass- 

 ing his own expectations. While we 

 were chatting the letter carrier put in 

 his appearance, depositing a stack of 

 letters on the desk. "Be sure to send 

 me so many roses." "May I depend 

 on so man.y carnations?" "Won't you 

 please let me have so many of one 

 thing, and that many of another?" 

 Such was the nature of that after- 

 noon mail — a week before Easter. 



A stroll through the houses sufficed 

 to convince me that enough stock was 

 in sight to go the rounds. In this re- 

 spect Mr. Ullrich is especially fortu- 

 nate; not a bench but what showed a 

 full crop in roses, as well as carna- 

 tions. As to bulbous stock, it fairly 

 took my eyes as well as my breath. 



In my travels I often hear com- 

 plaints about Asparagus plumosus 

 nanus seed being an utter failure. 

 "The seed will not come up." I am 

 often told by one florist or another, 

 "and I pitched out the box." Don't 

 "pitch" out the box, brother florist, 

 says Mr. Ullrich, but bide your time. 

 The seed, if fresh, is bound to come 

 up some time; if soaked before sow- 

 ing, it is sure to make rapid growth. 

 Last spring Mr. Ullrich sowed 4.000 

 seeds, which remained dormant for al- 

 most a year before they began to 

 come up. To-day the boxes look as 

 green and as fine as a well kept lawn 

 and Mr. Ullrich will have 4,000 addi- 

 tional seedlings to the lot of this year's 

 sowing I soaked, by the way, before 

 put in the soil). S.
