Adonis much lias already been .said and 

 ■nriten, but tongue and pen are scarcely 

 capable of describing the glory of color 

 and growth and size. Lorna was the, 

 best of the whites and doubtless is one 

 of the varieties that have come to stay. 



At K. T. Graves' plant the main fea- 

 ture is Dorothy, and well worthy is this 

 carnation of being the main feature 

 anywhere. At present it was a trifle 

 ofE crop, but judging from the number 

 of cuttings that have been taken off this 

 was to be expected. Mr. Graves said 

 that the demand for cuttings was much 

 larger than the supply, which speaks well 

 of this variety. Their new prize win- 

 ner, Pres. McKinley, had no flowers, but 

 from the plants I could tell it had a fine 

 growth and was a very healthy variety. 



At Fulle Bros., and (Chessman & Schcp- 

 man I found things in fine shape for 

 Easter and all were predicting a very 

 lively trade. C. J. Ohmer. 



NOT UNREASONABLE. 



A young man with an impediment in 

 his speech went to a stammerers' insti- 

 tute and asked for a cour.se of treatment. 

 The professor, who, according to the 

 Independent, had an eye to the main 

 chance, asked him if he wanted a full or 

 a partial course. 



"A p-p-partial c-ccoiirse." 



"How much of a partial course? " 



''Enough s-so that wh-when I go to a 



f-f-fl-florist's and ask for a c-c-c-ehr-chry- 



s-s-anth- (whistle here) em-mum, the 



Ih-thing won't w-wilt b-before I g-get it." 



Please mail us a report of your Eas- 

 ter trade on Monday and oblige.
