NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



It seems to me that your report of 

 the Easter trade in this city in your 

 issue of April 3 needs some correction. 



My observation was that decidedly the 

 finest display was made by one of our 

 prominent Horists, who opened a large 

 store in the center of the city for Easter 

 week. He had three large windows and 

 an immense floor space and there was 

 room for two hundred people to walk 

 about among the plants. The windows 

 were each arranged differently and were 

 certainly the most elaborate ever seen 

 in this city. 



The displays made by those mentioned 

 by X. Y. Z. were very fine, but they 

 could hardly be so effective as the one 

 I refer to, where so much more room 

 was available. I am forced to the con- 

 clusion that X. Y. Z. did not see the 

 largest and finest Easter display in 

 town, especially as he says there was 

 plenty left over Sunday, whereas at the 

 store I mention there was nothing left 

 but a half-dozen spiraeas and a few 

 geraniums. And certainly he would not 

 compare a display in a 20-ft. store with 

 one in a store with 100 feet frontage 

 and a depth of 125 feet. I venture to 

 say that the windows alone of this store 

 contained more stock than any other 

 two florists had in their entire stores. 

 I know that X. Y. Z. will be gratified to 

 learn that New Bedord had something 

 better than he knew of. ' F. P. 



DENVER. COLO. 



The spring flower show of the Flor- 

 ists' Club in City Park was opened by 

 a May-pole dance by the children of 

 one of the local schools, and the dance 

 was witnessed by about 2,000 parents 

 and friends. 



The exhibition was a fine display and 

 reflected much credit upon the club, in 

 spite of an accident that threatened to 

 spoil the show altogether. The exhi- 

 bition was held in a large canvas tent 

 in the park, and the day before the 

 opening, while the florists were arrang- 

 ing their groups of plants, a gale of 

 wind tore the canvas to pieces. But a 

 force of men was put to work at once 

 and the damage repaired in time for 

 the opening. 



The tent was lighted by incandescent 

 lights incased in red tissue-paper shades.
