SPRINGnELD, MASS. 



C R. Miller made a fine exhibit of 

 geianiums in bloom from Linwood 

 Morgan's conservatories in Long- 

 meadow, last Tuesday, and they were 

 a very fine lot, most of this and last 

 year's importations. They were sold 

 after the exhibit at good prices. This 

 house carries some tine roses, both 

 hybrid and teas, carnations and bulb 

 stuff. Buib stuff sells well this season 

 and is exceptionally good. Business 

 has been good here all the week. This 

 house is selling violets in 3-inch pots, 

 all in bloom, at 25 cents each, and they 

 sell at sight. 



Aitken <5: Son are busy, as usual. 

 They handle daily 2,000 violets, which 

 are very fine. 



The Sweet Pea exhibit will be held 

 in this city July 20 and 21. Prizes 

 will be announced later. H. G.

Trade has been fair, but nothing- 

 large going on. Getting ready for 

 Easter. Harrisii is going to be scarce, 

 the disease playing havoc with lots 

 of growers here. 



Now for drummers — heavens! two 

 and three a day. all well groomed and 

 giving unmistakable evidence of pros- 

 perous times, but the curse of our bus- 

 iness is too many drummers giving 

 us too much credit. Easy to order 

 and stock up, but to pay prompt is an- 

 other story, but war with Spain will 

 probably adjust things, if not the 

 Klondike. S. 



SAN FKANCISCO. CAL.— The early 

 fruit section of California, from where 

 most of the early cherries, apricots 

 and peaches are sent east in April and 

 May, was visited by a disastrous frost 

 March 17. The loss will reach into 

 the millions.
