THE ZIEGLER SALE. 



F. L. Ziegler who has for several 

 years conducted a seed and florist 

 business at No. 18 Broadway, also dur- 

 ing the summer months at 13S Belle- 

 vue avenue, Newport, R. I., recently 

 became bankrupt and the contents of 

 both stores were sold at public auction 

 March 6th. The seeds were arranged 

 in large lots and if good went very 

 cheap, the peas and beans in many 

 cases not averaging two cents per 

 quart. The plants which were mostly 

 Kentias, ferns and aspidistras, probab- 

 ly brought their value. Mr. Ziegler 

 will be succeeded in the flower busi- 

 ness at the Broadway store by C. Os-
