 tent attraction for the passing throng 

 .something spectacular In tho way of

Mary F. Pollock, formerly located 

 on liroad street, now has a store 

 on Beacon avenue around the corner 

 from her former place. Mrs. Pol- 

 lock has the advantage of a very 

 long experience in the retail flow 

 er business, having been many years 

 with the late Robert Hogg on 

 Broadway and afterwards with the 

 late William Appleton, who succeeded 

 Mr. Hogg. The Broadway establish- 

 ment is being successfully conducted 

 by William Appleton's son. Two years 

 ago a serviceable and attractive ofTicc 

 with store front and concrete flower 

 cellar was added to the greenhouse 

 front. This substantial improvement 

 is further amplified in the planting of 

 the grass space on the sidewalk with 

 fuchsias, colens and other beddinc 

 material, which Mr. Appleton well 

 knows how to do.
