ATLANTA, OA. 



A severe hail storm visited Atlanta 

 March 7 and did great damage to glass 

 in all parts of the city and vicinity. 

 The hail was impartial and pelted every 

 range, whether large or small. The 

 small growers felt the misfortune more 

 severely than the large establishments, 

 even though they lost less glass. The 

 plants timed for Easter suffered prac- 

 tically no injury and Easter will find 

 everybody there with the goods, provi- 

 dence and hail permitting. As a cold 

 wave followed the storm, there was 

 some tall hustling done to replace the 

 broken glass. Prices on glass soared 

 immediately and the coal man came in 

 for his share of the fun. 



All agreed that this business of being 

 targets for hailstones is not at all 

 pleasant, but everybody seemed to be 

 optimistic and faced the music with 

 good grace. 



The Westview Floral Co. perhaps 

 suffered the most. This concern's loss 

 was estimated at about $1,500. Wach- 

 endorff Bros, lost 500 panes of glass, 

 and C. A. Britton is said to have lost 

 one-half of his glass. T. C. and J. C. 

 Coussey, Victor Lambert, W. A. Gres- 

 ham and C. A. Dahl reported consider- 

 able broken glass. The Alto-Vista Flo- 

 ral Co. had about 1,500 panes broken by 

 the storm. Mr. Witherspoon, who had 

 just finished a new house, lost one-third 

 of his glass. 



Flowers are plentiful and business 

 is normal. Blooming plants sell readily 

 and we are expecting a big spring sea- 

 son. M, B. W. 



J[T WE CORDIALLY INVITE ALL OUR FRIENDS who 

 ^^ are coming to Philadelphia to the National Flower 

 Show, to be held March 25 to April 2, to be our visitors. 

 We will have an exhibit of our Craig Quality plant special- 

 ties at Convention Hall, Broad Street and Allegheny Ave- 

 nue, where a hearty welcome awaits you. We also hope 

 that you will arrange while in Philadelphia to visit our 

 greenhouses, at 49th and Market Streets, and our new 

 place, at Norwood, Delaware County, Pa. We think that 

 both places will well repay you for the time spent in 

 visiting them. Hoping to see all of our many friends in 

 Philadelphia during the show, and to be of service to our 

 visitors, we remain, 



Fraternally yours, 



Wimam^R Craig ROBERT CRAIG COMPANY.
