Holy Thursday, but with its passing 

 they receded into the background. 



Of miscellaneous stock there was 

 enough to meet all demands, and the 

 several items moved in a manner that 

 left little room for complaint. Bulbous 

 stock cut little figure this year. 



In green goods, the only shortage 

 seemed to be in smilax. 



The present week opened with excel- 

 lent business, but stock, as a natural 

 consequence of better weather and the 

 cessation of the heavy demand, is much

gel owns several flat buildings on the 

 north side, in addition to operating 

 one of the largest and finest retail 

 flower stores in Chicago. All the credit 

 is given to "America," when, as a 

 matter of fact, all the opportunities 

 in the world would not have led to 

 the result without such energy and 

 acumen as that with which nature en- 

 dowed this florist. 



Various Notes. 



In order to increase its output of 

 baskets, the A. L. Eandall Co. has 

 started a branch factory at Burling- 

 ton, la.
