.Tamos Glass is recovering from an oper- 

 ation for kidney trouble. 



George Cook, of Arlington, Md., had 

 quite a serious accident. The cap blew 

 off his boiler and he was severely 

 scalded, but he is coming around ail 

 right. 



K. L. CJraham made a handsome pall 

 for the Brooke funeral. The bed was 

 made of smilax, with 4,000 violets 

 bedded -in it and with festoons of smilax 

 around the edge. The loops were tied 

 with clusters of Sunburst roses. 



James Hamilton is having a fine cut 

 of carnations, his Enchantress and Ward 

 being specially fine. 



I. H. Moss is sending in good carna- 

 tions and his yellows are particularly 

 fine. 



Everyone will be sorrv to hear of 



Gonrad Hess 's misfortune. His azalea 

 croj) for Easter is a failure, and Conrad 

 always had the finest at this season. 

 They were chilled before he brought 

 them in and the buds fell off. 



J. P. Willheim has some fine azaleas 

 tliat he is finding a ready sale for. 



Pere Erdman has sold his range on 

 Montebello avenue, to make way for 

 residences, which are fast pushing out 

 in that direction. But Pete is too young 

 a man to retire, so we all wish him good 

 fortune with his new range, which will 

 be on Taylor avenue. 



The supply and demand about balance, 

 with prices firm. I'erhaps there will be 

 a break in prices now that Lent is here, 

 yet T am told that in these days Lent 

 does not affect prices miudi. Tate. 



Greenville, Mich.— A beautiful wed- 

 ding recently took place at the Con- 

 gregational church, when Miss Lucile 

 Kemp, only daughter of E. A. Kemp 

 vice-president of the Greenville Floral 

 Co., was united in marriage with Henry 

 James Dotterweich, a member of the 

 faculty of Grinnell College and Con- 

 servatory, of Grinnell, la., at which place 

 the couple will make their Tiome. A re- 

 ception followed at the home of the 

 bride's parents. The church was elab- 

 orately decorated with palms, ferns, 

 smilax and cut flowers, the color scheme 

 being green and white. The home also 

 was beautified with smilax, ferns and 

 red carnations. Both decorations were 

 under the supervision of E. Q. Mulick 

 president and general manager of the 

 (Jreenville Floral Co.
