is better when it is full blown than in the 

 bud, and she assured me that its keeping 

 qualities could not be beaten. Another 

 was My Maryland, that fine salmon pink. 

 Too much cannot be said of these two 

 varieties. There was a window display 

 that was most attractive. It was the first 

 balmy spring day of the season, so spring 

 flowers were featured exclusively, arranged 

 is baskets and harmonizing in colors. 

 The arrangement of the whole denoted 

 the work of an artist. The thing that 

 struck me most forcibly was that, while 

 the whole effect was good, there was no 

 crowding. 



In this block there are five florists, so 

 that it might well be called the "flower" 

 block. They are Feast & Sons, Halliday 

 Bros., E. A. Seidewitz, W. J. Halliday 

 and .lohn Cook. But time would not 

 permit me to call on all of them, so I 

 just took notes of the windows in pass- 

 ing. Mr. Seidewitz had an attractive win- 

 dow with an oil painting in the center. 

 The subject was "Tulip Time in Hol- 

 land." It was a field of tulips with the 

 proverbial Dutch windmill in the distance, 

 by Mr. Seidewitz. W. J. Halliday had a 

 Avindow in yellow, in which jonquils pre- 

 dominateil. Feast & Sons had prim- 

 roses and azaleas, with a large vase of 

 Harrisii. Halliday Bros, had Harrisii 

 lilies, snapdragons and violets. 



Wlien you put five florists with the 

 re])iitMtioii of the above in one city block, 

 you can imagine that the display effect 

 is striking, one that flower-lovers would 

 go some distance to see.
