Henry Wehrman has begun to pick 

 sweet peas in quantity. 



Sam Pearce sent in the first tulips 

 of the season last week. 



A. H. Budlong has used the last of

 which he believes was almost killed by 

 the Christmas prices. 



A 1920 edition of Kroeschell's carna-

 schlager says. 



George C. Weiland last week cut the 

 first Freesia Purity to be reported this 

 season.
