He also said that some orders for lily 

 plants were received, but the retailers 

 seemed afraid to order cut stock. 



Stock for Easter. 



Everyone should be able to estimate 

 approximately at least the number of 

 plants he can use for Easter and it 

 would be that much off his mind to have 

 orders placed. There will be a fair sup- 

 ply of hydrangeas and the wise buyers 

 are already picking out the choicest of 

 these. One wholesaler said that he 

 would have a good stock of valley, but 

 the public has been so long without it 

 that he did not know how it would sell. 

 Bulbous stock will be in fair supply, as 

 will roses and carnations. There is not 

 going to be anything like a glut of any 

 single item of stock. 



Various Notes. 



The local advertising committee is 

 working hard and now has its plan in 

 working order. Monday, March 15, 

 those who had signed up found either 

 one-half of one per cent deducted or 

 one per cent added to their statements. 

 The committee has added to the list 

 since the last meeting several of the 

 largest growers and retailers. It will 

 only be a matter of a short time until 

 everyone will be in. No man is going 

 to stand by and see others carry on a

campaign that is benefiting his busi- 

 ness without bearing some of the bur- 

 den. 



Philip B. Welsh has his usual supply 

 of Easter stock. The lilies are in fine 

 shape and he will have a big cut of the 

 Welsh quality of sweet peas and a fairly 

 good quantity of bulbous stock. Mr. 

 Welsh rarely misses it for any of the 

 big flower days. 



Another old reliable who always can 



be depended upon is James Glass. We 

 are all familiar with his hyacinths at 

 Easter; there is something about his 

 stock that is different; the pots are 

 clean, the foliage is always perfect, the 

 blooms are fine and he has a knack of 

 having just the right colors. Mr. Glass 

 will have a fine batch of lilies and hy- 

 drangeas, to saying nothing of smaller 

 blooming plants.
