ALVIN PLANT FARMS 



ALViN, TEXAS Reference: Farmers' State Bank 



of Mothers' day, whether flowers are 

 high-priced or not, at the store of Paul 

 Blome & Co., 1361 North Clark street. 

 During the two days previous, all the 

 available force was busily occupied. 

 This firm reports excellent business for 

 the entire season. Although there does 

 not seem to be much space for grass in 

 the neighborhood, the seed is selling 

 fast. 



W. W. Adams, 1169 North State 

 street, had orders for flowers amounting 

 to $600 for the funeral of W. C. Niblack, 

 noted as the retriever of broken banks' 

 fortunes. 



W. F. Schofield, 738 North State 

 street, located in the "gold coast" dis- 

 trict, has F. V. Young as active man- 

 ager. For the funeral of Koger Sulli- 

 van this store reports making five pieces 

 amounting to $2,000. This firm had the 

 decorations for the opening of the new 

 Lake Shore bank, on the new Michigan 

 avenue link. 



M. J. Douglass, proprietor of the firm 

 of Wille-Douglass, 3954 Harrison street, 

 reported Mothers' day business excel- 

 lent. Miss Douglass, who was formerly 



with Schiller's, has built up a good busi- 

 ness in a short time. 



Praise for the quality of stock arriv- 

 ing from growers of late is voiced by 

 Miss Anna Grace Sawyer, the Pansy 

 Florist, at 4044 Madison street. She 

 expressed herself as well satisfied with 

 Mothers' day business. Her window 

 display of cut flowers and plants was ex- 

 cellent. 



L. D. Eastman & Son, whose princi- 

 pal place of business is on Seventy-sev- 

 enth street, have removed their branch 

 retail store, known as Eastman's Floral 

 Shop, from 1168 East Sixty-third street 

 to 1322. They have larger and better 

 quarters, in the same block with Kee- 

 nan 's. 



The Allied Florists' Association has 

 been receiving good publicity through 

 assisting in the collection of funds for 

 the May 30 floral decoration of soldiers' 

 graves in France. An advertisement of 

 quite another character was given the 

 trade May 9 and 10 by newspapers which 

 told of the famine in carnations and 

 Mothers' day retail prices, said to be as 

 much as $5 and $6 per dozen.

Mention The Review when yog write. 



Figures always are interesting, so 

 consider these: Last week's sales with 

 Kennicott Bros. Co. were sixty-three 

 per cent increase over the same week in 

 1919, 111 per cent increase over 1918 

 and 180 per cent gain over 1917. Thus 

 does Mothers' day grow.
