from 



the Four 



Corners 



of the 



Earth— 



from 



our Own 



Factories 



and

To help you 



to Greater 



Prosperity. 



The Spring edition of Ran- 

 dall's Prosperity News will be 

 off the press this week and 

 should be in your hands by 

 Saturday, March 19th. This 

 publication, established several 

 years ago, is famous for its 

 completeness as an exposition 

 of florists' supplies, for its ex- 

 cellent illustrations, intimate 

 descriptions of merchandise 

 and remarkably low prices. 

 Florists who know this pub- 

 lication appreciate its value 

 as a guide in designing, store 

 decoration and arrangement, 

 merchandising and buying. 



We want every florist in the United 

 States to have a copy of Prosperity 

 News — the journal of ideas.

 there will be flowers for everyone; at 

 this season of the year and with fore-

 supply a tremendous quantity of flowers. 



Open Easter Morning. 



Practically all the wholesale houses in 



the Chicago market will be open Easter 

 Sunday until noon. This principally to 

 take care of city trade, but it will afford 

 out-of-town buyers the opportunity to 

 replenish their stock if they use the tele- 

 graph or telephone during the morning 

 hours. 



Easter Begins Daylight Saving. 



Florists who buy from this market 

 should note that daylight saving goes 

 into effect in Chicago at 2 a. m. Easter 

 Sunday, March 27, when clocks and 

 watches will be set ahead one hour. The 

 railroads are already making up their 

 "summer" time tables. The suburban 



trains will operate on central time, as 

 last year, but trains will be scheduled 

 approximately one hour earlier. 



Frey's Fancy Freesias. 



Although Alois Frey has removed to 

 California, the famous freesias still are 

 the springtime feature at his place at 

 Crown Point. Each season seems to 

 mark a greater advance than any that 

 has gone before. There is not only 

 steady but rapid improvement, in size 

 of flower and in purity and brightness 

 of color. Only two of the varieties, 

 General Pershing and Viola, thus far 

 have been named and disseminated, but
