= In the last minute rush — 



In the hurried preparation for a big Easter business you have probably overlooked some items of importance — here's 

 where you can depend upon McCalluui Service to the full limit. Never was there a more^ complete line of exclusively 

 florists' supplies gotten together for the trade. Glance over the items below and if you are low on any of them write or 

 telegraph your order at once. Goods will be shipped same day order is received.

The Market. 



The market lias been in a glutted con- 

 dition. Carnations and sweet peas espc- 

 ciallj' have been abundant. Demand 

 has been none too brisk and the supply 

 has accumulated. 



Roses are ample. Tlie price on small 

 lots lias been from $6 to $.'?0 per hun- 

 dred, but bargain prices are obtained on 

 large lots. Carnations have been bring- 

 ing from $4 to $6 per hundred. Sweet 

 peas are in abundance and liave been 

 ranging in price from 7') cents to $2 per 

 hundred. Lilies are plentiful. Callas 

 have been arriving in large quantities 

 and range in price from $\.')0 to $2. 

 Easter lilies are also available. From 

 all indications, the latter will be none 

 too plentiful for the Easter market. 

 The price now is 20 cents per bud or 

 bloom, but the Easter price will be 

 better. 



Bulbous stock is greatly in evidence. 

 Jonquils are especially numerous and 

 have been bringing $6 per hundred. 

 Tulips arc attractive and fairly popular.

FLOEAL CUSS WORDS. 



A group of London art students, says 

 the London Daily News, were sitting at 

 a table in a Chelsea teashop and their 

 language seemed a sort of futurism. 

 One young man, glaring at another, 

 called iiim a "gilded buttercup." The 

 other, firing up, retorted: " SVlmt the 

 golden daffodils do you know about it, 

 you variegated carnation?" Then fol- 

 lowed perfect broadsides of botanical 

 bad language. These youths, it seems, 

 are in revolt against the ugliness of 

 popular swear words and have resolved 

 to form the habit of substituting some 

 ej)ithet3 of beauty. The effect, no doubt, 

 was absurd — yet hardly more so, prob- 

 ably, than the meaningless and more 

 debasing expletives in common use to- 

 day. Besides, a glance at seed cata- 

 logues shows that there is no limit to 

 the dreadful but beautiful things we 

 could call people.
