BEAUTY 



If it is true that people 

 who live in beautiful 

 surroundings carry 

 with them a certain 

 harmony, then we who 

 live among the flowers 

 ought to radiate kind- 

 liness and loveliness 

 into the world; and if 

 we do, we may be very 

 sure that kindliness 

 and loveliness will be 

 returned to us.

 that the general outlook is encouraging, 

 favora"ble weather being the only impor- 

 tant factor required. The atmosphere at 

 the meeting was optimistic.

"The planting season is at its height, 

 never busier," observed Edward 

 George, of the Storrs & Harrison Co., 

 Painesvillc, O., who was caught on the 

 fly, so to speak — now here, now there.

One of the sights at the houses of the 

 Flick Floral Co., Fort Wayne, Ind., is 

 a crop of snapdragons of a fine strain. 

 "Best we over had and one which will 

 materially help to swell our coffers at 

 Easter. These are right in line with a 

 heavy crop of roses, Columbia and Pre- 

 mier," observed Manager Aaron Shrive. 



"A delightful trip," remarked P. R. 

 Williams, manager of the 'CIe^^la^rd^ 

 Cut Flower Co., referring to the visit 

 to Indianapolis made by a party of four 

 by automobile. "The boys deserve the 

 fullest amount of credit and nothing 

 but praise, for it was the best show 

 ever given at such short notice."

The visit to Richmond was full of 

 interest, also that to Newcastle, where 

 at the Dittman place the one-time fa- 

 vorite rose. Bride, was seen in fine 

 shape. Our worthy confrere claims it 

 is the best white yet. Easter prospects, 

 both in cut flowers and plants, are good. 

 Large volume in sales, while not in 

 profits, is predicted.

"Our Easter offering," commented 

 James MacLaughlin, the hustling presi- 

 dent of the Cleveland Florists' Club, 

 referring to the addition of eighty- 

 eight new members, whose names he se-

 "Ts show, "it sets one thinking. Here 

 in Cleveland the show must be cen- 

 trally located to draw the crowd. Our 

 fellow craftsmen at Indianapolis must 

 have the public well educited and de- 

 serve our encomiums." Adam Gra-

 by an attack of the "flu," from which 

 he is gradually recovering. Adam Gra-

Warmer weather and pleasant days

The Market. 



In the wliolesale market last week 

 there was plenty of stock. Prices held 

 up well on fancy grades, but other 

 grades went below quotations. Busi- 

 ness among the retailers was not brisk; 

 however, stock moved satisfactorily all 

 last week. 



The outlook for Easter is excellent 

 and, according to reports, this Easter 

 should be a record-breaker. Plants are
