Saxe & Floto, Waterburj', Conn., are 

 preparing for a good Easter. Their lilies 

 never looked finer.

A. Dallas & Son, Waterbury, Conn., 

 are in the optimistic class, though this is 

 one of the places hit by considerable 

 unemployment. "Funeral work helps 

 out wonderfully and this is where the 

 telegraph delivery orders count," com- 

 mented Mr. Dallas, Jr. The senior mem- 

 ber is convalescing from a severe at- 

 tack of the grip,

"More power to it," commented John 

 Ryan, of Byan & Powers, Waterbury, 

 Conn., referring to the rumor that big 

 changes are under consideration here, 

 and that will mean a boom to the floral 

 industry.

"It could be worse," remarked R.

 best is yet to come, noting a steady im- 

 provement and a less spasmodic demand, 

 proving that our people are becoming 

 more and more imbued with the love for 

 flowers, and we will help them to 'Say 

 It with flowers. ' " W. M.

Ole Olsen Gives His Opinion 

 of Stumpp's Foolishness Advertising 



In our mall last week, came a most interesting letter, from 

 Ole Olsen, of a prominent Illinois town, written in charac- 

 teristic Swedish lin^'-Q, that we believe you will be inter- 

 ested In, alike for Its amusing phraseology, and Its frank 

 viewpoint on our weekly talks. The letter reads: 



Stumpps and Stumps 



For two three year, ay bane read in Florists Review "bout 



Stumpp. 



Stumpp he bane florist in New York — but he bane say not 



anything about flowers — tie yust tell funny yokes 'bout cats, 



and de cats and kittens vot he make two holes in barn 



door for. 



Also, about hen what he call Japan, 'cause she sat on China, 



and the longer she sat, the more she done hatch out 



nottings. 



Ven I go by post office, ride away look pink section Review, 



see vot foolishness Slumpi> he got say dese time. 



Von day ay bane een woods, valking around — see beeg 

 stump. .\y stop, look at Jieeni — dan ay link, vel by golly 

 ve get stump een Illinois too, but dese stump he got heem 

 head cut off, he bane no gude — he only yust stay here rot. 

 Den ay tink eef dese Stumpp een New York got bees bed 

 c\it off, lie bane no f,u<le needer. 



But dese Stumpp hees hed very much on — ha bane make 

 some gude lesson by bees yokes. 



So, ay make lesson by dees Stumpp also, ay tink gude hed 

 bane gude ting, even eef eet bane on a Stump. 



(Signed) Ole Olsen.

 his face southward, toward the state of 

 orange blossoms and palmettos. A va- 

 cation f No, indeed, but after business, 

 and Mrs. Rambler went along. A dis- 

 tinctly unusual sight was the children 

 coasting on the Capitol grounds, at 

 Washington. Not in many years has 

 that city seen so much snow as in the 

 winter of 1921-22. 



At Jacksonville the windows of Mills 

 the Florist were filled with bedding 

 plants, and other dealers in the city 

 reported a brisk trade in these commodi- 

 ties. It seemed to the Bambler that the 

 prices were higher than in northern 

 cities. Bex and flowering begonias were 

 quoted at 25 cents to 50 cents each, 

 eoleus at 15' cents to 25 cents. Asparagus 

 plumosus at 50 cents each and Spren-
