was a blaze of color until the end of 

 the first week in May. The entire gar- 

 den was planted in tulips, each bed a 

 variety by itself, the festoons in yellow 

 and white hanging from globes of pink, 

 a glorious sight. The east end rejoices 

 in pansies and daisies planted with mar- 

 velous good taste. For example, what 

 could be richer than a great circle of 

 purple and lavender pansies, surrounded 

 by a broad band of Bellis perennis?

The Market. 



The last week was an up-and-down 

 affair — the first of it full of sunshine 

 and good cheer, the middle gloomy and 

 depressed, with the accompaniment of 

 rain, and the end, thanks to Mothers' 

 day and the delightful spring weather, 

 a fairly encouraging termination. How- 

 ever, it was not the complete clean-up 

 anticipated, and there was an abundance 

 of everything left over for Sunday and 

 to start the present week.
