that if I did that I would bust. So 

 you see that while I admire William A. 

 Leonard I do not attempt to follow him 

 and am quite satisfied that there are a 

 good many people who could not suc- 

 cessfully do so either. 



The place looked remarkably well. A 

 heavy crop had just been harvested. 

 The visit was a pleasant one. The only 

 gingery feature was Mr. Leonard's 

 Df ive introduction to his foreman, Mr. 

 Bradley: "Here is the man who gives 

 us ballyhoo in the paper." 



I'll tell you about the other visits 

 next week, if space permits. 



Various Notes. 



Edward Eeid sums up the Easter 

 prospects as follows: "Carnations are 



not likely to be overplentiful, with 

 prices a little higher. Koses will be on 

 crop and good, at moderate prices. 

 There will be enough violets, but sweet 

 peas are taking their place. Lilies are 

 likely to be in oversupply. " This 

 seems a fair prophecy. 



B. Eschner, president of the M. Eice 

 Co., says the Easter business in florists' 

 supplies has exceeded that of last year, 

 despite unfavorable conditions abroad. 



A little bird calls attention to the 

 absence of comment on St. Patrick's 

 day in flowers. It should be said that 

 white carnations advanced to $5 per 

 hundred then. Alma Ward brought $4 

 to $4.50, because this variety is not a 

 pure white now. The purer the white 

 the better it dyes. While Enchantress 



and Alma Ward will dye green, they 

 will not dye so good a shade as the 

 pure whites. Practically no other flow- 

 ers are used for this purpose. 



August Mueller has sold all his aza- 

 leas and lilies for Easter. 



The condition of the lily market 

 March 31 may be understood by 

 stating that the wholesale houses and 

 the leading growers are offering lil- 

 ies at $10 per hundred. A few fine 

 ones will bring $12.50, but many short 

 ones will bring $8. The 10-cent stores 

 all have lilies to retail, which is signifi- 

 cant. While a department store offers 

 to deliver lilies at 9 cents per flower, 

 should these not seem good enough for' 

 the prospective customer, better lilies
