MOTHERS' DAY. 



Brampton, Ont.— The Dale Estate 

 reports Mothers' day business was the 

 most astonishing feature of the sea- 

 son. Last year was remarkably good, 

 but the turnover enjoyed by all in the 

 trade last week allows the occasion to 

 rank uncommonly high. Every particle 

 of stock was sold. 



Oconto, Wis. — Joseph Sylvester says 

 his Mothers' day sales were twenty 

 per cent ahead of last year, although 

 everybody wanted carnations and 

 mostly white. 



Canal Dover, O.— According to C. 

 Betscher, Mothers' day was decidedly 

 better than in previous years; almost 

 equal to Easter. Nearly everyone en- 

 tered into the spirit of the day. Many 

 plants were called for and stock was 

 not equal to the demand. 



Lincoln, Neb. — Chapin Bros., who 

 have been credited with being the first 

 to call attention to the event, say 

 Mothers' day, 1915, proved to be the 

 best ever; the sales of May 8 beat the 

 sales of May 29, 1914, by a little over 

 ten per cent. This was done with little 

 extra effort and they are sure it is 

 the easiest big day of the year, as 

 there is little delivery and so large a 

 percentage of cash trade. , 



Vail kom, la. — George Hammer 

 makes it a rule to send a free bouquet 

 to the church or Sunday school that 

 has placed the largest advance order 

 for Mothers' day. The custom has 

 become known and is a help in getting 

 business.
