 dition is due to the general drift 

 toward the suburbs. People feel that 

 the city is not the place in which to 

 live if they can help it. They go out 

 of town and when they get there they 

 want a few plants to brighten the

 who have heretofore had no plants are 

 taking up the neglected bedding stock.

 lection of the leading varieties. Every 

 business man asks nowadays for "a 

 snap." If you want a snap try the 

 araucarias.
