 sales are a detriment, as the buyer who 

 takes advantage of such sales is able 

 to procure a supply that suffices for a 

 period of three or four days, whereas, 

 if such sales are not made, the cus- 

 tomer buys as he needs the stock, pays 

 a fair price and is buying every day.

 Asters are much better. Gladioli are 

 excellent and plentiful. The weather

 Lilies are plentiful and cheap. Fine
