 your wife, children and mother-in-law. 



This has been such a strange and pe- 

 culiar spring that we hardly know where 

 we are at. As noticed by some other 

 correspondent, all classes of the tulips, 

 the early single, the parrot, the late vari- 

 eties and the Gesneriana, are all together. 

 Peonies never are in with us for Deco- 

 ration day and. won't be this year for a 

 month. How wonderful to hear that 

 they are abundant in Milwaukee and yet 

 won't be out in Long Island I They 

 must have been watering them with that 

 which made Milwaukee famous, heated 

 to a temperature of 175. That's the 

 correct temperature to scald a pig or 

 extract the saccharine matter from the 

 barley. 



Ldlac will be just right with us and 

 outside valley will be right on top. If 

 some framed and shaded glass are put 

 over valley beds and they are not too oM 

 and crowded it comes about as good as 

 the best inside grown. There will be 

 no trouble to save tulips, if cut and kept 

 cool. So altogether we shall get along 

 and if the weather is such as it is this 

 blessed morning, there will be a bip 

 business. 



How remarkable that almost from 

 every city, big and little, comes the 

 mournful cry of overproduction and lov/ 

 prices. Carnations, 50 cents to $1 ; roses, 

 $1 to $3 per 100, and in some cases no 

 price at all. This is the continentaJ 

 plaint with one glorious exception. From 

 glorious old Canada comes the report. 

 Toronto says "business is fine, prices 

 have dropped, yet better grades of roses 

 bring $8 and carnations $3, ' * all of which 

 goes to show how necessary it is for up 

 to have a twenty-five per cent protective 

 tariff to keep the low paid Canucks from 

 swamping our market! Saddle Eiver pa- 

 pers please copy. 



We glory in that forty-eight out ot 

 fifty targets of James Eadie, of Cleve- 

 land. Look out Darby Eoad and Chest- 

 nut street. Chestnut Hill and Dayton, O. 

 It will need the inspiration of the Mar- 

 guerite's ice box to equal that. 



That is a dreadful thing we hear from 

 Lynn, Mass., a burglar under a lady 

 florist's bed, and he escaped! We knew

 never was, and she gave up her search

Buffalo has occupied a conspicuous 

 place in the press of the country for 

 the last week because the great lights of 

 the Presbyterian church of the United 

 States are here in annual general assem- 

 bly. The union of the north and south 

 church is the most exciting topic before 

 them. Since this venerable body decided 

 in convention a few years ago, in Phila- 

 delphia, that babies of thirteen weeks 

 would not be toasted for eternity be- 

 cause they had not joined the church, 

 we have felt much more comfortable for 

 the future existence of our neglected off- 

 spring. W. S. 



Hiawatha, Kans. — J. W. Margrave & 

 Co. say that trade is very good this 

 spring but the season is late and cold 

 rains very frequent. 



MtoNTPELiER, Vt. — H. M. Totman has 

 bought the interest of his partner, F. J. 

 Burnell, and will continue business for 

 his own account. 



ScRANTON, Pa. — W. W. Nash has just 

 completed a very nice order for the 

 planting of the extensive Comstock prem- 

 ises. A large number of flowering shrubs 

 were used. 



Reading, Pa. — Lee H. Keller, former- 

 ly of New York, is remodeling the store 

 at 636 Penn street and will open it 

 shortly as a first-class cut flower store. 

 A conservatory is being built in the 

 rear.
