 Bears the trade-mark— "AIiTIMO."

have been plentiful and unless' something 

 unforeseen arises there will be a good 

 crop for Easter. 



In regard to Easter lilies, the indica- 

 tions are that the supply will be up to 

 all requirements. Tulips and daffodils 

 continue to come in good supply. All 

 other plants are looking well and the 

 outlook for Easter is good for a good 

 business. 



Variotn Notes. 



Ben Boldt has received a building per- 

 mit for an addition to his greenhouse on 

 Lowell boulevard, to cost $3,000. 



J. A. Valentine has returned home 

 from Chicago. E. S. K. 



VASHINGTON, N. J. 



Alonzo J. Bryan began work March 30 

 on three new greenhouses on his farm 

 on East Washington avenue. The new 

 houses will be 28x110, with a height of 

 fourteen feet from the floor to the ridge. 

 Besides these buildings, he will also erect 

 a propagating house and a vegetable 

 house. When completed the entire plant 

 will be heated by steam, instead of hot 

 water, as at present. Mr. Bryan will 

 carry on the vegetable business on a 

 larger scale and will still cater to the 

 local demand for plants and cut flowers, 

 but the greater part of the product of 

 his greenhouses will be shipped to other 

 markets. Edgar McConnell, of Scranton, 

 Pa., who has had over thirty years' ex- 

 perience in the trade, has been engaged 

 as manager of the floral end of the busi- 

 ness. Mr. Bryan's dwelling, which was 

 partly destroyed by fire March 16, will 

 be replaced by a handsome new residence.
