"HuUy Gee ! " Look at me, 



I'm the " littlest" of the three, 



But with a "fetch," I can stretch 



Just my douhle, don't you see ? 



Winners we — where'er we be 



In plant display, o'er land and sea. 



There are two others, "bigger" brothers. 



Built on lines just same as me. 



Jim's number two. Bill's number three. 



And we're hot after any job we can see, 



Holding up flower pots full of show. 



For that's what we're built for, don't you know? 



Those who have us think we're great, 



Because with the three of us they can make 



Plant stands, in inches, from six to forty-eight.

The Riling Eastern Market. 



There is a perceptible improvement in 

 the cut flower market since the people 

 decided upon their first magistrate for 

 the coming four years. Whether the im- 

 provement is due to that decision, or to 

 the fact that outdoor flowers have dis- 

 appeared even further south than here, 

 will be left to our readers to decide. The 

 improvement is here, and is gratifying, 

 but it is by no means so pronounced as 

 to cause flowers of ordinary grades to 

 bring prices that one cares to talk about 

 to one's neighbor. Prices continue low 

 for all but the finest flowers. Carna- 

 tions, for example, are so plentiful that 

 the wholesale houses are glad to sell 

 them at prices that would be scorned 

 were it not for the certainty that the 

 stream of flowers would soon swamp the 

 market were listed quotations depended 

 upon to move all the stock. 



Chrysanthemums are less plentiful than 

 a week ago, or at any rate they seem 

 less plentiful, the demand being about 

 sufficient to take all that reach town 

 in salable condition. There has. been no 

 advance in prices, although a few se- 

 lect Chadwick are reported as having 

 been sold at $4 a dozen. The yellow 

 Mrs. Jerome Jones is an important fac-

 among the whites last week, should have
