 price and the sale is not so brisk. Lilies 

 are of fine quality and bring a good

Variotts Notes. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club took place January 5 and was well 

 attended. The members are expecting a 

 treat at the next meeting in the shape of 

 an article by Arthur Byers, manager for 

 W. J. Palmer & Son. The subject is

 florists' business. It, no doubt, will be
