RAFFIA POT COVERS 



One of those simple adornments that win instant favor. 



Made of Moss Green Raffia and finished off with a 

 narrow natural strip of reed. 



A striking combination of colors, and a splendid match 

 for any color plant. 



These pot covers are what you need to enhance your 

 Easter plants, look well and are reasonable in price. 



They are good sellers — Why not send for a sample lot today?

Various Notes. 



F. H. Houghton's store, on Park 

 street, narrowly escaped destruction by 

 fire February 10, the coldest day of the 

 winter. Mr. Houghton discovered fire 

 next door at 9 a. m., and, while the 

 fiames did not break through into his 

 store, dense volumes of smoke made it 

 impossible for anyone to stay there. 

 \^th doors and windows open to let 

 8mT)ke out, many palms and other 

 plants were destroyed, all, however, 

 being covered by insurance. I was 

 interested to note that while kentias 

 were destroyed, cibotiums were not 

 damaged in the least. 



A. W. Belcher, of Winthrop, a bulb 

 specialist, has an extra fine lot of Von 

 Sions, Paper Whites and tulips in 

 variety, at the Boston Cooperative 

 Market. 



Frank Macdonald, salesman for N. F. 

 McCarthy & Co., was married February 

 10. The bride was Miss May Deveney, 

 of Dorchester. He has the felicitations 

 of a large circle of friends. 



Carbone is showing some excellent 

 auratums, also rhododendrons, ericas, 

 acacias and lilacs in fine variety. He 

 had a fine Valentine's day trade.

BEHRE'S IMPROVED MODEL 



STEM-ER 



Patent applied for. 



A time-saver to the extent of leseening over 60^ 

 of the labor, together with the grace in which th« 

 leaves and flowers can be set by the firm hold th« 

 Stemmer has upon them, makings them an arti* 

 de of perfection. They are now being used by 

 leading designers. 



This is what E. Woerz, of Enid, Okla., thinks of m7 Stemmer: 

 "Please ship at once 6000 Stemmera; I am out and cannot get along 

 without them. Yours truly, Eugene Woerz." 



Prioea: From 1000 to 6000 at 76c per 1000; 10.000 lott at 

 70c: 26,000 lota and oyer at 66c. At rour dealer'a ordlreol 

 from the factory .
