 has purchased 200 tickets for the New

Holland nursery stock is arriving. The 

 receipts of the MacNiflf Horticultural

 this season earlier than usual. 



E. G. Hill, of Eichmond, Ind., was a

 name indicates, a native of Greece. He 

 is a wrestler of unusual ability.

The Market. 



Qjo\A, crisp weather has continued 

 during the last week, with a great 

 deal of sunshine, which has brought on 

 great quantities of bulbous stock. There 

 is an abundance of all kinds of flowers. 

 For th.e beginning of Lent, trade has 

 been good, though there is the lack of 

 elaborate social functions which is al- 

 ways noticeable during the Lenten sea 

 son. Carnations are good, except that 

 the stems in many cases are weak and 

 brittle. Roses are only fair. Beauties 

 are scarce and they are high in price. 

 Valley is excellent and the price is as 

 usual. Sweet peas are much improved 

 in quality and the supply is increas- 

 ing; last week their quality was the 

 best that it has been since Christmas.
