Forty-ninth and Market Streets. 



There is keen rivalry between the 

 two places of the Eobert Craig Co., as 

 to which can produce the best Easter 

 plants. Despite the handicap of old 

 houses, the parent place has no cause 

 to fear comparison. The stock is ex- 

 cellent. The quantity is large and 

 there are no weak points. The strong 

 points are the Spiraea Gladstone in 

 11-inch tubs with thirty-five heads of 

 bloom. Among the hydrangeas, Mou- 

 illere leads the French, while Otaksais 

 heavily flowered. The roses are well 

 done, from the little Ellen Poulsen, 

 described as peach-blossom shade, 

 through the gamut of the baby class, 

 Orleans, Phyllis and the rest, to that 



Sand old stand-by of the hybrid class, 

 agna Charta. There are valley, dai- 

 sies and many more, not forgetting 

 that ferns have come to be important 

 Easter plants.
