Business has been picking up the last

 handle, by any means. The outlook 

 is good for the spring trade, however. 

 The growers seem to have things in

 standard of last season.

 shrubs have been good thus far. Seeds 

 in packets are handled by most of our 

 florists, and they have been selling

 change in the cut flower supply, though 

 roses are rather more plentiful. The 

 one real change is the largely increased
