both standard and in bush form, are 

 selling finely. Large boxes of Ludwig 

 Spaeth and Michael Buchner lilacs are 

 splendid. Mr. Carbone is expected

Mailn Bros, are sending in»'the first 

 Spanish iris of the season. They are 

 also getting some fine candidum and 

 speciosum lilies. 



At Penn's, business is brisk. They 

 had a large number of beautiful bas- 

 kets for the opening of the big new 

 department store of W. & A. Bacon 

 Co., which replaces the bankrupt Henry 

 Siegel store. Violets continue to draw 

 an ever increasing army of purchasers 

 here. 



To facilitate the delivery of his Eas- 

 ter plants, William A. Biggs, of Au- 

 burndale, has a new motor truck. Those 

 who liave seen his stock recently say 

 it is in fine shape. 



The winter-blooming Spencer sweet 

 peas now are flowering magnificently 

 for William Sim. 



The Boston Cut Flower Co. is de- 

 lighted with its new Autocar, which is 

 one of the finest and most up-to-date in 

 Boston. W. N. Craig. 



SPBINOFIEIJ), MASS. 



Tlie Market. 



St. Patrick's day made the first part 

 of last week extra good, as there was a 

 strong demand for colored plants and 

 flowers. Stock, is quite plentiful. There 

 were Saturday sales on roses at 50 and 

 75 cents a dozen in a number of the 

 stores. Locally grown violets sold at 

 25 cents a bunch. Bulbous stock is 

 quite plentiful, but a great many of the 

 bulbs came blind. Locally grown East- 

 er lilies will be quite plentiful for 

 Easter. 



Various Notes. 



William Schlatter & Son are turning 

 out some fine bulbous stock and are 

 cutting some fine snapdragons, sOme 

 stems being about five feet long. 



Mrs. Higgins is back at work again 

 after being confined to her home for a 

 few weeks with the grip. F. J. C.

JOY! 



This is a Carnation that did not get a deputation 

 over night. We have been handling it for a little over 

 two years and ought to know something about it. 



IT'S A REAL RED 



It is the kind of Carnation that proves the florist's friend. Shipped over a distance, it 

 will look as seed on arrival as when sent. This feature appeals to us because we know what 

 it means to the man who is depending on us. 



JOY has been described by Mr. E. H. Blameuser, of Niles Center, 111.— the man who 

 raised it-as "a strong grower, early, very free and continuous bloomer, with strong calyx 

 and good stem." That should be good enough for anybody.
