over last week, includiog long fancy 

 lieauties. All white roses sold well. The 

 wholesalers are looking for large con- 

 signments in these all of this week. Vio- 

 lets are becoming small, as the warm 

 weather had a telling effect on them, and 

 they will be scarce all of this week. The 

 prospects are for a big supply of lilies, 

 both callas and Harrisii, and other bulb 

 stock is fine, especially valley and tulips. 

 Romans are scarce, but there are plenty 

 of Paper Whites, Von Sions and Dutch 

 hyacinths. Sweet peas are of extra qual- 

 ity and Kirkwood will supply the bulk of 

 them. 



There is a great deal of talk as to 

 Easter stock and business, but from ap- 

 pearances there need be no fear. There 

 will be an abundance of cut flowers and 

 plants, and if the weather holds out, bus- 

 iness will be as good, if not better, than 

 last year. • 



Various Notes. 



E. W. Guy, of Belleville, 111., was a 

 visitor last week. Mr. Guy says that 

 Easter stock in both plants and cut flow- 

 ers will be fine with the Belleville 

 florists. 



Mrs. William Ellison made a business 

 trip to Chicago recently and purchased 

 her Easter stock. Mr. Ellison says trade 

 has been good with them all during 

 Lent. 



There were a great many store decora- 

 tions going on last week. Among the 

 largest was Barr's, by C. Young & Sons 

 do., and the Foster Floral Co. had Van- 

 (lervort's. William Schray & Sons, 

 <'harles Beyer and Sanders were also 

 busy with this kind of work. 



C. Young & Sons Co. had a novel win- 

 dow display last week. The attraction 

 was a complete line of garden seeds, 

 tools and all implements used for the 

 }:jarden, also an incubator with a dozen or 

 so young chickens running out and in. 



Johnnie Peters, once a famous short- 

 stop of the Chicago White Sox back in 

 the eighties, is now employed as gardener 

 nt the Compton Hill park, under the 

 y:uiding hand of Phil Giebel. 



Fred C. Weber is out with a new 1910 

 model touring automobile, in which he 

 ' xpects to make short trips during the 

 summer. 



The Union Market plant stands are 



What W. J. Palmer & Son, Lancaster and 

 Buffalo, New York, have to say of 



'"DETROIT" AUTOMATIC RETURN 

 STEAM TRAPS 



"We have been using two of your 'Detroit' 

 Traps the past winter on a Gravity System 

 and find they keep the pipe clear of conden- 

 sation, therefore making the return do as 

 much as the flow. We are able to heat with 

 less number of pipe than formerly and keep 

 the houses far more even in temperature." 



"Detroit" Traps will do the same for you.
