ton. Since the fact has been established 

 that transplanting can be more safely 

 and satisfactorily accomplished from pots 

 than from the open ground, that method 

 is employed in nearly all varieties. The 

 evenness of each variety bore silent but 

 eloquent testimony to the thoroughness 

 of the work; there were few tardy ones 

 and scarcely an absentee as frame after 

 frame was passed. The real kernel of 

 the success of this plan at Dreer's lies 

 in the impossibility of controlling weather 

 conditions. An order comes just after 

 the plants have started into active 

 growth, root action is checked and it may 

 be that the entire season passes before 

 vigor is regained; or, if the order is too 

 late, heavy losses may result. The pot 

 system practically avoids danger ; it in- 

 creases expense to the grower, but not in 

 proportion to the enormous increase in 

 satisfaction to the customer, who gets 

 what he wants and the results are not 

 disappointing. 



Various Notes. 



Robert Craig says Easter was fully up 

 to last year, the record-breaker. 



N. U. Gachor, for twenty-eight years 

 proprietor of the flower stand in Broad 

 Street station, will retire March 31. 



The shops are bright this week with 

 pansies for window gardens; Fred J. 

 Michell, Jr., says that the enormous size 

 of much of the stock is due to their im- 

 proved giant strain. 



George Craig had the largest Easter in 

 his long, successful career. 



Godfrey Aschmann reports an excellent 

 Easter, $800 worth being sold Saturday.

Yoor Old Wagon is an Expense 



Investigate and you will find that 

 it is true. If your wagon doesn't 

 looli very good ask the first dozen 

 customers that come into your store 

 if they have noticed what a shabby 

 wagon you have, and they will tell 

 you that they have. 



A cheap wagon won't help matters 

 any, but get one of those high grade 

 Armleder Wacons, and you will 

 be making an investment that will 

 pay you.
