Various Notes, 



The conservatories, in both Schenley 

 and the north side parks, had the usual 

 Eaater shows. At Schenley park, where 

 the largest show was held. Superinten- 

 dent George Burke reports that 30,000 

 people passed through the houses Sunday, 

 and he expects this will continue every 

 good Sunday as long as the show lasts. 

 At the north side park there was a con- 

 stant stream of visitors all day. There is 

 no doubt that these public shows are 

 great educators and do far more to help 

 the sale of flowers and plants than is 

 usually supposed. 



The A. W. Smith Co. had an opportu- 

 nity to test their system to the limit, 

 Saturday, and they admit there is a limit 

 to the amount of orders a certain force 

 can fill in twenty-four hours. Their 

 business was beyond their greatest ex- 

 pectations. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams had her usual se- 

 lect trade and it is only necessary to say 

 that a vase of lilies was the only stock 

 left when she locked the door Sunday 

 afternoon. Every flower and arrange- 

 ment of plants was sold and out of the 

 house, a $100 funeral being the finishing 

 job. 



Ben Elliott, manager for John Bader, 

 showed up smiling Friday night, as they 

 were cleaned up, as far as blooming 

 plants were concerned, and their trade 

 expectations were fully realized. 



Can anyone off"er a few choice phrases 

 that will fill the bill when the motor 

 truck fails on Easter Saturday? There 

 arc instances of this kind. 



Randolph & McClements report the 

 greatest clean-up in their experience, and 

 say the hardest thing is maiking the de- 

 liveries, but the auto truck almost solves 

 that difficulty. 



Some of the others who reported that 

 trade was fully up to their expectations 

 and that they had all they could do 

 were: H. L. Blind & Bros.; Walter 

 Broitenstein, of Breitenstein & Flemm, 

 and the Zieger Co. 



The flower stands at the markets were 

 beautiful, and all cleaned up nicely.
