 Philadelphia the early part of last week, 

 carrying some of his fine sweet peas and 

 violets, and taking the only silver medal 

 awarded for his collection of sweet peas. 



Paine Bros., of Eandolph, are handling

 fine white, pink and lavender sweet peas

 There will be music from a ladies' or- 

 chestra each afternoon and evening." At-

 were doubled for this show. 



At the club meeting, April 20, L. J. 

 Eeuter, of Westerly, E. I., will read a 

 paper on "Eose Culture." 



E. L. Pierce, of the Hews Co., is seri- 

 ously ill.

Death of Mrs. Doyle. 



Mrs. Katherine E. Doyle, wife of Will- 

 iam E. Doyle, died March 26 at her home 

 in Cambridge, after a long illness. 



W. N. Craig. 



A case involving the question whether 

 florists can work on Sunday making frefeh 

 floral pieces for Sabbath funerals was de- 

 cided by Judge Sullivan in the City Po- 

 lice Court, March 26, Abraham Caplan, 

 a florist, at 144 Massachusetts avenue, 

 being fined $15. Caplan 's attorney con- 

 tended that as flowers were perishable, 

 they could not be prepared and delivered 

 except on the day of the funeral. Judge 

 Sullivan decided that, as Caplan had been 

 working in his store on Sunday, the fact 

 that the flowers had been paid for on 

 Saturday had no bearing on the case, as 

 the transaction could not be completed 

 until they were delivered. 



I don't see how any florist can do 

 business without the Eeview. — Alfked 

 EuNNiON, Sheldon, HI.
