were all placed on advance orders. In 

 bulbous stock the trade bought heavily 

 in all lines, but there are not the usual 

 big cuts in Bomans and Paper Whites. 

 Sweet peas sell well in all the light 

 shades, and the fancy have quite a good 

 call. Tulips have been coming in fine 

 and all sell well except the yellow. All 

 greens are selling as usual. 



The retail trade reports a splendid 

 week's business in all lines — weddings, 

 receptions, dinners and funeral work. 

 McKinley day fell on a Sunday and was 

 not so generally observed as it would 

 have been during the week. Good social 

 work should continue from now on until 

 Lent sets in. 



Various Notes.

 mons, at Webster Groves, was found 

 dead in his buggy while driving to town 

 last week. The body was shipped to

 Clair Floral Co., is out for the nomina- 

 £ion for mayor of Belleville. Mr. Hal-

 time mayor, having served the unex- 

 pired term of Mayor Hay.
