clean and promising, well set with buds, 

 in the standard Easter varieties. It 

 is too early to say more than that the 

 buds were full and plump and plenty 

 of them. The rhododendrons are fine, 

 some of them of unusual size. They 

 will be better, Mr. Craig thinks, than 

 even in the past. A moderate number 

 of genistas are being grown in 6-inch 

 pots, but the bulk of the stock is in 

 4-inch, for basket work. They look 

 particularly nice, with the temperature 

 at 45 degrees and the cool air blowing 

 over them. 



The side tables in many of the 

 houses are devoted to basket plants, 

 small stock of all the leading varieties 

 especially grown for use in this way. 

 The list closes with valley, now being 

 potted in 5-inch and 6-inch pans for 

 blooming at Easter. 



The place contains more Easter 

 blooming plants than ever before and 

 shows that it is considered better to 

 concentrate all energy on standard or 

 staple stock rather than attempt a 

 number of unknown and untried sorts. 



Chief among the foliage plant sec- 

 tion, pushed forward to some extent 

 at Easter, is Ficus pandurata, a spe- 

 cialty here for many years. Ferns, too, 

 are featured in all the best Boston 

 types, while dracsBuas, crotons, bego- 

 nias and cyclamens await their turn 

 that comes April 17. 



Before closing, there is always the 

 last thought. This time it is the daisies 

 in yellow, white, in big and bigger, all 

 the picture of health. The P. P. S. is 

 a little house of Spiraea Queen Alex- 

 andra, pink, the delicate beauty of 

 which depends on a light shading just 

 before the flowers unfold.

A casual glance over the new business 

 home of Charles Henry Fox just after it

minded one of the Baltimore flower shops, 

 with their white and green effects so gen- 

 erally adopted as to become almost 

 typical of the florists of that city. Now 

 all is changed and the old Sign of The 

 Rose in new garb has blossomed forth. 

 The shop looks familiar in the quiet air 

 of refinement, yet different in a certain 

 commercialism that is in harmony with its 

 artistic decorations. There is more room 

 and Mr. Fox says there is even more busi- 

 ness, though it is Lent.
