Winterson's Seed 



(Boxwood) 



ists, sold out clean and had the best 

 Easter on record. 



Business splendid, sales away ahead 

 of all previous years, and extent of 

 sales only limited by difficulty in se- 

 curing flowers, was the experience of 

 Welch Bros. 



Montrose Greenhouses had an unusu- 

 ally heavy cut of roses for Easter, and 

 their efficient salesman, E. A. Stickel, 

 had no trouble in clearing them out in 

 good season. 



Sidney Hoffman, at his big Massa- 

 chusetts avenue store, was rushed as 

 never before. 



John Barr, of South Natick, had a 

 heavy Easter pick of high grade carna- 

 tions. They sold like hot cakes at the 

 Boston Cooperative Market. 



James Wheeler came out strong with 

 carnations, snapdragons and yellow 

 marguerites. He had some of the finest 

 snapdragons on the market. 



Carbone's, on Boylston street, was a 

 veritable hive of industry for Easter. 

 Here are always to be found many 

 plants not common, and critical custom- 

 ers always find something to suit them. 



Arnold & Petros, on Boylston street, 

 were surprised with their volume of 

 business and were kept on the jump. 

 This new firm is doing well. 



The hot weather of April 5 and 6 

 caused a great rush of trade at the 

 seed stores. The season has been an 

 erratic one and promises to be drawn 

 out quite late. 



George Garden, of Beverly Cove, is 

 hoping to attend the big international 

 show in London at the end of May.
