 mittee, as drawing cards in connection 

 with his sale of bulbs and plants. These 

 men were slated to dispose of 10,000 

 grape vines at 5 cents each, the pro- 

 ceeds to go to them, but it can readily 

 be seen how other goods would also 

 be disposed of to the crowd that 

 flocked to a store where there was an 

 opportunity to come in contact with 

 these much talked of men. 



W. E. Smith is greatly on t.he mend, 

 much to the satisfaction of his many 

 friends. Elmer C. Mayberry expects 

 to be able to go out this week, but it

 wife and daughter, left last Saturday 

 evening for Los Angeles on the special

 planned a great surprise for them, for

 ties will be delivered to them, and sim- 

 ilar boxes will keep them supplied until 

 the}' reach their destination. 



George A. Liessler, formerly at 2923

The Market. 



Business continues to hold strong and 

 prices are satisfactory. There is a full 

 supply of about everything seasonable, 

 arbutus being in large quantities. Seeds- 

 men report extraordinarily good busi- 

 ness, while nurserymen say they have 

 never handled so many small shrubs, 

 etc., for private estates. Taken all in 

 all, everyone is satisfied. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Foster, daughter of H. W. Vose, 

 of Woonsocket, has been on a pleasure 

 trip to New York. 



John Burke, of the Burke Bose Co., 

 spent a portion of last week among 

 friends in Worcester and Springfield, 

 Mass. 



John Dolan, a well known gardener 

 of this city, is about to enter the ranks 

 of the benedicts, having taken out a 

 marriage license last week. The bride- 

 to-be is Miss Mary A. Gannon, also of
