have ever seen, all Gladstone save a 

 few of the pink. T^e golden genista 

 is better, the experts^agree, than in past 

 seasons, while rhododendrons are liber- 

 ally covered with big buds. Perns and 

 foliage plants, with the less important 

 flowering plants, complete the varied 

 stock. The Easter bustle is already 

 beginning. Loads of plants are going 

 out to the early buyers. Their places 

 are being taken by big loads of plants 

 from Norwood. The timing on all va- 

 rieties appears to be wonderfully ac- 

 curate. It looks today as though 

 nearly everything would bloom natu- 

 rally at Easter.
