William Cromack, of Irwin, Fa., was 

 in the city, arranging for his stock of 

 Easter plants. 



Ed. McCallum, of the McCallum Co., 

 is a ''canoe bug" and spends many 

 of his nights at the club house, to get 

 the benefit of sleeping outdoors, thus 

 getting into shape for a spring trip. 



Samuel McClements is on a business 

 trip through the east, looking for 

 Easter novelties. 



G. P. Weaklen and Mrs. Weaklen are 

 visiting New York, for business and 

 pleasure. 



Joseph Heacock, of Wyncote, Pa., is 

 a visitor, looking up trade in this 

 vicinity.

 rain this week, which is hard on the 

 retailers and still harder on the 

 growers. 



W. C. Beckert, the seedsman, is in 

 the height of the rush and reports 

 more orders than ever before at this 

 time of the year, but, with his new 

 store and better facilities, he is better 

 able to take care of the business.

The Market. 



There is an abundance of all kinds 

 of flowers, but there has been no glut. 

 Business has kept up well, in spite of 

 Lent, and there has been a great deal 

 of funeral work. Bulbous stock is 

 most plentiful and Dutch hyacinths are 

 coming into the market in great quan- 

 tities. The trade expected a big in- 

 crease in business last week, because 

 of the hardware convention in the new 

 city hall auditorium, but the extra work 

 for the convention proved to be of 

 little consequence. Flowering plants 

 are moving at a lively pace. 



Various Notes. 



L. D. Robinson reports that his 

 azaleas and bulbous stock will be in 

 fine condition for Easter. January and 

 February have been the best business 

 months in his experience. 



Meacham & Hassell have been doing 

 a great deal ef funeral work during 

 the last few weeks.
