-.ANNOUNCEMENT,, 



BTSHE cyclone of Caster Sunday, March 23d, destroyed our new gfreenhouses at Lake 

 Ui Manawa but the lar^re ^rreenhouse place on East Pierce Street was unharmed. 

 This place has several very fine crops of American Beauties, Roses, Carnations, Violets, 

 etc., besides a fine collection of bloominsf plants. We are therefore in readiness to 

 promptly fill your orders as heretofore, and will indeed appreciate your patrona^re. 



The destroyed greenhouses (each 60x1000 feet) will be rebuilt at once and we will 

 be especially well prepared for a larg^e additional business this comin^f fall. 

 ....... . - . Yours very faithfully,

Easter was unusually favorable. 

 The days were all fair and shoppers 

 could get out to their hearts' content, 

 and they did it. There has probably 

 never been as big a day for the retail 

 cut flower trade as was March 22. All 

 the week sales hail been good, but Sat- 

 urday had a regular rush of buyers all 

 day long. We have never seen so much 

 good stock at one time in the city as 

 there was this year and we never saw 

 things clean up better than they did 

 for Easter. Several report a heavier 

 trade this Easter than at Christmas. 



Mclntyre Bros, suffered considerable 

 loss from the storm that swept the 

 country Mwch 20. Several of their 

 new houses were partly unroofed. The 

 damage was temporarily repaired and 

 the loss is fully covered by insvrance. 



J. F. Corbett, who is conducting a 

 nice little local business in North Nash- 

 ville, will have a fine line of bedding 

 plants ready soon. F. B. 



Vancouver, B. 0.— James Tyler, 

 formerly of Jamestown, N. Y., and 

 located here^-Teports conditions here as 

 not favorable to the trade, carnations 

 and roses being especially poor owing 

 to absence of bright weather in winter. 

 Wages are higher, he says, and living 

 is proportionately higher. iHe adds 

 that a large number of Japanese and 

 Chinese are employed in that section 

 and along the coast.
