The rush March 22 was hard to han- 

 dle. All the stores worked all night 

 Saturday and it was not' until 6 p. m. 

 Sunday that the last deliveries were 

 made and the heaviest week's business 

 finished that the florists e>ver handled, 

 despite the storm of Friday. Prices 

 were but slightly increased over normal 

 and in consequence people bought more 

 freely than they otherwise would. The 

 plant supply was extremely large. It 

 was noticeable that customers preferred 

 a short to a tall plant. In cut flowers 

 lilies took the lead, then roses, carna- 

 tions and violets, bulbous stock follow- 

 ing closely. Plant sales were larger than 

 cut flower sales. Geo. F. Crabb.

The Market. 



There was an abundance of stock for 

 Easter. While the report was general 

 that lilies would be scarce, there seems 

 to have' been enough to go around. 

 Boses, carnations, sweet peas, valley, 

 violets, etc., were equal to the demand. 

 Blooming plants were unusually ^e, 

 particularly bulbous stock, which found

As far as reported, there seems to 

 have been a slight increase in Easter 

 business. A large number of orders 

 were telegraphed out of town, <lue 

 mainly to the efforts of the Florists' 

 Telegraph Delivery. 



And a local department store was 

 able to sell carnations at 3.5 cents per 

 dozen the Saturday before Easter.

In buying a typewriter you want a 

 satisfactory answer to three questions: 



What tcitl it do for me ? 

 Hoto xaell XDilt it do it ? 

 HoXa long tailt it do it? 



By answering these queries with the 

 needs of the typewriter owner and user 

 in mind, the L. C. Smith & Bros. Type- 

 writer Company has attained the front 

 rank in the typewriter field. 



Some people think that a ty^twrittr u a tyjS«- 

 writer and that u all there u lo it. Machines 

 may look alike but there b a lot of diffeience 

 in efficiency. 



The new Model Five it built not only for 

 ttraisht correspondence but (or tabulating, bill- 

 ing and in (act (or eveiy service needed in the 

 average busineu. 



Its ball bearings at all points where friction de- 

 velopes through action, permit close adiustment 

 and insure conect and accurate typewriting.
