customer who has use for a large quan- 

 tity for gas or other low-pressure serv- 

 ice, but in clearing the market of un- 

 dersized stock and making "standard 

 pipe" mean just one thing, the move 

 is the best thing which has happened 

 for the purchaser of piping in many 

 years. 



BATAVIA, N. Y. 



Business at Easter was highly satis- 

 factory for all the members of the craft 

 here. Gustav Noack had not only an 

 excellent demand for cut flowers and 

 such plants as azaleas, tulips, hyacinths, 

 daffodils, etc., but was almost smoth- 

 ered with funeral work. He says it 

 was the best Easter he has had since 

 he embarked in the business. 



L. C. Stroh & Sons had about all they 

 could handle, both at the greenhouses 

 and at one of the best drug stores, 

 which they use to help them out on 

 such special occasions. 



The William Scott Co., of Corfu and 

 Buffalo, which does not believe in be- 

 ing outdone, was in the field, as it has 

 been for the last few seasons, at Lead- 

 ley's store. They, like the others made 

 a clean sweep. Of course, to those who 

 saw the display this announcement is 

 no surprise, as the flowers were of the 

 usual Scott quality. 



There was a strong wind here on Fri- 

 day, March 21, but, while severe, it 

 did little damage, aside from making 

 greenhouse men nervous. A. A. K. 



MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. 



One of the largest realty deals recent- 

 ly negotiated downtown is the lease of 

 the property at 83 Tenth street, south, 

 for 100 years by E. A. Latham and 

 O. H. Carlson, who have just effected a 

 business consolidation and who will 

 erect this spring a fireproof building 

 especially adapted to the retail florists' 

 business. The terms of the lease place 

 a high value on the ground, which 

 fronts forty-two and one-half feet and 

 has a depth of 110 feet. For the first 

 twenty-five years the annual rental will 

 be $1,500 per front foot, for the next 

 twenty-five years $1,800 per front foot 

 and for the balance of the lease term 

 $2,000 per front foot. The conservatory 

 will be a special feature of the building 

 and will be supplied from Mr. Latham 's 

 country nursery and from Mr. Carl- 

 son's large greenhouses in northeast 

 Jdlinneapolis. 



Seymour, Ind. — M. A. Barick, proprie- 

 tor of the Seymour Greenhouses, has 

 opened a downtown store at 16 North 

 Chestnut street, with Miss Blanche 

 Barick in charge. '
