 '■ago, making his headquarters at the

H. R. Hughes was delighted the other 

 <'voning^ when he dropped in at a mov- 



ing picture show, to see the scene at 

 the opening of the baseball season for 

 which he made the big design shown in 

 last week's issue of The Review. The 

 movie man had caught the pr^entation 

 scene in fine shape. Mr. Hughes thinks 

 it one of the best general advertise- 

 ments for this use of flowers that ever 

 happened. 



Charles Erne, of Erne & Klingel, re- 

 marks that cattleyas are coming in 

 stronger than before, but no trouble is 

 experienced in moving them.

 refrigerator to Mr. Parkmire. 



F. Jerome, president of the American 

 Importing Co., following information 

 contained in The Review, has writl;en 



to several of his customers who suf- 

 fered at the time of the recent floods 

 and asked that they write him telling 

 of supplies needed to continue busi- 

 ness. He oflfers to forward them what 

 they may need free of charge, express 

 prepaid.

 Co., returned April 21 from a two 

 weeks' visit to New York and the 

 National Flower Show.
