Various Notes. 



L. D. Robinson reports Mothers' day 

 trade as extra g-cod. He made a spe- 

 cialty of boxes of cut flowers, which 

 sold for $1 and $1.50. He is doing a 

 great deal of outdoor work, filling 

 window boxes, planting beds, etc. 



"All sold out of white carnations," 

 was what Osterman & Steele said on 

 Saturday, May 10. They are showing 

 some attractive baskets of sweet peas 

 in water in their window. 



Len Morgan made a business trip 

 to Cromwell, Conn., last week, to pur- 

 chase stock from A. X. Pierson. 



James Irwin was confined to his 

 home last week because of a trouble- 

 some boil on his arm. 



N. F. Higgins had more funeral work 

 for Mothers' day than regular business. 



William Schlatter is growing some 

 fine baby gladioli. He made a business 

 trip to Boston recently. 



T. F. Sheehan, of State street, did 

 an elaborate decoration at the Audi- 

 torium, May 12, for the ball of the 

 Knights of Columbus. Palms, Amer- 

 ican Beauties and Killarney roses were 

 used. He also sold about 270 corsages 

 for the same occasion. 



A. N, Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., 

 is sending some good valley and baby 

 gladioli to this market. 



J. W. Adams is more than busy with 

 outdoor work. He received a large im- 

 portation of bay trees last week. 



The flowers and plants used at the 

 Worthy hotel are now furnished by 

 M. Aitken. Mr. Aitken did a big busi- 

 ness on Saturday, May 10. 



Since the Brainard Co., of Thomp- 

 sonville. Conn., has gone out of the cut 

 flower business, the Springfield florists 

 are getting the trade from that town 

 and Hazardville. 



The frost of May 12 was quite heavy, 

 but did not do any serious damage 

 to early plants and flowers. 



The Smith College garden party and 

 dance brought some business to this 

 city in the way of corsages, etc. 



Matinee corsages, made up of rose- 

 buds, forget-me-nots, sweet peas, etc., 

 are finding favor with the public here.
