If the latter are given good attention and well pro- tected against freezings and thawings they will prove satisfactorily hardy. An- chusa angustifolia makes a rapid growth sown outside in nursery rows and blooms very freely; the same may be said of Lupinus perennis and several others whilst the following campanulas left standing until fall when they all make nice stock for potting for spring sales. The largest may even be se- lected with good success for fall or very early spring sales. No doubt there may be many others that will bloom the first season from seed as for instance, Gail- lardia grandiflora, but the above list all bloomed as indicated with the writer in one season.

THE RETAIL TRADE A CLEAN and well arranged window, with fresh stock well displayed and fre- quently changed, is the best drummer a retailer can have. The Japanese air plant has proved a good seller but the line of talk handed out by some retailers as to its "growing without water," etc., probably deceives only a very few. Designs of fraternal order emblems usually look best when the pattern is of one color and picked out around the edge with another, or white. They are also best shown on easels in a general way. The retailers of Lowell, Mass., are hav- ing a lively time over Sunday closing. We shall probably soon get down to the level of the English borough where a tobacconist, for more years than we care to remember, has come up on Monday, paid his five-shilling fine and laughed in his sleeve at his law-abiding competitors who lose the lucrative Sunday business.
