But, in spite of this, Mr. John- son literally waded in and accomplished so much that this season was the great- est in the history of the firm. The firm enjoys the reputation of having one of the most beautiful and well appointed stores in the south, and has attained suc- cess through the use of the most modern and up-to-date methods of rendering service to customers. INOENTJITY. "Ingenuity in conjunction with art is appreciated in the flower shop as well as elsewhere; don't you think so?" asked Eobert A. Craig, in one of the big new houses of the Eobert Craig Co., at Norwood, Pa. That he thought so was indicated by the rambler roses for Easter trained in imitative shapes as well as the standard forms so familiar. There was an aeroplane, quite lifelike. Sir Thomas Lipton's title contender. Shamrock IV, had stimulated another creation. Particularly pleasing, from a retailer's point of view, was a bower that overhung a tiny twig bench, a most ingenious piece of work. A num- ber of other oddities were noted, and a vast number of conventional shapes. The roses are in splendid condition and breaking well. There is an abundant supply for Easter. Two houses filled with Lilium gigan- teum present an appearance quite prom- ising for the big day. Over 10,000 hydrangeas of the new French varieties are in admirable shape. A few cycla- mens, the latest of a big stock for Christmas, serve to show the exceptional quality of the plants that went out for that holiday. Of course, the famous draceenas, crotons and nephrolepis are conspicuous by their number and excel- lence. COBNELL UNIVEESITY. Florlcoltural Lect
