Weather conditions are as variable as only March can produce. Trade is only fair and stock is still very plentiful with all kinds of prices. Some growers will have to get a lot of sun to get their lilies in while others have no fear. Bargain sales on violets have helped the sale of other stock on Saturdays, other- wise things would be stagnant. Spring openings in all the large stores has given the florists some good orders for palms and flowering stock, also wild smilax and other decorative stock. NOTES. Superintendent Brothers of the city parks resigned owing to ill health and was succeeded by Auditor David Sey- mour, who has been with the park de- partment for seven years. The appoint- ment was a good one and Mr. Seymour will ably fill the position of superintend- ent. Frederick P. Knee was appointed auditor. There is a great deal of talk about removing South Park greenhouses but as yet, no place has been selected. The present location never was an ideal one on account of having to cross every railroad in the city to get there and now it is surrounded by the steel plant. The notice of J. Benson and Fred Stafford opening their store on Upper Main street was quickly followed by the announcement of another store at 354 Main street, opposite the Hotel Iroquois, which will be opened by William Stroh, a large grower of Attica, who has asso- ciated himself with his son and Arthur Beyer, who for the past 10 years has been with W. J. Palmer, and has man- aged the upper store for the past sis years. Mr. Beyer is a first class florist and with the large stock of Mr. Strob, together with the location, the firm should be successful. H. Keitsch & Son may get an automobile but they will pick it out themselves. An unruly one tried to force its way into their store recently. Joseph Streit, foreman a
