Paine Bros., of Eandolph, are mar- keting at the Boston Flower Exchange their usual fine assortment of bulbous flowers. They report sales at Easter as ahead of any previous year, with better prices.

William Patterson, of WoUaston, one of our leading bulb specialists, had an exceptionally strong Easter trade, and reports sales as splendid, everything cleaning up well.

Houghton, on Park street, had a charm
