the contest promises 10 be one or the ath-
letlc events OF the season. As has been
announced, the proceeds go to the Stuart

yers claim TO be sluggers of the Brouthers
order.
The colors selected by the attorneys are
navy blue and white and will be worn by
many of Richmond's bellies on the 9th OF
June, the day selected for the contest.
The doctors colors are those of the hos

The attention the florist pays nova
days to the Easter lilies is marked one;
for not 90 many years ago the demand
for the beautifully simple white flower
was exceedingly small.
They found tho readiest sale with
churches then, and il was rare indeed
to find private house decorated with
these flowers Even the churches did
not require so many as to make the pro-
duction'of the Easter lily more than q
mere incident in the work of florists
gardener. Now it is feature Of his La
bors in the fall to pot thousands of bulbs
Besides the usual amount of care ex-
ercised by . good gardener in raising
flowers of any kind. these lilies require
especial attention. Before or after the
Easter season there is very little demand
for the flower, and he must see to it that
the buds appear just as Lent is ushered
in. To have the plants flower several
weeks before or not until the season is
closing means q big financial loss. Plac-
ing the plants in q dark room delays the
budding until the time arrives for them
to be salable, and then the forcing be-
