Florists and growers of the flowers have

In the way of putting forth the fragrant

You know there has been tremendous

said that was due to the fact that the
flowers won't bear transportation, but such
is not the case. One of the main reasons
is that it is purposely done to protect the
traffic in bulbs which many dealers make
speciality of in the States.

properly packed, there is no reason
why they should not arrive in the New

basket Ball at Y. M. c. A.

The Albany Militia boys will this
evening try conclusions with the Y
M. C. A. boys for supremacy in basket
ball. The game promises to be a
close and exciting one, as the teams
are very evenly matched. The line up
of the Albany team shows some strong
men, some of whom played on the
crack college football team last year.
The association boys, while not as
large as their opponents, are very
fast, and expect to win. The game
will be played in the Y NJ. c. A. gym
nasium, and will doubtless be wit
messed by a large crowd. The lineup
of the team is as follows:
