of Accident.

After believing that he had recovered
from an internal injury he sustained
late in February, William #. Frank,

that he is in the German Hospital once
more with no prospects of recovering
for at least a month, according to the

On February 5, while lifting a heavy
box at his painting and decorating
establishment at Is Pennington street,
Frank strained himself internally.
After consulting a physician he went
to the German Hospital for two weeks.
being discharged on February 81. Hs
resumed business until March 81. when
he was seized with violent pains. He
was then again hurried to the hopsital.
His Injuries, in so Tar SIS they were
diagnosed, consist of a dislocation IF
internal organs. An operation may be
necessary, or the ice treatment may
successfully cure the case.

FLORISTS HERE
PREPARING FOR
EASTER DEMAND
Local Dealers Already Receiving
Orders for FlOwers-Dis-
plays Next Week.
FOLIAGE BASKETS ARE
NOW VERY POPULAR
Unusually Large Amount of
Bulbs Sent from Holland
This Year.

This is the busy time with Newark
florists in their preparations for the
Easter trade, and from present indica-
tons business Will be exceedingly
brisk. Some of the local dealers report
that already orders are beginning to
come in from those who generally spend
the holiday at Atlantic City, but as y
general rule the displays and greater
preparations are moi started until the
middle of next week.
About the most popular thing In
florists line this year will be the
baskets and hampers Of foliage, blended
flowers n maiden-hair ferns. The
prices are about the same as the past
few seasons with the possible exception
OF the Dorothy Perkins. Lady Gay and
Hiawatha roses, which have come out
In the last season or SO. AT first there
were but a few growers who cultivated
these plants. but it seems hat every
one IN the business did so for this sea-
son, and as a consequence they are con-
siderably cheaper.
Usual Run on Lilies.
OF course, the usual run on lilies, or
chids n azalies is expected, but New
arkers "a thank the foresight of the
local dealers that they are not deprived
somewhat of the usual supply of the
first named flower. 1t is not generally
known, but it Is a fact that most of the
bulbs are grown in the Azores, Ber-
muda and Japan, and are then shipped
to the United States and foreign coun-
tries to be developed. Lately the grow
ors have been growing careless in their
methods and fully one-third of the
bulbs have been found to be crippled
and unfit for The market, when they
are taken up.
Then from 10 to Is per cent. of the
balance are usually found to be I'M
lack Of strength, etc This carelessness
has grown to such an alarming extent
during the past few seasons that ex-
periments have been tried in the West
Indies. but with little success. Thus
II is that dealers have found that they
can count upon but so per cent. of the
supply they had In former seasons.
Big supply of Bulbs.
AS for the other flowers, the majority
of the bulbs of which are cultivated
in Holland, a country which seems to
have the natural facilities for such pur-
poses, the supply is greater than ever,
due probably to the fact that the people
there are thrifty and practise careful
in their growing
Pansies are already on sale at the
Market, coming from the famous
beds. Next week the flower
sale at the market will start with a
rush.
