die them. Every florist establishment in
the city is working to it's fullest capacity
in order to get the orders out in time.

as was the case yesterday when the news

permost in the minds of all leading citi-
zens. Members of the family have almost
been overwhelmed by the messages of
! coincidence from the people of Birming-
