HORAN'S EASTER DISPLAY
Seasonable Exhibit of Choice Flowers
and Plants.

Easter time is the one season in
the year when everyone's thoughts
are turned toward flowers and flower
ing plants. Flowers are inseparably
connected with Easter, and the week
preceding Easter is one in which all
florists make their largest showing.
Probably one of the finest displays OF
Towering plants and cut flowers in
the city is to be seen at the shop OF
James Koran &, Son, 943 Main street
at the corner of Bank street. Little
does the public think of the long
months of careful watching and care
that enters into the growing of the
beautiful plants in time for Easter.
Throughout the winter Florist Koran
has had many men at work caring
for the large number of Easter Lilies
which he now displays in the shop
at the corner of Main and Bank SITS.
But many of the finest Easter lilies
are now imported from Japan and the
Isle of Formosa and even more care
and skill must be exercised by the
Florist in caring for these imported
plants in order that they may become
our climate. Easter lilies are by no
means all that are to be seen at the
florist shop of James Koran & Son.
Tulips in all their varied shades are
there in great profusion. Many per-
sons are very fond of the Crimson

with it's large cluster of blooms in its
varied colors. Azaleas in their beau
tiful shades of pink and white are an
other of the popular flowers. Spirea
and daffodils are also to be seen in
many shades. Besides all these flow
ering plants there is a wonderful col
lection of cut flowers, such as roses
and carnations. The Koran green
house is located but short way out
on Fairfield avenue and the cut flow
ers come fresh from the nursery every
day. Messrs. Koran are always glad
to deliver flowers or plants to any adj
dress, and are careful that the flowers
reach their destination on schedule
time and in good order. For the con-
venience of their many patrons, they
maintain a branch shop at the store
of F. e. Beach at 9S5 Main street. 1t
is well worth the while Of any lover
of flowers to stop a moment in Hoo
rams and see the wonderful display.

Lo! republic was born.
Not in the arms of this Queen of the

dead:
Forests of palms hailed the flag on
her decks
Roses above her were spread.
Long had she waited her funeral
Lying in rough state mid sunlight
Now the worlds plaudits each step

Followed her path to the tomb.
Full sixty fathoms we buried her
low.

Far from molesting Of friend or Of

Needless of tempests she lies.

While with the love of a nation

0LD-T|ME REMEDY
DARKENS THE HAIR
Gives Color. LuStre to Faded and
Gray Hair-Dandruff Quickly
Removed.

For generations Sage and Sulphur
have been used for hair and scalp
troubles. Almost everyone knows
the value of such a combina-
ton for keeping the hair a good even
color, for curing d%andruff, itching
scalp and falling hair, and for pro-
noting the growth of the hair.
Years ago the only way to get a
Hair Tonic of this kind was to make
it in the home, which was trouble
some and not always satisfactory.
Nowadays, almost. any u~p-to-date
druggist can supply his patrons with
a ready-to-use product, skilfully
prepared in perfectly equipped lab
oratories.
An~ideal preparation of this sort
is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, in which Sage and Sulphur
are combined with other valuable
remedies for scalp troubles and thin,
weak hair that is losing its color or
coming out. After using this rem
edy for a few days, you will notice
the color gradually coming back,
your scalp will feel better, the
dandruff will soon be gone, and In
less than a months time there will
be a wonderful difference in your
hair.
Don't neglect your hair If 1t is full
of dandruff, losing its color or COM
ing out. Get a fifty cen bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from
your druggist, and see what a few
days treatment will do for you. All
druggists sell it, under guarantee
that the money will be refunded II
the remedy is not exactly as repre-
scented.

for This Summer.

Commissioner Slower, of the park
department of the city of New York,
has made the announcement that
the borough of Richmond will have
more park concerts this year than

end of the island. The concerts
will begin on the island on July 4.

Fourth Of July celebration Will be
held and the first concert will be
held in connection with that affair.
AS far as known that affair will be
held on the grounds Of the Totem
Vile Athletic Club in Sprague ave
nue., Tottenville, but the band CON
certs will be held on the school
grounds in Garrison place the same
as last year. An effort was made
last year to have the concerts on
the athletic club grounds but with
out success. At the latter place
there would be ample seating room
for all, whereas at the school nearly
all are obliged to stand outside of
those who subscribed for chairs that
are kept at the Aquehonga A. c..
house. The T|ottenville band, under
the leadership of Frank l.. Hadkins.
will again furnish the concerts for
the fifth ward.
