 It is impossible to disassociate the thought of Easter from that of flow CTS, for even. the mere mentor, of the holiday brings to the inward eye. visions of quantities of bright hued fblossoIns of many varieties. In variably at Easter as at no other time of theA year, steps are turned toward< the flower shop for even the tiniest flower is not too mean or small to bear the great message of the day.
 But in turning ones steps toward the howef shop. one should choose a well stocked one and this year John Reoxs & Son have provided three spIendIdly supplied places in the cen ter of the city toward which Bridge port may turn. The first is their regular place of business at 9S5 Main street. the second the Arcade, which for the last twelve years they have always transformed into a bower of beauty at this season of the year, and the third is the branch which they have opened at Is Fairfield ave nue., in the Atlantic hotel building. The entire three places are easy of access and are supplied by the large green houses of the firm on Oak street. Also, in the rear of the Main street store, as usual, a tenn porary greenhouse has been con- strueted for displaying hundreds of plants.
 By right of pre-eminence at this season. the Easter lily deserves first mention. These. according to MT. Reck,. are more nearly perfect than ever this year. They come in vari- o1s heights from twelve inches to four and five feet and contain from two to twelve blossoms and buds, with the healthy green. foliage continuing tp the pot, leaving no uncovered stalk. 1 There are hundreds and hundreds of these beautiful plants.

One of the most noticeable signs Of
the progress that is being made in this
agricultural community is the number
OF silos that are being erected. Espesi-
ally is this true of the Holbrook Valley.
With possibly one or two exceptions. no
silos were to be found in this section two
years ago. the first silos heing erected
last fall. The sios there now number
twenty or more. A great many farmers
are now putting up two si!os. This is
partly for the purpose of being able to
keep more COWS. but another reason Is
for the purpose of having succulence
during the latter part OF the summer
after the grass is dried. This summer
especially silage during August and
September would have been almost
invaluable as large proportion of the
dairy COWS very nearly went dry.-La
