Trade Notes. 



As might be expected, IrmlL- lias fall- 

 en off slightly since the beginning 

 of the Lenten season. The nbsenee of 

 large social events is most noticeable. 

 Considerable is being done in loo.se (low- 

 ers and funeral work and every one re- 

 ports good sales. Stock of all" kinds is 

 more plentiful and of excellent quality. 

 To dispose of the influx of violets spe- 

 cial sales are held here every Saturday. 

 We see no harm in offering these induce- 

 ments to the public, as thousands of 

 violets arc sold which otherwise might 

 be a total loss to the producer. 



W. J. Barnes is cutting some fine bul- 

 bous stock, especially in Harrisii lilies, 

 which brings good prices. 



There is not a more enterprising man 

 among the craft here than R. S. Brown, 

 of Prospect avenue. Commencing in his 

 present location twenty-five years ago, 

 lie soon built up a prosperous business, 

 his specialty being young rooted stock. 

 At that time there were no improve- 

 ments in his vicinity; now he is hemmed 

 in on all sides by fashionable residences. 

 A few years ago Mr. Brown took his 

 son Nathan into partnership, Nathan 

 devoting his time to the cut flower de- 

 partment, which has flourished under 

 his management. This firm has recent- 

 ly purchased a seven-acre plot at In- 

 dependence, Mo., and this spring will 

 begin building 15,000 feet of glass for 

 the growing of cut flowers exclusively. 

 Mr. Nathan Brown will have charge of 

 this addition, and he is fully equal to 

 the responsibility. 



Our able park superintendent, Mr. 

 George Kessler, gave a very instructive 

 talk one day last week to an interested 

 audience in the lecture room of the Libra- 

 ry building on the preparation and care 

 of lawns and flower beds. Owing to 

 the great activity in suburban residence 

 building and the consequent increased 

 interest taken in landscape gardening, 

 Mr. Kessler's remarks were attentively 

 listener! U> and hroutrht out a general

 Carlo Sachman is filling a position with 

 Mr. Alfred Broman, of Independence, 

 Mo., and John Buxton was equally suc- 

 cessful with ]Mr. George M. Kellogg, 

 Pleasant Mill, Mo. 



The weather has been very changea- 

 ble, all four seasons of the year being 

 represented in the past week." We now 

 have eight inches of snow, which ar- 

 rived this morning from Kansas City,

New Orleans, La. — The Mardi Gras 

 festivities brought an unusiially large 

 number of visitors to the city this year, 

 and business was first clas's with the 

 florists. There has been a good deal of 

 rain and a slight frost, thai did no ma- 

 terial damage.
