the reputation of growing unusually fine 

 blooms. Lewis R. Hancock makes a 

 specialty of carnations and violets and 

 is well pleased with his sales. He now 

 grows but few roses, finding violets and 

 carnations far more profitable." 



EvANsviLLE, Ikd.— J. H. Wade & Co. 

 report: "Easter trade was about the 

 same as last year as regards prices. Cut 

 flowers were most in demand. Not much 

 call for plants except lilies, which did 

 not pan out as well as last year. In cut 

 flowers carnations were in the lead, with 

 roses a good second. Bulbous stuff was 

 slow sale, except daffodils. Supply of 

 both flowers and plants was equal to de- 

 mand. Quality fair to good. Good car- 

 nations are coming to the front with 

 both feet and hitting the ground hard. 

 Not the i to IJ-inch blooms, but the 2i 

 toS-ineh flowers, with good substance". 

 Flimsy stuff won't go, and stem must 

 be strong enough to carry the flower 

 erect. The people will not be satisfied 

 Avith less. Have had some good Jubilee 

 for red and Flora Hill for white. But 

 Hill does not seem to be a good grower, 

 being rather weak and shaky so far! 

 Perhaps it will do better later." 



WiLKESBARRE, Pa.— Business, as re- 

 ported from all florists, wholesale and 

 retail, 2.5 per cent in advance of last 

 year, and would have shown a greater 

 percentage if the weather had not been so 

 inclement. Roses plentiful and good; 

 carnations scarce and poor, but high in 

 price; lilies sold clean at 25 cents per 

 flower; hydrangeas not in as good demand 

 as other years; azaleas in good demand. 

 Eastern wholesale commission men, an- 

 ticipating a shortage in carnations, 

 refused to promise any quantity to retail 

 florists, promising hundreds where thou- 

 sands were asked for, but owing to the 

 heavy storm in cities took advantage of 

 orders on their books and shipped largely 

 to florists, who found themselves on Sat- 

 urday night and Sunday loaded down 



with some carnati 



ther antiquated, 



but still they were all cleaned up, and 

 by Monday refrigerators were emptied 

 and the Easter of 1901 was satisfactory 

 to both wholesaler and retailer. 



THE LAND OF THE OLIVE, 



The remainder of Mr. Herrington's es- 

 say on "The Land of the Olive," com- 

 menced last week, will appear in our 

 next issue. 



Madison, N. J.— The Morris County

 assembly rooms here, Nov. 5 and 6. Full 

 details may be had by addressing C. H. 

 Atkins, secretary, Madison, N. J. 



Atchison, Ivan. — Mangelsdorf Bros, 

 report Easter trade as the best they ever 

 had. All cut flow'ers were completely 

 cleaned up and the sale of pot plants 

 was very good especially of lilies.
