Generally speaking, trade is not what 

 might be expected at this season of the 

 year. The sudden change of tempera- 

 ture Easter week, from a cold, raw 

 "norther" to almost midsunnner heat, 

 and which apparently has eonie to stay, 

 has had a demoralizing efi'cet both on 

 the cut flower trade and quality of stock. 

 Surely, the growers ought to "feel satis- 

 fied with the past winter's business; 

 they were able to demand their own 

 price, and there has been a steady de- 

 mand for everything salable. 



Cut flowers are more plentiful, with 

 roses rather in oversupply. The best 

 can be bought for $3 and' $.5 per 100. 

 There are none too many carnations; 

 they retail from 30 to "oO cents per 

 dozen; violets were a favorite to the fin- 

 ish. 



Ed. Bunyar and Alfred Broman, of 

 Independence, Mo., had great success 

 with a late crop of violets. A shipment 

 received here as late as May 1 was of 

 excellent, quality. 



We have had very little springlike 

 weather and no rain in three weeks, 

 which proved disastrous to early vegeta- 

 tion and outside bulbous stock. Last 

 year the display of tulips on the "Paseo" 

 was a glorious sight and attracted thou- 

 sands of visitors, but this year the dis- 

 play is disappointing. 



One of our enterprising department 

 stores has been experimenting with 

 the cut flower business since Easter. 

 Large shipments of roses of an inferior 

 grade were received daily and adver- 

 tised as choice stock for 50 cents per 

 dozen. A thriving business was done 

 for a few days with the unsuspecting 

 mortals both in and out of town, but 

 the venture was short-lived. Some peo- 

 ple are wiser, and the florist probably 

 the most benefited in the outcome. 



Visitors the past week were: A spruce 

 looking \(mM^' man. W. H. Danman by 

 name, froni Pleasant Hill, Mo., who was 

 on his w:i\ (o r'..l,.i;i.lo Springs to fill 

 a position unli \li i hirk of that place; 

 Wm. Wirt, ni l':ii-,iii,, Kan., who was 

 looking for ,L'i<iiili,,r)„. material to in- 

 crease his plant the coming summer, 

 and a representative of the Dayton Pa-

Orangeville, Md. — W. H. Reinhardt 

 has formed a partnership with his father 

 and purchased greenhouses here. The 

 firm name will be H. Reinhardt & Son. 



Burlington, Ia. — N. J. Burt & Co. 

 are coming into direct competition with 

 the government. They have ofTered to 

 give free any kind of garden seeds to 

 any one who cannot afford to buy. 



EVAN.SVILLE. Ind. — The wife of ^Mr. J. 

 D. Carmody died April 28 in a sanita- 

 rium at Chicago, where she had been 

 taken to undergo a surgical operation. 

 The remains were brought to this city 

 and interred in Oak Hill cemetery. Mr. 

 Carmody has the sympathy of all."
