Gentlemen:— Our experionoe in seed geriuiiiating is that Jacloo is far superior to soil. We 

 raise Coleuses, Primulas, Cyclamens, Carnations, in fact a complete list of stove and greenhouse plants, also seed. 

 and the results have been so far aliead of anytliing: we have had from seed sown in soil that we 

 are more thap satisfle«l witli .Tadoo for tliis purpose. We are unable to tell what per cent, germinated, 

 as we keep no record of the number of seeds planted; all we know is that the results were very satis- 

 factory. Yours truly,

CLEVELAND. 



Business Is steadily increasing with 

 prices consequently advancing. Good 

 mums are scarce. Carnations are not 

 too plentiful and sell for $1.50 and $2. 

 Roses are arriving in good condition 

 and bring from $.3 to $6. Violets are 

 in lively demand and realize $2 per 

 100. 



Thanksgiving day trade wa.s very 

 satisfactory, an improvement over for- 

 mer years. This holiday is getting to 

 be quite a cut-flower day. The present 

 is a very busy week in Cleveland, ow- 

 ing to several swell weddings.

MADISON, WIS.— The palm swind- 

 ler paid a visit to this city and suc- 

 ceeded in securing a quantity of palms 

 from Fred Rentschler. The usual plan 

 of ordei'ing the palms sent to the resi- 

 . dence of a woll-known citizen was fol- 

 lowed, but to the people of the house 

 he said he was agent for a Milwaukee 

 florist and asked permission to leave 

 the palms in the yard till he could 

 .sell them in the neighborhood. Most 

 of the palms were recovered. 



ORANGEVILLE, 'WIS.— The annual 

 chrysanthemum show was very suc- 

 cessful. Mrs. E. R. Copeland, of Mon- 

 roe, Wis., read an excellent paper on 

 the chrysanthemum, prepared by Mrs. 

 Schoch. who had 50 fine plants on ex- 

 hibition.
