Trade Conditions. 



Demand has been large and steady 

 and good stock scarce. Weather con- 

 tinues very cold. Violets are the only 

 thing of which there is a surplus. 

 Bulbous stock is moving very well. 

 Harrisii are still scarce. Blooming 

 plants sell well, but delivery during 

 such severe weather is perilous. 



We notice quite an inclination to or- 

 der colored flowers for funeral pur- 

 poses. This tendency should be en- 

 couraged until the public are educated 

 to appreciate flowers of all colors on 

 all occasions. One of the prettiest fu- 

 neral tokens the writer ever saw was 

 a flat bouquet of six dozen Meteor 

 roses tied with cream ribbon. Another 

 design for the same funeral was a 

 crescent wreath of Wootton roses. 



Notes. 



L. L. May & Co. have a very promis- 

 ing red sport from the Mrs. Bradt 

 carnation. 



R. C. Seeger is cutting some very 

 fine Brides, Maids and Woottons laid 

 is justly entitled to rank among our 

 best growers. 



John A. May is handling some very 

 choice stock of roses and carnations 

 mostly shipped in from Chicago 



The Florists' Club will meet on Sat- 

 urday evening, Feb. 11th, at the Ryan 

 hotel. The legislative committee have 

 already introduced a bill to stop and 

 prevent institutions supported by the 

 state from selling plants and flowers 



Recent callers: H. C. Agnew of Ag- 

 news, Cal.; Mr. Goodwin, of Chicago, 

 and H. A. Johns, of the Siou.x City 

 Nursery & Seed Co.
