MACOMB, ILL.— Mr. E. H. Smith 

 has recently sold out his stock and 

 greenhouses and will retire from the 

 business. 



ST. PAUL. 



Trade conditions improved with the 

 passing away ot the cold wave, which 

 paralyzed growers and dealers alike. 

 Stock is more plentiful and of better 

 quality and trade is improving daily, 

 notwithstanding Lent. The growers 

 were all prepared for the cold wave, 

 and while stock was not benefited and 

 the fuel bill more than doubled, no se- 

 vere damage has been reported. 



There is a good demand for flower- 

 ing plants, palms, ferns, etc., while 

 the call for funeral flowers is on the 

 increase. 



Violets continue very plentiful and 

 cheap; prices on other stock well 

 maintained. Bulbous stuff is quite 

 plentiful and low prices prevail. 



Tulips, daffodils. Paper Whites and 

 Von Sions sell at $2 to $3 per 100. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club met at the Ryan 

 Hotel February 11. Owing to the in- 

 tense cold the attendance was not as 

 large as usual; still, a very enjoyable 

 session was held. 



Mr. Monson, foreman for C. A. 

 Smith, Minneapolis, exhibited a vase 

 of two dozen roses, which would be 

 hard to beat. Varieties shown were: 

 Bride, Maid, President Carnot, La

UNCLE WALTER — This is another one of 

 Tidal Wave's many sports and I presume it is the- 

 same and just as good as any of its other ones. I 

 can vouch for its goodness and that it is a scarlet 

 sport from Tidal Wave. Rooted Cuttings can be
