DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH 

 VIOLET. 



Several imiuiries regarding the Duch- 

 ess of Marlborough violet, quoted in 

 our San Francisco news letter, were 

 sent us, and these were forwarded to 

 our San Francisco correspondent, who 

 replies as follows: 



"In answer to your letter of March 

 :!d concerning Duches.s of Marlborough 

 violet, would say it is a grand violet, 

 with fine fragrance, long, stiff stems, in 

 color a rich magenta, and it keeps well. 

 It also has the good quality of being 

 a late violet; that is, gcod, large, sala- 

 ble flowers can be picked from the 

 plants when the Princess of Wales and 

 California are almost worthless, it 

 stands the warm spring weather so 

 well. 



"Mr. Thomas Stevenson, The London 

 Florist, is the gentleman that has it 

 and the only grower here who has a 

 stock. He obtained his stock from 

 Sutton & Sons, Kent, England. He 

 thinks so well of the violet that he has 

 just completed a plantation of two 

 acres of the Duchess. Its market value 

 is double that of the Princess of Wales 

 at retail just now. The Princess sells 

 at 25 cents per bunch, while the Duch- 

 ess sells for .50 cents a bunch. Our 

 bunches in this market contain from 

 75 to 100 blooms. 



"The violet is a new one in this mar- 

 ket and is quickly bought up. The pub- 

 lic seem to know a good thing when 

 they see it, hence the high price. Mr. 

 Stevenson says he will have plants 

 ready in about two months from this 

 date at 25 cents per plant and will be 

 glad to supply any one desiring stock." 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The ouster proceedings instituted 

 against Miss Hester Getz, the florist, by 

 Cross & Co. have been decided in favor 

 of the latter. The store space was 

 leased to Florist Roth. 



During the progress of the trial the 

 revenue stamp question proved one of 

 the leading features, the question be- 

 ing raised as to the time the stamps 

 were placed on the document.
