WIKKEB OF THE FBESIDENT McKIITI.EY FSIZE 

 at the KANSAS CITT SHOW. 



(First on introduction of 1901, at Kansas City) is certainly proving our claims for it and consequently 

 a moneymaker for the groover. It commands the highest price. Our stock is large and in grand 

 shape. Xo order is too large IT too small for us to fill. 85.00perl00: $40.00 per IIXIO. 

 Write for prices on Rooted Cuttings of Worway, White Cloud, Hoosler Maid, Iiawson, Crane, America, Genevieve Iiord and Marquis.

Market Conditions. 



Business was rather quiet the first 

 week after the holidaj's, especially the 

 retail trade, then the wholesale business 

 started in with a rush and has re- 

 mained steady ever since, with retail 

 trade fair. Carnations and violets are 

 the only flowers that are sufficiently 

 plentiful to meet the demand, with red 

 carnations scarce and white none too 

 plentiful. Roses are completely off crop. 

 Harrisii lilies are in fair supply, while 

 there are a few paper whites and other 

 bulbous stock to be seen at the stores. 



Prices: Carnations, 35 to 50 cents 

 per dozen; roses, $1 per dozen; callas 

 and Harrisii, $2 per dozen; violets, 15 

 to 25 cents per dozen, and of good qual- 

 ity. 



The weather has been mild until Sat- 

 urday, when another blizzard struck us. 

 The outlook for a coal famine is good; 

 should a snowstorm arise to impede rail- 

 road traffic the coal supply would be ex- 

 hausted in one week, and what then — 

 freeze out. 



The annual pilgrimage of the drum- 

 mer has begun ; one from the Ionia Pot- 

 tery Co. and a representative from \V. 

 W. Barnard & Co. were here the past 

 week. G. F. C. 



RICHMOND, IND. 



At the last meeting of the Richmond 

 Florists' Club there was a full attend- 

 ance and roses was the subject for discus- 

 sion. Mr. James Hartshorne, manager 

 of the Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111., 

 was present and favored the club with 

 an interesting impromptu address. The 

 discussion on roses will be continued at 

 the next meeting. 



A committee consisting of John Ev- 

 ans, Homer Schepman, Geo. Gauze, Ed 

 Fulle and Charles Knopf was appointed 

 by President Lemon as an entertainment 

 committee, to look after the comfort and 

 welfare of all visiting florists on the oc- 

 casion of the American Carnation So- 

 ciety's meeting, at Indianapolis, Feb. 19, 

 and the secretary was instructed to in- 

 form all through the trade papers that 

 all visitors to Richmond would be met 

 at the train by the committee, upon no- 

 tifying the chairman of the committee, 

 John Evans, as to the time of their prob- 

 able arrival. 



The entertainment committee will pre- 

 pare a program and report to the club 

 at a meeting to be called by President 

 Lemon before the meeting at Indianapo- 

 lis. H. C. Chessman, Secretary. 



Chabiton, Ia. — At the meeting of the 

 Southwest Iowa Florists' Association, re- 

 cently held here, officers were elected as 

 follows: President, J. F. Wilcox, Coun- 

 cil Bluffs; financial secretary, C. G. An- 

 derson, Red Oak; corresponding secre- 

 tary, I. C. Hon, Creston. The next meet- 

 ing will be held in Des Moines.
