Trade Notes. 



For the past two weeks the weather 

 has been causing the florists great anx- 

 iety. From 70 degrees in the shade it 

 dropped next day below freezing, stayed 

 cold several days, then warmed up and 

 commenced to rain, and while it clears 

 up and the sun shines brightly for a 

 few hours at a time, occasionally it 

 changes to a pouring rain as easily as 

 a turtle slides off a log. Between drops 

 the boys all hurried the carnation crojis 

 into the field to get the benefits of the 

 weather, including a good soaking, and 

 they are now wondering if the plants 

 are not getting too much of a good 

 thing. 



Trade has continued fair, much better 

 than was to be expected, the weather 

 considered; shipping continues steady, 

 using up all flowers. Carnations are 

 blooming freely with prospects for a 

 fine crop Decoration Day. Koses, which 

 have been somewhat scarce, are now 

 more nearly equal to the demand. F.as- 

 ter lilies are still iu the market and 

 come in handy for funeral work. Car- 

 nations range in price from 2.5 to 50 

 cents per doz.; roses, .$1 to $1.2o per 

 doz. ; American Beauties, $1..50 to $:i 

 per doz. ; lilies, $1.50 per doz. 



There is a change of ailniinistratimi 

 which causes some .speculation as to 

 whether the superintendent of parks and 

 the sexton of cemeteries will not ho 

 changed. Both positions, particularly 

 the former, have been so ably filled tliat 

 the florists are averse to n change and 

 will so petition the mayor. The bcil- 

 ding in the city parks is equal to any 

 thing that can be s'cen in Chicago, lack- 

 ing the extcnsivoness of the Chicago 

 bedding, and a change would result dis- 

 astrously to the best interests of the 

 city. We hope W. L. Cukerski will be 

 retained as superintendent of parks, and 

 Jean Gobel as sexton of Valley City 

 and Oak Hill cemeteries.
