The Market, 



Trade is a little more active than it 

 has been for the last few days, and 

 everything has the appearance that busi- 

 ness will soon be back to the normal. 

 There is a good demand for all kinds 

 of stock and everything is being closed 

 out well and at 'an advance in price 

 over last week. 



Beauties, which have been somewhat 

 a drug, are now moving better. Tea 

 roses are all sold out clean, and more 

 could easily be disposed of. Liberty and 

 Meteor are scarce. Carnations are com- 

 ing much better and are selling well, 

 especially white, which is in very good 

 demand. Bulbous stock is doing very 

 well. There is an active demand for 

 callas, and Ilarrisii are not far behind. 

 Romans do not move so well, but Paper 

 Whites are very good stock. Valley also 

 is going nicely. Violets have been very 

 poor property of late. At times they 

 could not be disposed of at any price. 

 At present the demand for them is more 

 active. All kinds of green goods arc 

 selling well, with the supply rather 

 limited. 



Various Notes. 



Most of the florists who were on the 

 sick list are now back at their posts and 

 all seem pretty glad to get back, too. 



Paul Dailledouze was in the city dur- 

 ing the past week. He was making a 

 rapid tour through the carnation belt 

 and stopped over here long enough to 

 make a few calls on our experts. He 

 left for Eiehmond, Ind. 



The funeral of ex-Governor Bushnell 

 brought forth many large funeral or- 

 ders. Nearly all of the florists had a 

 few orders to send to Springfield and 

 altogether the flowers sent amounted w-ay 

 up into the hundreds of dollars. The 

 wholesalers shipped a good many flowers 

 to the local florists, only the best stock 

 being used. 



The rose show given by the Florists ' 

 Society is scheduled for Saturday, Feb- 

 ruary 13. From present outlook it 

 will be the best ever held by the society. 

 The schedule is now out and can be ob- 

 tained by addressing the writer, at 113 

 East Third street. Several out-of-town 

 growers have signified their intention of 



making exhibits and I would like any- 

 one who has something that they are 

 doing in good shape to send a few 

 blooms along and let our boys see what it 

 is like. Do not forget the S. A. F. sil- 

 ver and bronze medals. They are well 

 worth having and our society has the 

 awarding of them. C. J. Ohmek. 



IS THE PRIMULA POISONOUS. 



Will you be kind enough to tell me 

 through the Eeview if Primula obconica 

 is a poisonous plant. H. M. B. 



Were this question asked of many 



florists who have handled the plant the 

 answer would be most decidedly that it 

 is poisonous. Bailey says of it, "loose- 

 hairy leaves, the sharp hairs often irri- 

 tating-poisonous. ' ' 



SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. 



Parties disseminating new plants of any 

 class for the first time this season are 

 respectfully requested to forward to the 

 secretary names and descriptions of 

 them, or marked copy of catalogue con- 

 taining such descriptions, so that a full 

 and accurate list of such novelties, with 

 the names of their introducers, may be 

 prepared for publication in the next an- 

 nual report of the society. 



Wm. .J. Stewart, Secretary, 



79 Milk St., Boston, Mass. 



New Albany, Ind. — A. Easmussen is 

 quite ill vrith typhoid fever. 



GovANSTOWN, Md.— The stable and 

 greenhouse of Alonzo Slaj^man were de- 

 stroyed by fire January 8, loss $700 with 

 no insurance. 



LocKPORT, N. Y.— The F. B. Lewis 

 greenhouses destroyed by fire January 8 

 are already being rebuilt. They are op- 

 erated by Clarence 0. Lewis, a son of 

 the owner. The burned houses contained 

 carnations and violets and the stock was 

 a total loss. 



Lake Geneva, Wis. — C. H. Gebhardt, 

 gardener for H. G. Selfridge, states that 

 the local newspaper report of the acci- 

 dent to his boiler and the resultant dam- 

 age to stock was greatly exaggerated. 

 The break in the boiler was only a small 

 crack and the stock did not suffer at all.
