West Chester, Pa. — Hoopes Bro. & 

 Thomas have had a nice sale on their set 

 of new hardy climbing roses. The stuck 

 is in i\. mostlj planted in the open ground

WESTERN PROSPECTS. 



A. L. Brooke, president of the Western 

 Lsso iation of Wholesale Nurserymen, 

 writes from North Topeka, Kan., as fol- 

 low - : 



Trade during the fall of 1902 was 

 stronger than at any time previous, at 

 least for years. Buving for spring of 

 1903 was brisk. Long prices were of 

 Eered in some instances for apple and 

 were refused. The holder afterwards 

 found his market for these same trees 



this spring seemed to be reversed and 

 the market opened weak, but seemed to 



ii.ieiii to use up all the surplus. There 

 i- no -tuck of : 1 1 1 \ kind held over at this 

 center of trade. Trade on apple seed- 

 lings was brisk and all stock found buy- 

 ers Prices on seedlings foi fall will 

 advance. Apple will be some lowei than 

 last season. Other ' stock "ill ranee 

 about as last year. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 

 At last the first real hot 



llmw 



mam I for funeral work, especially out 

 door stock. 



Roses are about the same as last week 

 the supply being just about equal to Hi 

 demand. There are quantities of secom 

 and third grade roses, especially pin! 

 ones, bui as a rule thej find a good niai 



ket. 



ud. The supply is about equal to tl 

 mand and the quality is very goo. 

 riiations in the field are iloiiiLt Hi 

 is season. Some growers report tin 



their plants at the present time are as 

 large as thej were when housed last 

 year. Plenty of rain and cool weathei 

 did the business. 



Sweet peas are now a glut. The out- 

 door stock is in full blast and the com- 

 mission houses are full of them. Longi- 

 florum lilies are about over in this mar- 

 ket. A few candidum are still to be had 



plumosus i- also procurable. Eastern 

 ferns arrive in fine shape and have al- 

 most entirely taken the place of the- 

 southern or so-called western variety, 

 which is much coarser. 

 Notes.

 ists' society to net rate- to the S. A. F.
