The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



MARCH 



1898. 



weeks. The demand is good, but not 

 in excess of the supply. Roses are be- 

 coming more plentiful, and have taken 

 a slight drop in price, although they 

 are still bringing fair figures. Car- 

 nations are also selling well and are 

 far from being a glut. Bulbous stock 

 is not moving so freely, especially lily 

 of the valley and daffodils, although 

 none to speak of is going to waste. 

 Prices on all stock except roses re- 

 main aljout the same as cjuoted last 

 week. 



A fine lot of novelty tulips, grown by 



George & Allen, find a ready sale at 



' as good a figure as that oljtained for 



the blooms of the more expensive 



bulbs. 



The Florist Club. 



The next regular meeting of the 

 Florist Club will be held on Saturday, 

 March 12. The exhibition on this date 

 will be a special carnation show, and 

 it is to be hoped that the out-of-town 

 brethren will contribute to its succes? 

 as they have done heretofore. Boxes 

 addressed to R. Witterstaetter. Fourth 

 and Walnut streets, will receive proper 

 care and attention.

Clear Cypress 

 Greenhouse flaterial. 



This with us means tlie best growth of Cypress Lumber and 

 the best grade of that growth; and from this grade all the sap — 

 bright sap, which only experts can detect — as well as stained sap, 

 knots and other defects cut out. Others do not equal our quality 

 if they do beat our prices. It is not hard to see the reason : You 

 can not buy gold dollars at fifty cents each. Expcienred growers 

 know that the best is not too good and cheapest in the long run.
