ST. PAUL, MINN. 



Condition of the Market. 



Trade is good — not booming, but ttie 

 marliet has a healthy tone, and com- 

 plaints of "poor sales" and "hard 

 times" are seldom heard from either 

 growers or store men. 



Stock is of good quality, with a fair 

 supply; about equal to the demand. 

 There is a disposition with most 

 growers to hold everything possible 

 for Easter. Bulbous stock is thus be- 

 ing held, the supply at present being 

 somewhat short. The supply of Easter 

 stock is somewhat problematical, 

 though most likely large enough for 

 the demand, excepting Harrisii. The 

 small number planted and the havoc 

 wrought by the disease have reduced 

 the V'sible supply, and prices are like- 

 ly to rule very high at the near ap- 

 proach of Easter. 



Smilax is scarce, while the future 

 supply is uncertain. Early in the sea- 

 son this article was very plentiful and 

 cheap.' Carnations will also be scarce 

 for Easter. Roses and violets will be 

 in fair supply. 



Advance price lists quote roses for 

 Easter at retail, $2 per dozen; carna- 

 tions, 75 cents: violets, ?3 per 100; 

 Harrisii, $3 per dozen; valley tulips. 

 Narcissus, and other bulbous stock, 75 

 cents per dozen. 



MESSRS. LANGHANS & CO., of 

 Allegheny, Pa., are issuing some very 

 attractive printed matter to their retail 

 customers. A specimen pamplilet just 

 received is entitled, "Flowers and Flor- 

 al Decorations for the Easter Season," 

 and ought to prove a very effective, 

 seasonable advertisement for this en- 

 terprising firm.

Use Economy and 

 Make Your Own Pots 



THE COW MANURE POE is the best in the world for 

 voiing plants. For bedding and sending of 

 plants it is the best thing ever invented. The cow 

 manure forces the plant and makes it healtliier. 

 You do not need to disturb tlie roots in getting 

 them out as vou do in the clay pots. It is espec- 

 ially recommended for the sending of plants, as 

 the plant does not have to be taken out of pot. 

 For bedding all you have to do is to squeeze the 

 bottom of pot and set out m bed. It never stays 

 the plant, it holds the moisture better, especially 

 if you have a dry summer. The pots stand water- 

 ing in greenhouse and hotbed. Fvery i,Mrclener 

 needs one of these machines Single machine. 2-in. 

 pots. $4.50. Double machine. 2 and 3-in. pots, $5.
