There was a 

 WASHINGTON niarkt-d Imjirove- 



nient in llie condi- 

 tion of the in.irUet last week for the 

 several cold days shortened the sup- 

 ply of flowers of all kinds and made 

 the demand somewhat lietler. Carna- 

 tions are again at $4 per hundred. 

 I.ily of the valley is <|Mite plenliful 

 and the same may lie said of cattleyas 

 for the price on the latter is about $4 

 per dozen. .American Beauty roses 

 remain very scarce with hardiv 

 enough to go around. Single violets 

 constitute an oversupiily and the price 

 in quantities is very low. Freesia has 

 also dropped in price. Narcissi and 

 tulips are much improved in quality.

OBITUARY. 

 Carlman Ribsam. 

 Carlman Ribsam, a well known Tren- 

 ton, N. J., florist, died at his home, 

 Jan. 30th. aged 79 years. He was born 

 in Germany and came to this country 

 in 1855. In 1874 he opened a flower 

 store at 45 E. State street. He retired 

 from active business twelve years ago. 

 He is survived by three sons. 



Tfiii pklu,c icas taken right after a 

 blizzard, and proves conclusively that 

 our style of 'onstruction is positively 

 ice-clearing. 



This full iron frame, curved eave 

 JACOBS' GREENHOUSE, was com- 

 pletely erected, including ventilaUon 

 and heating system, by our own ex- 

 pert mechanics, for Mr. Chas. Bradley 

 at Convent, New Jersey. 



This greenhouse is 25 x 85 ft., and has 

 a partition in the middle, making two 

 distinct and separate compartmenU, 

 with separate heating systems, so that 

 different temperatures may be main- 

 tained in botli sections. 



WE KNOW WHAT TO DO 

 AND WHAT NOT TO DO 



If you contemplate building a 

 greenhouse write us — we can 

 save money for you.
