The Market 



January was a banner month, accord- 

 ing to general reports. There was an 

 increase in funeral work of about fifty 

 per cent. Market conditions are grad- 

 ually becoming normal. The extreme 

 scarcity of stock soon will be relieved. 

 Bulbous stock is plentiful. There are 

 large quantities of jonquils, and tulips 

 and hyacinths are more plentiful than 

 they have been. Boses still are scarce, 

 but a larger supply is expected this 

 week. The prices on carnations have 

 dropped. Sweet peas are scarce and 

 violets are plentiful and in good de- 

 mand. Taken as a whole, the supply of 

 cut flowers still is short of the demand. 



Various Kotee. 



E. Frandsen had another freeze in 

 his greenhouses, the second within ten 

 days, in which he lost practically all 

 his stock. 



Mr. Parker, president of the Geo. M. 

 Kellogg Flower & Plant Co., has pneu- 

 monia, and Miss Brown of the store 

 force, is confined to her home with the 

 grip. The annual meeting of the stock- 

 holders of this concern was held at 

 Pleasant Hill. 



E. Odom, with W. J. Barnes, rejoices 

 in the arrival, January 24, of a 9-pound 

 baby girl. 



Claude Huckleberry is again back at 

 the greenhouses of J. Austin. 



John Jones, who was rose grower at 

 the greenhouses of the W. L. Rock 

 Flower Co., but lately with the Magic 

 Fertilizer Co., now is with the Cochrane 

 Packing Co. 



T. J. Noll's cat won a first and a 

 second prize at a recent cat show. 

 Mr. Noll reports a big increase in the 

 supply of carnations and lilies, and 

 says an increase in roses is looked for 

 next week. 



Miss (Lou Boggess was especially 

 busy last week with funeral work. 



A. F. Barbe is growing 2,500 lily 

 plants for the spring trade. He is cut- 

 ting an excellent crop of carnations. 



H. Smith, who makes a specialty of 

 bulbous stock, is sending in excellent 

 tulips and hyacinths to this market. 

 He is cutting high-grade Golden Spur 

 narcissi. 



Biedermann & Son have about half 

 their space devoted to bedding stock, 

 which looks promising. 



Visitors last week were James B. 

 Foley, of Chicago; C. H. Perkins, of 

 the Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, 

 N. Y. W. J. B. 



Logan, Utah.— The Cache Valley Flo- 

 ral Co. has moved into its new store 

 at 31 Federal avenue.

SQUARE DIRT BANDS. 



Very soon every live florist will make 

 free use of square dirt bands in plant 

 growing. The advantages of square 

 bands over round pots are so evident 

 that none can afford to pass them by. 

 Better plants, less trouble, less water, 

 less space, more soil, are a few favor- 

 able points. 



The next step is to get the best band. 

 Our BEADY-USE is the "last thing" 

 in square bands. It is ready for the 

 plant. If you have spare time for 

 folding, our plain bands will answer 

 the same purpose. Send postal for free 

 samples.

Square dirt bands add greatly to the 

 profit and pleasure of plant growing. 

 Double the amount of soil to same 

 bench space, and half the amount of 

 water as clay pots require, are only 

 two of many good points. Send for 

 free samples today and get in touch 

 with the newest and best SQUABE 

 DIBT BAND. "The best band in 

 the land," is the way one enthusiast 

 puts it. 



If you don't know the value of dirt 

 bands begin by putting your carnation 

 plants into size two or two and one- 

 half inch. You will forever sing praises 

 to the square band. They take care of 

 all plants just as well, and anything 

 that grows in a pot will grow better 

 in a band.

 orders cash. Satisfaction guaranteed.
