The Market. 



Now that the bulbous stock is coming 

 into the market more freely, the prices 

 of other flowers are dropping and most 

 of them have reached the average for 

 this time of the year. There is a slight 

 scarcity of roses, however, and the 

 price of these is high, though consid- 

 erably lower than a few weeks ago. 

 Calla lilies are more plentiful than a 

 month ago and bring a good price. 

 Easter lilies also are more abundant 

 and of good quality. Stocks are be- 

 coming more plentiful. Blooming 

 plants have sold well during the last 

 two weeks and there continues to be a 

 good demand for ferns. The Valentine 

 business was satisfactory, as a rule, 

 but business is a trifle quiet outside of 

 funeral work. There is less social work 

 than usual this year. 



Vaxious Notes. 



Jacob H. Harvey, who has been ill 

 with the grip for the last five or six 

 weeks, has gone to Atlantic City for a 

 couple of weeks, accompanied by Mrs. 

 Harvey. 



Philips Bros, had a good week of 

 funeral work and orders for wedding 

 decorations. Special Valentine's day 

 boxes and baskets sold well. 



Henry A. Strobell made a specialty 

 of flower valentines and reports a good 

 business. 



George Penek had a unique F. T. D. 

 window display last week. In one 

 corner of the window, near the front, 

 was a small table upon which was a 

 telegraph key. Seated in a chair was 

 a doll, representing an operator. "Wires 

 ran from this key to a telegraph pole 

 about three and one-half feet high. 

 Several other poles carried the wires to 

 the opposite corner of the window, 

 where there was another table, tele- 

 graph apparatus and operator. Near 

 the apparatus at the front of the window 

 was a sign with these words: "Flow- 

 ers delivered anywhere in the United 

 States and Canada on two hours' no- 

 tice." E. B. M. 



Hancock, Mich. — Mrs. Oscar Ongie 

 has sold her florists' business to the 

 A. M. York estate, which does a large 

 business in seeds, nursery stock and 

 cut flowers.

PLANT TUBS 



EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE CEDAR 



HVERYBODY agrees that Plant Tubs made of 

 everlasting^ Viri^inia White Cedar will 

 best resist rot or decay. The "Keystone" brand 

 of White Cedar Plant Tubs are made of this cele- 

 brated wood, and these goods are painted inside 

 and out with best oil paints, a rich green. 



They are bound with heavy steel hoops for the large 

 size, and electric- welded wire hoops (galvanized) 

 on the small size. The large sizes are trimmed 

 with handsome drop handles and metal feet, and 

 have perforated, removable bottoms. 



These Cedar Tubs are made in all sizes, from 24|i<' 

 inches top diameter down to 6 inches, amply large 

 for a Bay Tree and small enough for a Hyacinth. 

 Every one guaranteed. Booklet in colors, with 

 prices, fnmished upon request.
