age, falls short of standard. Many 

 wholesalers report receipts of carna- 

 tions at least fifty per cent splits. Some 

 report a greater, others a lesser per- 

 centage.,, As shipping orders can easily 

 take care of all the really good stock, 

 •it takes alertness on the part of the 

 city buyers and salesmanship on the 

 part of the wholesalers to achieve their 

 respective ends. 



Bulbous stock is still plentiful enough, 

 but it is selling slowly. Southern jon- 

 quils are here in force, which does not 

 greatly improve matters. Romans are 

 gone. Paper Whites are rapidly reced- 

 ing from a position of prominence. 

 Cailas seem to have been touched by 

 some regenerating influence, for though 

 they have been arriving in quantity, 

 they are moving well and at a fair 

 price. Easter lilies, too, are extremely 

 plentiful, but there is no clamor for 

 them. An almost unabated supply of 

 violets arrives on the market, but the 

 demand for them has lost its zest. 

 Really excellent sweet peas remain de- 

 cidedly scarce, though stock of inferior 

 quality may be had with little difficulty. 

 Calendula is short. So, too, is snap- 

 dragon. The status of cattleyas re- 

 mains much the same. Valley is on 

 the seesaw of s^ipply and demand. 



The situation in Mexican ivy is eas- 

 ier. Greens in general are in normal 

 supply and move as well as the rest of 

 the market will permit. 



Chicago to Moline. 



There are no indications of a large 

 delegation of florists from Chicago to 

 the meeting of the Illinois State Flo- 

 rists' Association at Moline next week, 

 but several of the wholesalers and 

 houses in the allied trades will send 

 representatives, so that a fair-sized 

 party will take the train selected by 

 the Florists' Club's committee. The 

 party will leave the Rock Island sta- 

 tion. La Salle and "Van Buren streets, 

 March 7, at 10 a. m., due at Moline 

 1:53 p. m., the opening business session 

 being called at 2 p. m. that day. The 

 one-way fare is $3.58. There are no 

 party or other special rates on this trip. 



"No Admittance." 



The sign at the door of the great 



ROSES- 



of the Kennicott kind, with well developed heads, 

 stiff stems and clean foliage, are the center of 

 attraction even in a market that is no longer stiff. 



All Kennicott's Cuts are Quality Cuts, and worth 

 a good bit more than we are forced to ask at 

 the present time. 



Send in your order now— it's the time to make 

 big profits.
