too, for another week would have given 

 us fruit trees in bloom and that would 

 surely have meant that there would be 

 no fruit this season. As it is, no harm 

 was done, though the ground froze an 

 inch deep last night. The demand for 

 flowers was sufficiently heavy bo that 

 there were not enough in the city to 

 go around and the northern wholesal- 

 ers were called upon for part of the 

 stock. Still, increasing quantities of 

 good stock are coming in. All of the 

 growers are endeavoring to have every- 

 thing at its best for the late Easter, 

 and of course this means that the cut 

 of roses is smaller at this time. Propa- 

 gating is going forward rapidly, and 

 there promise to be some pretty good 

 stocks of roses, carnations and chrys- 

 anthemums for the trade this season. 

 In fact, our growers are doing more 

 of this kind of business every year. 

 Dutch bulbous stock has the center 

 of the stage, as far as pot plants go. 

 The quality is nothing to brag about, 

 for the bulbs this year have not pro- 

 duced as good flowers as they should. 

 Still, they are selling, and it would be 

 hard to get along without them at this 

 time of year. It is pleasing to note 

 that more of the better varieties of 

 tulips are grown this spring than usual. 



Various Notes. 



Haury & Sons had their new store 

 looking even better than usual last 

 week. They are offering a nice line 

 of pot plants and bulbous stock. At 

 the greenhouses everyone is busy get- 

 ting ready for the spring trade. 



The Joy Floral Co. continues to ar- 

 range the most attractive windows in 

 the business district. This week it was 

 a fancily decorated table, with wed- 

 ding decorations containing electric 

 light bulbs. A costumed figure, bor- 

 rowed from one of the department 

 stores, completed the picture. They 

 say business is increasing with the pub- 

 licity these windows bring. 



Mr. Vantil, of Vantil-Hartman, Hol- 

 land, was in this city last week. He 

 reports that on the whole the volume 

 of business in bulbs is fully as good 

 as that of last year. 



Joe Brown seems to be doing an un- 

 usually heavy business this spring. He 

 is selling quantities, of treea and 

 shrubs, as, well as privet for hedges, 

 il^ejiy Bros, continue to have plenty
