Mention The Renew when yon write. 



The cut of roses is normal and no 

 greater than the demand. Excellent 

 violets, locally grown, are plentiful. 

 Easter lilies and callas are offered 

 freely. A few sweet peas are shown. 

 Golden Spur daffodils are nearly gone 

 and the first Sir Watkin have appeared. 

 Nurserymen and the catalogue houses 

 offering nursery stock are rushed with 

 orders. 



Various Notes. 



Among the downtown florists and 

 their employees a great deal of interest 

 is taken in the hockey contests at the 

 ice hippodrome. One florist has a black 

 eye, the result of a wild drive by one 

 of the players. 



On testing the single violets now on 

 the market, it was discovered that they 

 would cover the face of a silver dollar, 

 with an eighth of an inch or more to 

 spare on each petal. 



Clarke Bros, are displaying a fine pair 

 of potted white magnolias in full bloom. 



Gene Eobinson said he lost a few 

 lights of glass during the storm. He 

 brought in his heaviest cut of carna- 

 tions before the last decline in prices. 



A display of several good-sized set- 

 pieces at the' store of Martin & Forbes 

 Co. elicited an inquiry as to whose 

 funeral they were for. "They are for 

 a cullud pusson, " replied Mr, Forbes. 

 He added that there were but few such 

 pieces ordered now, compared with the 

 demand for them a few years ago. 



As a result of the action of the Port- 

 land Floral Society, several articles 

 prepared by the committee have ap- 

 peared in the Sunday papers. 



William Borsch, of Hillsdale, has been 

 confined to his home with a severe at- 

 tack of sciatica. His condition is im- 

 proving. S. W. W. 



GABDENEBS' ESSAY CONTEST. 



Chairman William H. Waite, of the 

 committee on essays and horticultural 

 instruction of the National Association 

 of Gardeners, has appointed Edwin Jen- 

 kins, of Lenox, Mass.; William Downs, 

 of Chestnut Hill, Mass.; Arthur Smith, 

 of Reading, Pa.; William J. Stewart, 

 of Boston, and J. Harrison Dick, of 

 New York, judges of the gardeners' 

 essay contest. The report of the judges 

 will be made public at the National 

 Flower Show at Philadelphia, March 28. 



President W. N, Craig offers $25 as 

 a first prize, $15 as a second prize and 

 $10 as a third prize in a new contest 

 for assistant gardeners, on any subject 

 pertaining to horticulture, but limited 

 to 2,500 words. The contest will close 

 November 1 and the winner will be an- 

 nounced at the annual convention of 

 the association in December. The essay 

 committee shortly will i^ue the rules 

 regulating this contest. 



O' Fallon, HI.— Fred Seibel, 35 years 

 old, is in a serious condition at his home 

 as the result of attempting to take his 

 life with a revolver March 2. Mr. Seibel 

 was married a few months ago. A 

 physician said he had a chance for re- 

 covery. 



Detroit, Mich.— Albert Pochelon, of 

 the Bemb Floral Co., and Joseph Muel- 

 ler, of the Julius Roehrs Co., Ruther- 

 ford, N. J., cooperated in the exhibition 

 of orchids given at the Bemb store 

 March 1 and 2. Lectures on "Orchids 

 and How to Grow Them" were given. 

 Printed invitations were mailed to pa- 

 trons of the companies.
