OOIiUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



Business keeps up well and there is 

 a good supply of stock coming in. Boses 

 are more plentiful and some extra fine 

 stock is to be seen, especially of Sun- 

 burst, Ophelia and Richmond, which are 

 showing up well and give indications 

 for good crops from now until after 

 Easter. Beauties are scarce and the 

 demand for them is not extra heavy. 

 It seems that there is a falling off in 

 both the supply and demand for Beau- 

 ties, and it begins to look as if some 

 other variety will have to replace them 

 in a short time. Carnations are fine, 

 but the quantity is a trifle small and 

 they are cleared nicely as a rule. 



Lilies are more plentiful and many 

 are disposed of in funeral work, which 

 continues heavy. Bulbous stock is not 

 80 plentiful and it looks as if there will 

 be a shortage later on. Sweet peas hold 

 their own both in quantity received and 

 sold, and as a rule they are about 

 equal to the demand. The quality is 

 good. Valley is scarce, with the de- 

 mand varying at times. Sometimes it 

 is hard to get enough to fill orders. 



Potted plants have been moving nicely 

 and many of them have been disposed 

 of. Azaleas, lilacs, hyacinths, tulips, 

 spiraeas, rhododendrons, primulas, etc., 

 come in for their share of the business. 

 ■Greens are exceedingly scarce and th^re 

 will be no surplus for some time 'to 

 come. There will have to be an increase 

 in plantings* of greens to meet the de- 

 mand, which is considerably heavier. 



Various Notes. 



Messrs. Livingston and Brownwell, of 

 the Livingston Seed Co., attended the 

 show at Philadelphia, but at the present 

 writing they have made no report of 

 their trip. 



Samuel Graff is going to move from 

 his present location about June 1 to the 

 opposite side of the street, a little to 

 the east. 



Underwood Bros, report business as 

 being good, e8j>ecially in funeral work, 

 of which they have had their share. 



E. Metzmaier reports heavy business 

 in funeral work and says he has had 

 no surplus bulbous stock this season. 



The Wilson Seed Co. is busy in all 

 lines and looks for a good spring 

 business. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is 

 hustling to have things in shape for the 

 spring rush and reports a better supply 

 of geraniums than ever before, with 

 other stock looking well. 



The Stephens & Son auto delivery is 

 busy with city orders, and the store 

 force has everything in readiness for 

 the spring rush. J. M.
