Antoine Luthy, of Boston, was here

 plant growers in a little over one day. 



Martin Reukauf is home again, and

Adolph Farenwald, vice-chairman of 

 the National Flower Show committee, 

 believes that the margin of profit of the 

 show held in this city MaTcli 25 to 

 April 2 will reach $2,000, setting a new 

 high-water mark for shows in this coun- 

 try. This is largely due, Mr. Faren- 

 wald says, to the fine work of the 

 publicitv and trade tickets committees.

The Market. 



As has been the case in previous 

 years, the florists were early sold out 

 of white carnations for Mothers' day 

 and were unable to replenish their 

 stocks to any great extent. The heavy 

 demand caused the price on all good 

 carnations to go to $8 per hundred. 

 Colored varieties cleaned up well and 

 the business was declared to be satis- 

 factory. The shipping trade to the 

 south was heavy. The weather has been 

 fairly cool and this made the carna- 

 tions better this year than usual at 

 this seasoh. 



There was not the glut of flowers last 

 week that had been present for some 

 time. Business was good in all items, 

 although prices were low. An addition 

 to the market are the peonies that are 

 beginning to come in from the south, 

 and these are moving well as a novelty 

 at from $5 to $10 per hundred. Violets

 demand for decorative hanging baskets
