are low. Carnations are plentiful and 

 of good size, but they do not move fast. 

 Calla and Easter lilies are in fine con- 

 dition and sell well. • The demand for 

 valley is about as usual for this time of 

 the year and the quality is quite good. 

 Orchids are quite plentiful, but do not 

 move readily. The supply of roses 

 is satisfactory, and meets all demands. 

 American Beauties are not extra good, 

 but then there is no large demand for 

 them. Maryland, Sunburst, Ward, 

 Taft, Kaiserin and the Killarneys seem 

 to have a steady sale. Outdoor peonies 

 are coming in slowly. There is a pro- 

 fusion of yellow, white and purple 

 irises, which move fairly well. There 

 was no great call for snapdragons dur- 

 ing the last week or so. Some fine 

 America gladioli and baby types ar- 

 rive daily and sell nicely. Good mari- 

 golds reach us daily. Wallflowers move 

 somewhat slowly, but lemon lilies and 

 lilacs sell well. Some extra good hy- 

 drangeas and Boston ferns are seen at 

 the wholesale houses. 



Various Notes. 



Walter Mott, of Hammond's Paint 



The Raedlein Line of 



Hanging Baskets 



Is Ready 



Never before has there been so great a 

 demand for decorative hanging baskets 

 as now. We have them in all styles 

 and sizes, and you will do well to put in 

 a good stock to meet the heavy demand 

 that is sure to come.

William Ehmann, of Corfu, is cutting 

 some good America gladioli, which find 

 a ready market here. 



Cecil Lester, of the Geo. B. Hart

George T. Boucher has a good selec- 

 tion of bedding plants at his store. Mr. 

 Boucher says trade is good. 



A. C. Arend recently purchased from 



Frank McLuis the flower store at the 

 corner of Clinton avenue and Main 

 street. He is doing fairly well and is 

 working up a good patronage. 



The wholesale house of which George 

 B. Hart is proprietor is undergoing 

 extensive alterations. Erected about 

 two years ago,' with an up-to-date re- 

 frigerating system, it has proved itself 

 to be inadequate to mieet the needs of 

 the business, which is growing rapidly.
