The Robert Craig Co. has placed 

 Nephrolepis Smithii on the obtainable 

 list in the medium sizes. Until now 

 this sterling A-ariety has been hard to 

 get.

The Market. 



Business increased considerably last 

 week, due to the many decorative or- 

 ders. Almost every palm, fern and 

 decorative plant was used for the dis- 

 plays for the fashion show and for the 

 convention of the bankers held here. 

 Stock is arriving in large quantities 

 and the quality is improving each week. 

 The supply of outdoor stock is falling 

 off. Roses are more plentiful and bet- 

 ter prices are received. The Killarneys, 

 Ophelia and Russell are the leaders in 

 quantity. Beauties are increasing in 

 supply. iLilies and valley are plentiful 

 and of superior quality. Mums now are 

 down to normal prices. There are 

 plenty of late asters on the market and 

 they are of good qualitj'. Smilax is 

 fine and abundant. 



Various Notes. 



The Amateur Gardeners' Association 

 last week held its second annual flower 

 show at the Muehlebach hotel. The 

 displays represented the efforts of 

 seventy-two amateurs. Many of the ex- 

 hibits were quite good. The judging 

 was done by a number of florists and 

 seedsmen. 



Miss Elise Moseley, daughter of Mrs. 

 T. A. Moseley, was crowned queen by 

 the mayor in the floral and industrial 

 parade held across the state line. Miss 

 Moseley rode in a car entered by her 

 mother, who received first prize for the 

 best decorated car. White flowers and 

 ribbons were used. A large floral de- 

 sign was placed over the hood of the 

 car.
