W%t IClClFI I Ci ^^ ^^^ growing the finest Russelis arriving in this 

 ■^^^^^'^■^^^'^ market. All . visitors to the greenhouses in this district 

 say that our Russelis are the best to be found. 



We cut our -flowers tight in the bud, as the majority of our trade is shipping. Flowers that 

 are sold mostly to the city trade are allewed to open more than for the shipping- trade. 



«We*have the regular varieties of Roses in 'I'arge quantities, »eceiving them directftrom the ^een- 

 houses within a few hours of being cut, which enables us to fill all orders with strictly fresh stock. 

 This is the great advantage of buying direct of the grower.

The Market. 



The general report is that business 

 last week was good. The conditions as 

 to supply of stock remained about the 

 same, except that one or two items ar- 

 rived more plentifully. The prices on 

 good roses ranged from 2 to 8 cents, the 

 offerings consisting chiefly of Kiliarney, 

 White Kiliarney, Ward, Eichmond, 

 Ophelia, Cecile Brunner and Sweetheart 

 roses. Gorgeous American Beauties ex- 

 perienced a lively sale. 



Easter and rubrum lilies and valley 

 retain their reputation of the season for 

 scarcity and stiff prices. As antici- 

 pated, there are a great many more 

 mums offered, including the pompons. 

 Plants of cyclamens and primroses have 

 been conspicuous, but the cyclamens as 

 yet are rather small, flower sparsely 

 and are high-priced. Plumosos, Spren- 

 geri and adiantum are in adequate 

 supply. 



There has been a cold snap, accom- 

 panied by a liberal fall of snow, and

this undoubtedly has stimulated busi- 

 ness and started fall business with a 

 vigorous push. The first cold "weather 

 marked the commencement of social 

 activities for the season. 



Various Notes. 



Eice Bros, have enlarged their store 

 by erecting a balcony at the rear and 

 moving the office from the main floor 

 to the midway floor. 



The W. H. Bofferding Co. has taken 

 possession of its new store, but finds it 

 difficult to settle down comfortably, as 

 the workmen still have a number of 

 things to finish. 



About thirty young women employed 

 by Northrup, King & Co. were poisoned 

 last week. The cause has not been as- 

 certained, but some of the officers be- 

 heve the poisonous agent was in candy 

 eaten by the workers. The drinking
