Heavy funeral work kept the force busy 

 early and late. 



"Business never was better with 

 downtown retailers," stated S. B. 

 Stewart, of Stewart 's Seed Store. ' * We 

 turned out almost as many orders Satur- 

 day, February 10, as we did at any time 

 around the holidays." 



A. Hooge, who has conducted a store 

 under the name of The Fernery for the 

 last two years, has disposed of his busi- 

 ness to C. E. Baldwin. It is the inten- 

 tion of the new owner to greatly in- 

 crease the floor space of the store and, 

 besides handling cut flowers and plants, 

 he will carry a full line of bulbs, seeds 

 and nursery stock. 



F. H. Swanson suffered some damage 

 to stock during the memorable blizzard. 

 Janousek Bros., of Prospect Hill, and 

 Joseph Zedana also suffered light dam- 

 age to their stock. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held on the evening of Febru- 

 ary 8. Only a small number of members 

 attended. Some excellent ideas were sug- 

 gested, voted on and approved. Among 

 the proposals was a campaign of two 

 months* duration to increase the mem- 

 bership to seventy-five or 100. Member- 

 ship cards are now in the hands of the 

 printer and will be distributed by Secre-

The Market. 



This week has been characterized by 

 exceptionally good business in all lines; 

 counter trade has been brisk, decora- 

 tions numerous and funeral work heavy. 

 Indications pointed to a big St. Valen- 

 tine 's day for the florists. The florists 

 worked hard for this end by making at- 



tractive display windows and inserting 

 unusually clever advertisements in the 

 daily papers. 



As yet the rose scarcity has not beom 

 relieved. A few more have come into 

 the market, but the increased demand 

 has taken care of these, making the 

 situation the same as before. A few 

 more short grades are appearing and 

 bringing from $3 to $20. Carnations ^re 

 scarce and the quality is nothing to brag 

 about in most cases, but notwithstand- 

 ing this they are making from $3 to $4. 

 It is the belief of some dealers that the 

 call for carnations has increased since 

 the show, and that if a larger supply had 

 been on hand it would easily have 

 cleared.
