GET SAMPLES 



Send a postal for samples and prices of our square paper locking 

 pols and bands, and when you send your order you will recognize the 

 goods by the samples that you received. They are identically the 

 same and bear no relation to paper strips commonly sold for "pots." 



The Ramsburg Locking Pot 



is a newly patented, high-grade article. It is made of first quality 

 manila board, and your judgment will quickly show its merits and 

 wearing qualities over common paper. 



Both the Bands and Pots are made of the same material, in many 

 sizes. Your name on a postal for samples. Get the pot that locks.

Tlio florists experipuced nn unusually 

 hojivv St. Valentino's day business this 

 year, many of the forces in the stores 

 working; late the night before and the 

 entire followinfr day filling orders. 

 Tliero Avorc also a number of large 

 dances and social affairs on the day, 

 and the demand for flowers for these 

 was heavy. Stock was plentiful in all 

 lines, with the exception of roses. These 

 were in extremely short supply, due to 

 the fact that many of the local grow- 

 ers were off crop. The continued dark 

 weather also caused a shortening up in 

 the rose supply. American Beauties 

 were idontiful, but the call for these 

 was not large. Violets sold better than 

 ever before and the prices hold up well. 

 Corsages were in exceedingly heavy de- 

 mand, looses, orchids, violets, sweet 

 jteas and sjiring flowers were the stock 

 most in demand for these. Orchids were 

 plentiful and sweet peas in good supply. 



Potted plants sold on sight, especially 

 the Inilboiis stock. Eed roses were at 

 a premium. Carnations were only in 

 moderate supply, but the demand was 

 not largo. Good valley was scarce and 

 the prices were high. Tulips, freesias, 

 snapdragons, jonquils, daffodils, primu- 

 las, forgot-me-nots, sweet alyssums, 

 narcissi and primulas made up the va- 

 riety of spring flowers. 



Deliveries were diHicult on account 

 of the exfremo cold, which did not seem 

 to affect the demand. 



The weather has moderated consid- 

 erably within the last few days, but 

 there is little sunshine and stock is not 

 any too plentiful. Funeral work and 

 decorations for receptions and parties 

 make the heaviest demands on the 



Sll]ipl\'.
