FLORISTS' REFRIGERATORS will display your flowers in 

 an attractive manner and keep them in perfect condition. In 

 Brechfs Refrigerators there is always a STRONG CIRCULA- 

 TION OF DRY, COLD AIR. We build them of oak, or any other 

 wood, highly finished and thoroughly insulated. All hardware 

 is of brass, quadruple nickel-plated. The best of French beveled 

 plate glass used for mirrors and windows.

short side. The sale of violets, orchids 

 and valley was heavy. The novelties, 

 artificial flowers and baskets, sold well. 

 The telegraph business made a big in- 

 crease over last year's, showing that 

 the public are becoming educated to 

 the service. 



The New Year's business was good, 

 yet perhaps not quite up to last year's. 



Bowling Scores. 



New Year's night members of the 

 Florists' Bowling Club assembled at 

 the alleys and made a strenuous night of 

 it. The scores were:

The Market. 



It is many years since the florists of 

 this city and vicinity experienced two 

 such busy weeks as those which came to 

 a close with the old year. The business 

 Christmas week exceeded all expecta- 

 tions. There was a general clean-up on 

 the part of everybody — greens, plants 

 and cut flowers going strongly, notwith- 

 standing a stiffening of prices. The gen- 

 eral report is that potted plants sold 

 better this year than ever before. 



Various Notes. 



Smith the Florist, Washington street, 

 had some fine basket effects. 



Macnair was on the ,i""ip ^^ both 

 stores and could have sold many times 

 as much stock if it had been available.

O'Connor reported a much larger busi- 

 ness than a year ago, with an increased 

 call for plants, combinations and cut 

 flowers. 



W. A. Bowers said the holiday busi- 

 ness was greatly in excess of his expec- 

 tations. 



Albert Holscher reported that, not-
