Visitors. 



L. H. Archias, of the Archiaa Floral 

 Co., Sedalia, Mo., and Alois Frey, Crown 

 Point, Ind., were visitors January 24. 



The presence of the following visitors 

 was noted last week: P. W. Peterson, 

 of the J. D. Thompson Carnation Co., 

 Joliet, 111.; J. B. Wiese, Buffalo, N. Y., 

 and J. J. West, Minneapolis, Minn.

Business during the month of Janu- 

 ary is holding up well and, with the ex- 

 ception of the few days of rush previous 

 to Christmas, the volume of January 

 business compares favorably with that 

 done during the month of December. 

 Funeral work has been especially heavy 

 during the last two weeks, and the de- 

 mand for flowers for social functions 

 continues to be greater than ever. The 

 sale of blooming plants is reported to be 

 unusually heavy. The weather has been 

 extremely wintry, with the mercury 

 hovering around the zero mark, and 

 there have been several dark days. These 

 conditions have necessarily shortened 

 the production of stock, particularly 

 roses and carnations. Eoses in the 

 longer-stemmed grades are hard to 

 obtain. American Beauties are scarce 

 and Russell and Killarney are in ex- 

 ceedingly short supply. The quality is 

 good. Easter lilies are also scarce; callas 

 ^^% i" ^''"^^ supply. Dutch hyacinths 

 and daffodils made their appearance dur-

ing the last week, both potted and cut 

 stock. Sweet peas are plentiful, and 

 there are some excellent flowers in the 

 Spencer varieties. Narcissi, primroses, 

 forget-me-nots and snapdragon meet 

 with a good demand. 



Cattleyas and vandas are in excellent 

 demand for corsages. Violets are meet- 

 ing with a fine call this season. Valley 

 is scarce and high-priced. Azaleas that 

 were intended for the holiday business 



are coming into bloom now, and they 

 find a ready sale. Tulips, daffodils, prim- 

 ulas, Dutch hyacinths, yellow and white 

 narcissi and primroses constitute the va- 

 riety in potted plants. 



Various Notes. 



The Doswell Floral Co. had an elab- 

 orate decoration last week. Shawyer 

 and Ophelia roses, Spencer sweet peas 

 and snapdragons were used in the table
