business. These tokens of good will 

 were in the form of baskets and bou- 

 quets of flowers and were delivered on 

 the day in large numbers. It seems to 

 me that, outside of the fact that an oc- 

 casion of thiis sort benefits the trade 

 at large to a great extent, there is no 

 better way of showing interest in an 

 event of this sort than to offer a floral 

 token of good will and appreciation of 

 past favors. H. J. S.

The Market. 



The supply of stock continues short. 

 Dahlias are the flowers most in evi- 

 dence and are of good quality. Eoses 

 are slowly gaining in quantity and im- 

 proving in quality, but they are by no 

 means plentiful. Carnations are help- 

 ing out. Quite a number are being cut, 

 but because of the general shortage of 

 all other stock they are utilized imme- 

 diately. The prices range from $1 to 

 $2.50 per hundred. Outdoor stock has 

 gradually deteriorated and decreased 

 in supply until practically none is sala- 

 ble. A few gladioli are available, how- 

 ever. Cosmos has not been so con- 

 spicuous this year as in previous years. 

 A meager supply of good snapdragons 

 clears readily. Calendulas also are wor- 

 thy of mention. The first violets of the 

 season have put in their appearance. 



Various Notes. 



T]ie Roepke Floral Co. is erecting a 

 new store. 



Eugene Dailledouze, of Brooklyn, N. 

 Y., recently visited the E. G. Ilill es- 

 tablishment at Richmond. From there, 

 accompanied by Joseph Hill, he visited 

 Indianapolis and was the guest of A. 

 F. J. Baur. 



The Bertermann Bros. Co. has been 

 cutting good Golden Glow chrysanthe- 

 mums. John Bertermann, Irwin Ber- 

 termann and Clarence Thomas expected 

 to attend the F. T. D. meeting at De- 

 troit. 



The former Reinkin range has been 

 rented by Mrs. Gray and will be plant- 

 ed to vegetables. 



Leo Rickenbach has been offering 

 some good late gladioli.

Frank Hasselman recently remarked 

 that with the present shortage and pre- 

 vailing high price of coal, every pre- 

 caution should be taken to save this 

 valuable commodity. He has just fin- 

 ished reputtying the entire place. 



Kussell Elder is the proud father 

 of a baby boy. 



Temperley's have been having some 

 extra fine Chatelaine begonias and Bos- 

 ton ferns. 



John Grande, St., certainly is in luck! 

 He had a contract for coal the whole 

 of last season at $1.65 per ton at the 

 mine, and as he is farsighted he laid 

 in enough coal at that price to carry 

 him over this winter. 



John Eisner has been having a large 

 crop of yellow dahlias, and as the 

 market has been close, they have been 

 in unusual demand.
