able to get them at attractive figures 

 and excellent stock has retailed at 75 

 cents each. 



Violets are plentiful. Carnations, 

 which have been abundant, are no long- 

 ger so, owing to the increased demand. 

 Extra fancy stock continues to clean up, 

 with the demand larger than the sup- 

 ply. There are, however, just enough of 

 the lower grades to take care of im- 

 mediate needs. There is not enough val- 

 ley to go around, but there are plenty 

 of sweet peas. Enough Paper Whites 

 come in to fill orders; the same can be 

 said of Roman hyacinths. Jonquils 

 are in heavy demand and there are far 

 from enough to meet the call. Tulips 

 continue to come in larger supply each 

 week, but the demand increases accord- 

 ingly and there are not enough to go 

 around. Freesia is plentiful. Small 

 lots of iris are coming in. It is the 

 same old story with calla and Easter 

 lilies — far short of the demand. Calen- 

 dulas continue to be popular, but the 

 supply is short. Stevia is gone. 



The green goods situation has 

 changed, smilax, Sprengeri, plumosus, 

 adiantum and Mexican ivy all being in 

 short supply, making the situation bad 

 for the retailers. Boxwood, leucothoe 

 and ferns are plentiful. 



Mrs. Budlong Sells Out. 



, Philip C. Schupp has become owner of 

 the wholesale house heretofore conduct- 

 ed by him under the name of J. A. Bud- 

 long and A. H. Budlong has become 

 owner of the Budlong greenhouses in 

 Bowmanville. 



At the death of J. A. Budlong, the 

 business went to his wife, the green- 

 houses being run by her son, Albert H. 

 Budlong, and the sales department by 

 her son-in-law, P. C. Schupp, who has 

 been manager for the last fourteen years. 

 Mr. Budlong has purchased from his 

 mother the entire greenhouse establish- 

 ment of approximately 125,000 feet Of 

 glass in roses, etc., and Mr. Schupp has 

 purchased the wholesale end of the busi- 

 ness. Both men become sole owners of 

 their ends of the business and become 

 independent of one another. Mr. Schupp, 

 in taking over the wholesale end, takes 

 over all accounts, names of customers 

 and good will of the business. There 

 will be no change in the management 

 of either of the establishments. The 

 stock from the Budlong greenhouses will 

 be shipped to the wholesale headquar- 

 ters as before. Mr. Schupp will change 

 the name to the J. A. Budlong Co. Since 

 removal to the present location on the

Friedman to Move. 



O. J. Friedman, who has been located 

 at 522 South Michigan boulevard, in 

 the Congress hotel, for the last ten 

 years, will move two doors south be- 

 fore March 1. The new store, although 

 smaller, should be better for hotel trade 

 than is his present location, as it ad- 

 joins the south entrance of the hotel, 

 leading into the famous Peacock alley 

 and Pompeian room. The new store has 

 a lobby window for display. There will 

 be no change in management, Victor 

 Bergman continuing in the same ca- 

 pacity.
