The Market. 



The florists are highly elated over the 

 St. Valentine 's day business. According 

 to reports, there was an increase of fully 

 fifty per cent over last year. It is be- 

 lieved that this is due in great part to 

 the publicity campaign, featuring the 

 slogan, "Say It with Flowers" and the 

 cooperative advertising of the Florists' 

 Club in the local press. The weather 

 was decidedly unfavorable, but it 

 seemed to have no effect on the market. 



Roses were scarce and prices high. 

 Eussells were decidedly short and there 

 was a .shortage of Richmond. There 

 was an exceptionally good supply of 

 orchids and the call for them was excel- 

 lent. Rainbow froesias were featured 

 at several of the stores at $^.^0 and $2 

 ]>er dozen. 



Vaxious Notes. 



A. J. Lanternier & Sons have redeco- 

 rated their downtown store and in- 

 stalled new mirrors. 



The Flick Floral Co. featured cycla- 

 men plants, heart-shaped baskets filled 

 with violets and bulbous flowers for St. 

 Valentine's day. 



At the greenhouses of W. J. & M. S. 

 Vesey 1,000 cattleyas and cvpripediums 

 were cut last week. 



John Lanternier, son of A. J. Lanter- 

 nier, has taken a ])osition with the 

 Dreibillis Abstract Co., having resigned 

 the oflice of deputy clerk. 



St. Valentine's day business at Edgar 

 Wenninghoff 's went away ahead of last 

 year. Mr. Wenninghoff was obliged to 

 have extra help to handle the trade. 



Spencer sweet peas and violets met 

 with a heavy sale at the store of the 

 Doswell Floral Co. Myosotis in pots 

 was an attractive offering here. 



The New Haven Floral Co. had a rec 

 ord cut of bulbous flowers and roses for 

 tlie holiday. 



The Freese Floral Co. had Dutch 

 hyacinths, cinerarias and primulas for 

 the holiday sales. R. F. B. 



Batavia, N. Y.— L. C. Stroh & Sons 

 have this year adopted a unique plan 

 for the distribution of advertising mat- 

 ter. As they have a large Latin patron- 

 age, they are sending a fine picture of 

 Italia enfolding the new annexations. 

 With this goes a circular letter calling 

 attention to their fine assortment of 

 plants and cut 'flowers. A handsome 

 water color picture is sent to American 

 patrons. Walter Stroh believes this i? 

 a good move at this particular time. 

 Anyhow, it is a novelty and they have 

 the goods to back it up. Albert Stroh 

 observed that he was puttiiig on flesh
