ready to erect ranges. H. Nichols, who 

 has charge of the Chicago office, reports

The Market. 



Business is fair at present. With the 

 drop in the prices of flowers sales have 

 increased, but as yet the general public 

 does not realize the change. The ex- 

 ceptionally high prices which prevailed 

 early in the season have been reduced 

 and flowers are arriving in quantities 

 sufficient to take care of the trade. Busi- 

 ness was satisfactory on Washington's 

 and Lincoln's birthdays and partly 

 made up for the losses due to the storm 

 St. Valentine's day. Spring bulbous 

 stock is much mpre plentiful and de- 

 cidedly cheaper'than it was two or three 

 weeks ago. 



Various Notes. 



Fred P. Wolfinger, 883 Broad street, 

 had an attractive window for Washing- 

 ton's birthday, which contained a pic- 

 ture of Washington and bouquets of 

 cherries. Bouquets of seasonable flow- 

 ers were attractively displayed also. 



Chicles E. Maillard, 516 Orange street, 

 states that the public has become so 



It is gratifying to know of the many retail florists who 

 appreciate a Wholesale House that has taken the lead 

 to conform to the principles of "Wholesale Only."
