COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



Trade haa been good of late and it 

 lias not been easy to get enough stock 

 to go the rounds. Funeral work, which 

 comprises the bulk of the demand, 

 has been heavy and at times we have 

 to fall back to the magnolia wreaths, 

 etc. Roses are extremely scarce and 

 there is no chance of getting any ahead, 

 as they are cut in close bud, sometimes 

 before they are ready. Carnations also 

 are scarce. Lilies are far from being 

 enough to cut any figure. Some bulbous 

 stock is coming in, but is rather poor. 

 Tulips are away off in quality and the 

 growers are at a loss to know the rea- 

 son. Daffodils and jonquils, while 

 somewhat better in quality, are short in 

 supply. Sweet peas are a little more 

 plentiful, but are used up closely at all 

 times. Corsage work has been looking 

 up and it takes about all the sweet peas 

 that are offered. Violets are coming in 

 good shape and find ready sale. The 

 green and fern proposition is a hard 

 problem here. 



St. Valentine's day trade was good 

 and everyone seems to be satisfied. 

 There also was quite a spurt on Wash- 

 ington's birthday. 



Vaxiovis Notes. 



The Wilson Seed Co. is remodeling 

 its store, having taken the whole room 

 on a new lease for a number of years. 



James McKellar was called to Green- 

 field on account of the death of his 

 brother-in-law, Theo. E. Miller, who 

 was engaged in the florists' business 

 for a number of years but retired 

 on account of ill health. Charles W. 

 McKellar, of Chicago, and Oliver R. 

 McKellar, now with the regulars at 

 Fort Bliss, Tex., attended the funeral. 



Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Roth expect to be 

 back in Columbus about March 1. Mrs. 

 Eoth's health is somewhat improved.
