than in summer, when dull times are 

 expected, but there are usually some dull 

 days in February. The wholesalers, on 

 the other hand, say that shipping has 

 kept up well. So far, there has been no 

 trouble with washouts and shipments 

 have gone out regularly, thus prevent- 

 ing disappointment and delay at the cus- 

 tomers ' end. Roses are more plentiful 

 now than for a long time and the small 

 polyantha types are beginning to come 

 in from outdoors. Carnations are im- 

 proving and the cool, moist weather is 

 fine for violets. Sweet peas are more 

 plentiful and many fine varieties are 

 now coming in. Orchids are about even 

 with the demand. Greens and plants are 

 about as last reported. 



Various Notes. 



Thomas H. Wright, of Wright's 

 Flower Shop, has been putting in a good 

 deal of time at the greenhouses of late, 

 arranging for the planting of new rose 

 stock. He figures on trying out several 

 novelties. In the meantime the staflf at 

 the store is kept busy every day with 

 decorations and transient business. 



Roy W. Benner, who has been in the 

 army fourteen months, and Otto Bris- 

 coe, who has been in the service a 

 shorter time, have both been honorably 

 discharged and have joined the force 

 of the Broadway Florists.

been suffering from a severe throat at- 

 tack, which has caused him considerable 

 pain. 



Morris Goldenson is around on 

 crutches, as the result of a fall through 

 the ceiling of the store while the work 

 of rearrangement was in progress. He 

 struck his head in falling and was ren- 

 dered unconscious. He was bleeding 

 profusely on being taken to the hospital. 

 Later it was found that no bones were 

 broken, but he was badly bruised and is 

 stiff, suffering great pain. His daugh- 

 ter also has been on the sick list. The 

 new arrangement of the store, with its 

 rockwork effect and fountain, has a cool

 distinct from anything else in town. 



8. Murata & Co. report large arrivals 

 of fine daffodils and other bulbous stock. 

 Mr. Murata says the shipping business 

 is holding up well for the season.
