The Market. 



Business is good. Funeral work con- 

 tinues heavy. A number of weddings 

 and social events keep everybody busy. 

 Flowers are in good supply. 



A heavy frost played havoc with out- 

 door stock April 26. The low tempera- 

 ture during the last week is a record for 

 this locality. 



Various Notes. 



The Evansville Nurseries and the 

 William Halbrooks greenhouses, where 

 the temperature fell to 22 degrees, re- 

 port severe damage to much stock. 



At Elspermann 's, only a little damage 

 was done, as everything was under 

 cover except a few geraniums. 



Royston & Fenton lost about 300 

 Easter Greetings in 2^ -inch pots, which 

 were just potted and set outside, as well 

 as a few geraniums. 



Theodore Kuebler lost over 1,000 to- 

 mato plants, which were fruiting in the 

 field. 



The truck gardeners report heavy 

 damage to strawberries, grapes, etc. 

 They think fruit trees were too well ad- 

 vanced to be hurt much. E. L. F.

* ' Our Easter egg hatched out a golden 

 chick," was the reply of Conrad C. 

 Gindra, of this city, to the inquiry as to 

 how the glacL season found our worthy 

 confrere. " I do not remember one that 

 eclipsed it and its best feature was that 

 the dear public seemed so easily pleased. 

 Of course, it follows that they discrimi- 

 nated to some extent, but as long as a 

 plant was made attractive and oflEered 

 at a figure not too exorbitant, it went. ' ' 



A special feature was a batch of fifty 

 lilacs, big bushes, planted outdoors in 

 pots, and left until there was danger of 

 frost cracking the pots. They were then 

 brought inside, frozen roots and all, and 

 put in heat two weeks before Easter. 

 The result was the finest crop of blooms 

 one could wish to see. 



Another successful experiment was 

 the forcing of tree peonies, something 

 hitherto believed untried. 



"We sold one plant for a ten spot," 

 observed Mr. Gindra, ' ' so you may judge 

 how good it was. An increase in the 

 wearing of corsage bouquets by the Vas- 

 sar girls and the natives used up large 

 quantities of sweet peas and roses. 



* ' It was pleasing to note, also, the in- 

 crease in telegraphic orders. 



"And now for a breathing spell, pre- 

 paratory to the planting-out season, 

 which promises also to be a record- 

 breaker, in which the orange-scarlet
