 FERTILE (the odorless liquid fertilizer). 



We have endorsements from a number of the most reputable people in this coun- 

 try, including the largest growers of cut flowers in the world.

The Market. 



The demand for cut flowers last week 

 was heavy, chiefly owing to the funerals 

 of several prominent people. Cut flow- 

 ers of all kinds were scarce and were 

 used up as fast as they appeared. 



It is not likely that pot roses, such as 

 ramblers, will be plentiful for Easter, 

 since that day comes so early and since 

 the plants were weaker and especially 

 scarce in the fall of 1919. In fact, 

 scarcity is to be expected in most lines 

 for Easter. Bulbs were late in getting 

 to the hands of growers and did not 

 make much root in the early part of the 

 winter. 



Various Notes. 



Clayton Colby is again with Morse & 

 Beals. This firm was displaying last 

 week some pans of fine cypripediums 

 and sweet peas. 



Mr. Moriarty, of Harvey B. Greene's 

 establishment, attended the funeral of 

 a brother, who was in the trade for a 

 number of years, at Lawrence Janu- 

 ary 24. 



Mrs. James J. McManmon and one of 

 her daughters were confined to their 

 home with colds last week. Several of 

 the force of this firm were away from 

 work, including a chauffeur, a teamster 

 and greenhouse help. 



Too many ciphers made the statement 

 in this news-letter January 15 of the 

 violet sales of Morse & Beals at Christ- 

 mas time far above the actual figures. 

 Regret is that the number was inac- 

 curate and the sales were not so large.
