GODFREY ASCHMANN, '''' "^kS^fd^I: pa. 



Now that Lent has set in, the social 

 functions are practically at a standstilL 

 The retailers are taxed to the limit of 

 their ingeaidtj to tvn ont work which 

 is satisfactory in quantity as well as in 

 quality, but it is surprising what one 

 can accomplish when pushed against 

 the wall. There is a more general use 

 of cycas leaves with plumosus and 

 handsome ribbon, also of wreaths of 

 magnolia and oak leaves of good size 

 with few flowers. Sprays of Benora car- 

 nations with a few red ones judiciously 

 used make up well. Cinerarias have 

 made their appearance. 



Everyone is making plans for a big 

 Easter business. 



Various Kotes. 



C. E. Critchell has been on the sick 

 list for over a week. 



J. J. Qoudy, representing Henry A. 

 Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia, called on the 

 trade last week. 



Fred Backmaier, Vine street, who 

 started in a small way not so long ago, 

 says that he is doing all the business he 

 can handle. 



H. W. Sheppard's bookkeeper. Miss 

 Cunningham, is back on the job, after 

 an illness of two weeks. H. E. K.

The Market. 



Business dropped off considerably 

 after St. Valentine's day and for the 

 first time in months there has been 

 plenty of stock for all needs. This is 

 due, not only to decrease in demand, 

 but also to the increase in the flowers 

 being cut in this locality. 



There is little demand for American 

 Beauties. Boses in general consist of 

 the medium and short grades, there be- 

 ing practically no long grades. Premier 

 leads in quality and Ophelia also finds 

 a good demand. Ward, Bon Silene and 

 Sweetheart are short in supply. Car- 

 nations are high in quality and espe- 

 eially plentiful. 



Spring flowers are not much in de- 

 mand. At present the market sees tu- 

 lips, narcissi, daffodils, freesias and 

 hyacinths. Freesias are in oversupply. 

 Snapdragons and anemones have ap- 

 peared on the market and find a ready 

 demand. Violets and sweet peas are in 

 oversupply., Calendulas, pansies, wall- 

 flowers, primulas and Japanese lilies are 



Carnation Cuttings
