 wise sold will be sent. 



LOWELL, MASS. 



The Market. 



Wintry weather prevails in this dis- 

 trict, one storm following another in 

 rapid succession. The snow is at least 

 fifteen inches deep, besides considerable 

 drifts. Almost all traffic is stopped. 

 Business has been crippled, except for 

 funeral orders, which have been numer- 

 ous. 



Flowers are still scarce and prices are 

 high, chiefly because there is little bulb- 

 ous stock in the market. Boses are re- 

 tailing at $3 per dozen and up; carna- 

 tions, $2 and $3; yellow marguerites, 

 75 cents to $1.50 per dozen, and Golden 

 Spurs, $2 and up per dozen. 



There are some potted plants to be 

 had, such as cyclamens, Primula ob- 

 conica, the baby primrose and begonias, 

 but, owing to weather conditions and 

 the difficulty of delivery, the demand 

 for potted plants is small. 



Various Notes. 



A representative from the Quality 

 Brands Co., Cleveland, O., was in this 

 city calling on the trade last week and 

 states that orders are being booked 

 freely for greenhouse paint and glazing 

 cement. 



James L. Kenney, on Central street, 

 is handling a large quantity of roses. 

 Last week this firm had A. Ward in 

 especially good quality and color. 



Morse & Beals are handling excellent 

 sweet peas with extra long stems. 



J. J. McManmon's store has had a 

 rush of funeral work for several weeks.

KANBAS 0IT7, MO. 



The Market. 



With stock more plentiful than it 

 has been for many weeks and prices 

 lower as a consequence, business has 

 lessened to a considerable degree, but 

 not to the point of being slow. Some 

 of the dealers have been exceptionally 

 busy with funeral work, but the ma- 

 jority are doing a normal business. 



Spring stock is appearing on the 

 market and the stores present an array 

 of tulips, jonquils and hyacinths. 



Various Notes. 



The building in which A. Newell is 

 located has been leased and Mr. Newell 

 has to look for a new location. He has 

 been there less than a year and has 

 spent nearly $7,000 in decorating and 

 remodeling. 



The Ever-Ready Flower Pot Cover 



The Ever-Ready Stands Oat Strongly in Meeting every Pot Giver 



Requirement 



Of What and How Made. It includes a 

 atrone cardboard foundation the outside 

 of which is covered with best quality' 

 Waterproef crepe paper with fiber ribbon 

 ties at top and bottom, and all firmly put 

 together with improved metal fasteaings. 



Low of Coat. It is supplied at low 

 enough prices to allow of gratis disposal, 

 as the improved appearance of the plant 

 justifiea advanced pricing that more than 

 offsets its cost. 



A Time and Money Saver. Compared 

 with trimming pots specially, with papers, 

 mattings and the like, it freely saves 

 flower store workers' time and avoids the 

 cost of high-priced materials. 



Above prices are act. 



For adapting with the varied colors and tints of blossoms and foliage these cove rs 

 are regularly supplied in the following four standard colors, viz.: GRVLS, WHITE. 

 PINK. RED. 



Ever- Ready Covers are readily obtained of the leading dealers in Florists' Snppliea 

 or by orders sent direct to us. 



Made and Supplied by. the 



Ever-Ready Flower Pot Cover Co.

Edward Humfeld closed his shop Sun- 

 day, Tebniary 22, for the first time in 

 many years, joining in the movement 

 for a 6-day week for florists, which has 

 become popular here since it was started 

 just a month ago. Mr. Humfeld has 

 been ill with the flu, but is out of dan- 

 ger now. 



T. J. Noll & Co. have enlarged their 

 line of supplies and are having good 

 business. 



Tucker Smith, president of the Pine- 

 hurst Floral Co., came up from Pleasant 

 Hill Wednesday, February 25. 



P. A. Manson and Harry Blake were 

 in Chicago on business last week. 



Mrs. T. A. Moseley reports business 

 good and stock more plentiful. 



The Muehlebach Flower Shop had 

 good business in corsages last week.
