0. W. Kent, of Kent Bros., Newark, 

 C, was here over the week end, visiting 

 with his son, F. B. Kent, wh« is one of 

 Major R. B. Howe's lieutenants with 

 the W. W. Barnard Co. 



J. E. Quallich, who represents the A. 

 L. Bandall Co. in Cleveland, was here 

 March 15 for a conference with Sales 

 Manager Galavan and department man- 

 agers. 



Swan Peterson, of the Peterson Floral 

 Co., Gibson City and Decatur, was here 

 March 15 for the first time in six weeks. 

 He is a frequent visitor, but the flu has 

 kept him at home. 



W. B., better known as "Jack," 

 Shotwell, of Fargo, N. D., spent two 

 days in the market last week. Mr. Shot* 

 well is convalescing from an attack of 

 the flu and was accompanied by his 

 wife. He commented on the recent in- 

 crease in his telegraph delivery busi- 

 ness, Fargo sending and receiving or- 

 ders for a large territory in the north- 

 west. Mr. Shotwell believes the na- 

 tional advertising of the 8. A. F. has 

 done more than any other one agency 

 to acquaint the public with the trade's 

 facilities for delivering flowers at a dis- 

 tance.

The Market. 



The close of the second week of 

 March marks a further decline in the 

 prices of cut flowers. Gradually the 

 flower-loving public are becoming aware 

 of the fact that flowers are no longer 

 expensive. Gradually they are buying 

 flowers again. So slowly is the change 

 coming that the supply continues to

exceed the demand and the week has 

 been .a poor one. The unfavorable 

 weather has been a barrier to improve- 

 ment in market conditions. Greens, 

 such as leucothoe, ferns and asparagus, 

 sell much better than flowers. The left- 

 overs pull down the rather low average 

 prices of sales. 



Emperor and several other fine daffo- 

 dils have come. Freesia is still here, 

 but the season is over; it does not sell. 

 Snapdragons are extremely fine and 

 quite plentiful. There is special demand 

 for the few Cattleya Trianae that are 

 still coming. It is probable that Easter 

 will come at the wrong time for the 

 orchid. The winter variety is over and
