The Market. 



The weather was favorable last week 

 and stock has been coming in a little 

 more heavily. There was a heavy cut 

 of tulips, daffodils, spring bulbous stock 

 and sweet peas during the week. There 

 was also a good supply of tulips, hya- 

 cinths and daffodils in pots and pans, 

 and the stores are making a specialty 

 of these at the present time. 



Carnations and roses are coming in 

 about normal, and the supply is equal 

 to the demand. There is also a good 

 supply of violets, lilies and green goods 

 on the market. Even with the favor- 

 able, mild weather, lilies are backward 

 and a big proportion of them will not 

 come in for Easter. Hydrangeas also 

 appear to be scarce. However, there 

 are a few rambler roses and cyclamen 

 plants to be had. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club had a well at- 

 tended meeting Thursday evening, 

 March 3, with President Guttermuth in 

 the chair. It was a lively meeting, and 

 considerable discussion regarding the 

 advisability of using tractors for culti- 

 vating was taken up. 



The Milwaukee Pottery, which had 

 been operating at top speed the last 

 month, has shut down for an indefinite 

 time, but no doubt will be reopened 

 again soon, as there is a good field for 

 a pottery here. 



Allen Strauss, wlio represents Lion & 

 Co., New York, is spending a few days 

 in the city with his wife. They are on 

 their honeymoon. They contemplate go- 

 ing to California. 



A smooth young chap has been pur- 

 chasing flowers from several downtown 

 florists for wedding or funeral orders, 

 presenting a check of the American Au- 

 tomobile Association in payment. He 

 gives his name as Paul Gildea, and the 

 check usually is made out for $25. His 

 purchases do not equal this amount, so 

 he receives the difference in cash. P. 



Beverly, N. J. — John A. Cook, for 

 years a florist and seedsman^ has dis- 

 continued his business and dismantled 

 his greenhouses. 



Jackson, Miss. — Miss Betty E. Cab- 

 iness, aunt of Lindsey Cabiness, mana- 

 ger of the Capital Floral Co., died Feb- 

 ruary 22 after a sudden attack of heart 

 disease. She was 76 years of age and 

 prominent in educational work in this 

 city.
