business last week in funeral work and 

 hosj)ital orders. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey have now t-oiu- 

 pleted their arrangements for hybridiz- 

 ing orchids. One-half of one of their 

 orchid houses has been partitioned off 

 and made entirely modern, in which to 

 start the young seedling orchids. Tliey 

 now have eight houses of various sizes 

 devoted to orchids. 



Thomas Webster, formerly of W. J. 

 & M. S. Vesey 's, lias accepted a posi- 

 tion with the Schiller Co., of Toledo, O. 



II. Johnson, of the Johnson Floral Co., 

 Kendallville, Ind., was a visitor last 

 week. 



Aliss Helen Patten, of Toledo, ()., was 

 the guest of her sister, Mrs. Sliives, 

 over Sunday, January 30. 



Mr. Hecht, of Wertheimer Bros., New 

 York, and Mr. Fox, of the Snyth & 

 Young Co., Indianai)olis, were among

The Maiiiiet. 



The market last week was in muili 

 better condition. There was a notice- 

 able increase in all lines of stock, with 

 the demand remaining about stationary. 

 The main demand was for stock for fu- 

 neral work, rather tlinn for social fea- 

 tures. 



Eoses seem to havp made a good re- 

 covery, as they are to be had in a much 

 increased supply and the quality re- 

 mains the same. Nearly all are of good 

 quality. Mediums and shorts are still 

 on the short side, yet they are being 

 used up well for design worl<. ('arii;i 

 tions are in much better sn])ply and, 

 while there is sonu> fine stock on tlie 

 market, the carnations as a whole aic 

 in better shape for funeral work. There 

 is a large supply of ordinary grades to 

 be had, and while I hear conii)laints 

 about the price of carnations, it is a 

 good thing that this ordinary grade 

 can be procured and that the top price 

 of $]'2 and $1') per hundred does not 

 have to be paid for quality stock. Sweet 

 peas are in fairly good supjily. Th(> 

 bright, sunny weather wc have been 

 having is just what they want, and 

 they are respoiuling in fine style. Here 

 again the quality is remarkabl(>, both 

 as to shades and stems, :is well as the 

 flowers themselves. Freesia is arriving 

 in limited supply, and again we must 

 call your attention to the quality of 

 this most useful flower. It has never 

 been the writer's privilege to see finer 

 freesia on this market — fine stems and
