The Market. 



The general trade picked up a little 

 last week, but the scivcity of stock is 

 still ftlt, especially in roses. All varie- 

 ties cf bulbous stock are sei;n in the 

 stores, both in plants and cut flowers. 

 Prices remain at tlic high mark, both 

 wholesale and retail. California violets 

 are now arriving in fine shape. Plumosus 

 is also being shipped in from California. 



Various Notes. 



Fort Wayne florists are cooperating 

 in one united advertising effort for St. 

 Valentine's day, instead of advertising 

 separately. 



The Blossom Floral Co. furnished the 

 decorations for the Ad Club frolic, 

 which was a much-talked-about enter- 

 tainment. This firm has been so rushed 

 with funeral work that the force had to 

 work all day Sunday to get it out. 



A fine bed of calla lilies is to be seen 

 at the greenhouses of the Knecht-Freese 

 Co. The cut from this bed has been 

 especially good. Roses at this estab- 

 lishment are completely off crop. 



The Lanternier Florists have been 

 busy with decorations of various sorts. 

 They furnished the decorations for the 

 Eeinwald recital and also for the farm- 

 ers' and merchants' get-together meet- 

 ing, the first of its kind to be held here. 



E. C. Wenninghoff reports a busy 

 week in funeral work, having had orders 

 for several blankets and other large 

 pieces. Some fine hyacinths were seen 

 at this store. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesoy report a r umber 

 of telegraph orders coming in. Judge 

 and Mrs. Vesey werj in Chicago last 

 week. 



The Doswell Floral Co. furnished the 

 decorations for the Kui^ht Templars' 

 ball. The decorations were red and 

 white and carnations were used for 

 souvenirs. This firm also furnished the 

 decorations for the dance at the Elks' 

 Club. The Doswell Floral Co. is making 

 plans to open a landscape depart- 

 ment in connection with the store and 

 greenhouses. John Doswell will have 

 charge of this department. 



Miss Flora Helgren, daughter of Fred 

 Helgren, foreman at W. J. & M. S. 

 Vesey 's, was operated on last week, and 

 J8 doing nicely.
