to the supply, thereby holding up prices 

 well, except in a few eases. Carnations 

 have dropped in price and roses also to 

 some extent, but not enough to warrant 

 the retailer in making marked reduc- 

 tions. About the only stock in which 

 there seems to be a surplus is Paper 

 Whites and, while there are plenty of 

 daffodils coming, the demand is such 

 that they clean up at all times. Carna- 

 tions and roses are in good demand, and 

 there seems to be an exceptional call for 

 roses of the shorter-stemmed variety for 

 design work, which demonstrates that 

 the growers for the last two years have 

 been striving to produce the finer qual- 

 ity of long-stemmed stock, thereby not 

 paying any particular attention to 



wants of the retailer, often causing him 

 to use long-stemmed grades, at a cost 

 of double and sometimes treble the 

 amount he should pay, which, of course, 

 decreases his profits. 



Potted bulbous stock, consisting of 

 daffodils, tulips and hyacinths, is coming 

 in plentifully and is being disposed of 

 as well as usual. Violets, sweet peas, 

 orchids, freesias and lilies of the valley, 

 all of fine quality, are arriving in quan- 

 tities to meet all demands. Easter and 

 calla lilies are not any too plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel Hansen, president of the Al- 

 bany Florists' Club, called a special 

 meeting of the club, which was to be 

 held at the Albany Cut Flower Ex- 



change, February 17, for the purpose of 

 electing a new secretary-treasurer, to 

 succeed the late Louis H. Schaefer, 

 whose funeral was held February 7. Mr. 

 Schaefer, who was connected with the 

 Market Square Seed Store for a num- 

 ber of years, died at the Homeopathic 

 hospital, after a brief illness. He was 

 a tireless worker in the interests of the 

 Albany Florists' Club, and the organi- 

 zation will feel his loss keenly. The 

 club sent a beautiful floral offering, as 

 did several individual members. 



At the Lincoln dinner given by the 

 Albany county Eepublican organiza- 

 tion at I. O. O. F. hall, February 12, H. 

 G. Eyres, as usual, had the floral deco- 

 rations, consisting of palms and potted 

 plants. M. J.
