The Florists' Review

& Meyer Co. and the Premier Rose Gar- 

 dens, a motorcycle policeman overhauled 

 them in Eiver Torest and gave Mr. 

 Reburn his first summons to the speed- 

 ers' court. February 21 the party was 

 joined by Irwin Frey, of Frey & Frey, 

 Lincoln, Neb., and left for Indianapolis, 

 Riclimoud and Terre Haute. 



George Franks, of Thomas Franks & 

 Son, Champaign, 111., was in the city for 

 a few liours February 17. Mr. Franks 

 feels keenly the injustice of what he 

 alleges to have become the custom at 

 the floricultural experiment station at 

 Urbana, of retailing flowers grown at 

 tax-payers' expense, selling in competi- 

 tion with the florists of the university 

 city. Tlie Illinois State Florists' Asso- 

 ciation, under the auspices of which the 

 experimental greenhouses are con- 

 ducted, holds its annual meeting at 

 Urbana March 8. 



Joseph H. Hill, returning from a trip 

 into Wisconsin, joined Fred II. Ijemon 

 here February 20 and the two returned 

 to Richmond together. Mr. Lemon 

 spent three days here last week. His 

 exhibit of primulas, cyclamens and roses 

 wliieh had been on dis])lay at tlie grow- 

 ers' meeting February 17 was trans- 

 ferred to the window of the E. C. Am- 

 ling Co., where the high quality of the 

 stock attracted much attention. The 

 Primula malacoides rosea now decorates 

 the dining tabic of the writer of this 

 note.

The Market. 



Market conditions last we-'k iliosved 

 a ni.'irkcd change over the week before. 

 Stock of all kinds is now to he 'i.-nl ;>t 

 almost any price. Bulbous stock seems 

 to be the most plentiful, as is the case 

 every year at this time, and, conse- 

 quently, the grower has to do some cal- 

 culating as to Just how he is going to 

 come out oil his investment. 



Roses are fairly jilentiful in the 

 longer grades, hut the short grades are 

 quite scarce. Carnatiniis, as usual at 

 this market, are holding their own. 

 Lilies, both calla and Easter, arc now 

 more abundant and move only fairly 

 well. 



Miscellaneous stock of all kinds, in- 

 cluding ])riimilas, wallflowers, forget- 

 me-nots, Cccili" Briiiiiier roses, etc., is 

 arri\iiig in larger ([uantities and mov- 

 ing well. The same may be said of 

 green goods.
