 the volume of business and plana were 

 laid to that end. 



C. S. Claussen says Bonvallet & Co., 

 of Wichert, 111., of which firm he is the 

 "Co.," will begin the summer's cut of 

 gladioli before June is ended. Their 

 acreage is larger than ever this year.

The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. 

 is making an investigation of heating 

 different sizes and types of greenhouses, 

 for the benefit of commercial growers. 

 "When it is completed a meter system 

 will be established in the greenhouses at 

 I'ana, 111., which will measure the 

 anioiint of steam required to heat the 

 connected, the disconnected, and the 

 wide houses. This data will give the 

 grower accurate information as to how 

 much steam is needed to heat practically 

 t'very type of greenhouse. It will be 

 the first time that this has been tried 

 and should enable the grower to make 

 more accurate cost records and tell him 

 what kind of coal is most productive, 

 as well as what type of house is easiest 

 to heat. 



Among last week's visitors was A. A. 

 Harper, of Pine Bluff, Ark., who was

 waukee convention of advertising men. 



Mrs. Ray W. Holt, who is associated

 her way to New York, where she will 

 attend Max Schling's school for retail 

 florists. 



J. W. Eodgers, of Dayton, O., who is

The Market. 



The demand for flowers last week was 

 exceptionally good, as the market was 

 })ractically cleaned up at the close of 

 business Saturday night. Roses in the 

 market were of an exceptionally fine 

 (juality for this time of the year, the 

 varieties being Butterfly, Columbia, 

 Crusader, Yellow Ophelia, White Ophe 

 Jia, Premier, Pilgrim, Richmond and a 

 large quantity of Mrs. Aaron Ward. 

 American Beauties were also much in 

 <leini)nd and they moved out at moder- 

 ate jirices. The supi)ly of carnations far 

 fxci'cded the demand and some of the 

 ^•aniations were not of good quality, 

 tlie sciison being late. There were, how- 

 over, jtlenty of novelty flowers in the 

 market, such as sweet williams, blue 

 lace flowers, foxglove, coreopsis and 

 rambler sprays. These outdoor flowers 

 were greeted by the florists with pleas- 

 ure, as it gave them an opportunity of 

 supplying their customers with some- 

 thing just a little different. A large 

 quantity of field-grown gladioli was be- 

 ing received and these moved out daily 

 at good prices. The demand for Easter 

 lilies far exceeded the supply and each 

 day's supply was cleaned up. Plenty 

 of yellow daisies are in the market at 

 the present time. Lilies of the valley 

 have been exceptionally scarce. There 

 has been a demand for valley almost 

 every day. Some wonderful cattleyas 

 are also being received in the mar- 

 ket and are being used up nicely in 

 corsage work. Huckleberry, one of the 

 siimincr decorative greens, is also in the
