The Market. 



'^^\ Business in this city for St. Yalen- 

 "T^nS^e 's day was brisk. In fact, it far ex- 

 ^'^'feeeded the expectations of many in the 

 trade. The demand was for practically 

 everything the retailer handles. Of 

 course, only moderate-priced articles 

 were sold in quantity. Plants ranging 

 in price from $1 to $3 were in big de- 

 mand, as were boxes of cut flowers and 

 baskets of flowers. Violets and other 

 flowers for corsage use sold well. Ex- 

 tra help was required by many of the 

 stores to handle the many deliveries. 

 Much credit is due those retailers who 

 keep everlastingly decorating their 

 windows appropriately and advertising 

 these special days in many waj's. Some 

 feiw of the stores still refrain from do- 

 ing anything special in the way of 

 window display for special occasions 

 and it is no wonder that business with 

 them is dull. 



Various Notes. 



J. Breitmeyer's Sons are now adver- 

 tising the opening of their new branch 

 store in the beautiful David Whitney 

 building, just across from the new Stat- 

 ler hotel. This opening is to be about 

 March 15. 



Another most important change in 

 the retail business will be the removal 

 of E. A. Fetters, who will open a fine 

 store at the corner of Woodward ave- 

 nue and Clifford street about March 1. 

 Mr. Fetters' store will occupy a space 

 20 X 60 feet. Being right in the heart 

 of the city, his rent will naturally be 

 high and it is understood that it will 

 run close to $1,000 per month. This is 

 by far the highest rent ever paid by 

 a florist in this city, and only a man 

 as well established and well thought 

 of as Mr. Fetters would be safe in 

 undertaking such a proposition. Mr. 

 Fetters will then give up his Farmer 

 street store. H. S. 



Belvldere, IlL — Lyon & Anderson 

 bave discontinued operating the Fair- 

 view Greenhouses and will conduct 

 those at the Eiverside location only, 

 also maintaining the store on South 

 State street. Their lease from the 

 Eldredge estate expired January 16 and 

 was not renewed, as the work of run- 

 ning the two ranges was too much. 

 John Eldredge will manage the Fair- 

 view Greenhouses. The superintendent 

 in charge is James Leek. Lyon & An- 

 derson will buy the flowers grown at 

 the Fairview Greenhouses.

This Ought to Be OF INTEREST to YOU 



that local growers have placed the larg^est individual orders for my 

 new Carnation "ALICE," offered to the trade this season. Some have 

 doubled and trebled their orders on successive visits. 



The color is an exquisite shade of clear, soft pink, midway between En- 

 chantress and Gloriosa. Habit of plant, ideal, strong, very early and a contin- 

 uous and without doubt the most productive commercial variety I bave offered 

 to date.
