THE NEW LIGHT 



MAGENTA POMPON 



QUEEN MARIE 



We have grown it four years and know it is a good money- being strong and stiff enough to support themselves. Flow- 

 maker. Very productive. Planted in June from 2-inch pots, [] ers very double. Holds petals until dry. Plenty of foliage— 

 with two pinchings, you can get 15 to 18 sprays per plant, U excellent as a pot plant as well as for cutting. We offer this 

 each spray carrying 16 to 25 flowers. Needs no tying, stems as a money-maker for florists. 



From 2-inch pots, $8.00 per 100, $76.00 per 1000. Delivery at once.

The Market. 



Trade was heavy here for St. Valen- 

 tine's day and for several days before, 

 as there was a great deal of funeral 

 work. St. Valentine's day has become 

 one of our best flower days, though a 

 few years ago it amounted to nothing. 

 Violets were first choice, but it was not 

 long before they were all gone; then 

 sweet peas got their share of attention 

 and immense quantities were disposed 

 of. All other flowers, such as roses, 

 carnations, valley and even bulbous 

 flowers, were cleaned up and Monday 

 found everyone scratching around try- 

 ing to find stock to fill orders, as there 

 was a busy time in funeral work. 

 Potted plants also moved well, and 

 though the trade called mostly for 

 bright colors, about everything was 

 cleaned up. 



Various Notes. 



Sherman Stephens has been cutting 

 loads of bulbous flowers and reports 

 that these are being cleaned up in good 

 shape. 



C. A. Roth reports that funeral work 

 has been heavy of late. 



The Livingston Seed Co. had a big 

 trade for St. Valentine's day and the 

 sales of violets were especially large. 



T. J. Ludwig had everything running 

 in good shape and reports business fine 

 for a new firm. 



The Columbus Floral Co. sold out 

 everything that looked like a flower 

 and says that on Monday it was diffi- 

 cult to promise anything until the cut 

 came in. 



Richard Winters had a good cut of 

 sweet peas, of which he makes a 

 specialty, 



Fred Bauman said St. Valentine busi- 

 ness was fair for a beginner, as he had 

 been started only a little over a week 

 at 956 West Broad street, but he hopes 

 to work up a fine neighborhood trade, 

 as he is away out from the shopping 

 district. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. cleaned 

 up on everything in the way of cut 

 stock and about all the plants that 

 were ready to go out. 



Graff Bros, report heavy sales for St. 

 Valentine's day. J. M.

 select the cmttings that are propagated for selling, just as carefully 

 as those intended for our own stock. That's why they give satisfac- 

 tion. We are propagating : —
