OPHELIA 



A New Rose of True Worth 



We have grown this magnificent rose the past season with most gratifying results. As a free and 

 vigorous grower and great producer it has no equal. It sets bud freely in the short days of winter, 

 and is now coming in with a heavy crop, doing equally well on grafts or own roots. 



MRS. GEORGE SHAWYER ^^ ^^ present more favorably thought of than ever, and we intend to again plant it heavily this 

 ■ ' season. As a naoney getter, our experience has proven its superiority over all sorts, and having 

 grown extensively on own roots and grafts, we have no hesitancy in staling that, like Sunburst, it does better on own roots. 



We have a splendid lot «>f both varieties (graits and own roots) ready for shipment., 

 together with a choice lot of Sunburst, Ward, Prince d'Arenberg^, White and Pink Killarney, cuttings taken 

 from sand the latter part of December. For prices and further particulars write

The Market. 



During the last week the weather 

 has been unsettled, with cold March 

 winds. This meant uncertain crops in 

 the main, though there were fairly- 

 large quantities of many kinds of flow- 

 ers received, and of some there was an 

 abundance. Sales have been only fair, 

 though there has been considerable 

 funeral work. A lack of large social 

 functions curtailed cut flower sales a 

 little. 



The prices of roses are reasonable, 

 but the supply is not overlarge, because 

 of the fact that the growers are hold- 

 ing back in order to have a large sup- 

 ply for Easter. Carnations are fairly 

 abundant and are selling well, Victory 

 being in special demand. Sweet peas 

 are selling well. Some of the local 

 florists have some beautiful Spencers. 

 The prices of both carnations and sweet 

 peas are reasonable. Pansies are com- 

 ing in well and are easy in price. There 

 is a fair sale of giganteum lilies, and 

 some callas are being called for. Good 

 mignonette is just coming into the 

 market, and a supply of French lilacs 

 has been received by some. There is 

 an active demand for orchids, garde- 

 nias and lilies of the valley. Bulbous 

 flowers, such as jonquils, narcissi, daf- 

 fodils, hyacinths and freesias, are being 

 sold in considerable quantities at mod- 

 erate prices. There are some beautiful 

 azaleas in the market. Many florists 

 have already ordered their Easter sup- 

 plies. 



Various Notes. 



Philips Bros, report that in general 

 business compares favorably with for- 

 mer years. They have had an unusually 

 large amount of -f unersrt work, but lees 

 pertaining to lajge social functions. The 

 cut flower trad^ they reporfr, is good. ' 



Charles Luthy, 363 Springfield ave- 

 nue, and G. W. LudolfiF, of the firm of 

 Ludolflf & Kautzmann, 109 Springfield 

 avenue, were members of the commit- 

 tee of arrangements for the great white 

 way opening on Springfield avenue. 

 Never before in the history of that 

 thoroughfare were there so many people 

 on the street. A large parade followed 

 the turning on of the fifty-four flaming 

 arcs, and this in turn was followed by 

 a banquet addressed by the mayor of 

 the city and other dignitaries. The 

 stores of both Mr. Luthy and Mr. 

 Ludolff were decorated with American 

 flags and bunting, and they both had 

 attractive window displays.
