The Market. 



Business continues good, with an 

 adequate supply of plants and out flow- 

 ers to meet the demand. Boses and 

 carnations are good. Potted plants and 

 all bulbous stock are plentiful and the 

 sale is brisk. As Easter approaches, 

 preparations are being made for a big 

 business, which is sure to come. 



Various Notes. 



Karl Zeidler has an immense stock 

 of plants of all kinds, especially gera- 

 niums, of which he has about 15,000, 

 all of which are fine. He has some fine 

 spiraeas, but says the sale of these is 

 slow this year, while in other years 

 they have sold fast. His bulbous stock 

 is good. 



J. C. Elspermann is busy with fu- 

 neral work every day and the sale of 

 potted plants is heavy. His stock of 

 plants, including geraniums, is large 

 and in good shape for the spring trade. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons are enjoy- 

 ing their usual run of business. Their 

 roses and carnations are in good crop. 



The William Blackman Floral Co. is 

 making large cuts of roses and carna- 

 tions. Its stock of pot and bulbous 

 plants is large and varied. 



Miss Nellie Goodge is having a large 

 amount of funeral work. Her stock of 

 spring plants is good, and her snap- 

 dragon is fine. The carnations are pro- 

 ducing some excellent flowers. 



Royston & Fenton have dropped two 

 benches of old Ivory and Bridesmaid 

 roses and will grow in their place to- 

 mato plants for spring sale. They sell 

 thousands of them. Their shipping 

 trade in plants and cuttings of coleus 

 is good. 



Mrs. M. S. Doerr is expecting a big 

 demand at Easter for plants and cut 

 flowers. She keeps a good stock of 

 carnations and potted plants on hand 

 at all times. 



Henry Seymour is getting his share of 

 business. 



Louis Fritsch looks for a rush at 

 Easter. He is doing a good business 

 each week. E. L. F.
