The Market 



While the great eastern cities seem 

 to be paralyzed with a few inches of 

 snow, a forty-mile breeze and a hard 

 frost, we think eighteen inches of snow, 

 a seventy-mile zephyr and 10 degrees 

 below zero merely seasonable and it does 

 not disarrange any program whatever. 

 Nothing to complain of in the above 

 line and business, by some cause or oth- 

 er, is slowly improving. Roses keep 

 quite scarce. Carnations are on the in- 

 crease. Violets have shortened up in 

 quantity and a better price is the con- 

 sequence. Tulips and daffodils of good 

 quality are now plentiful and with plen- 

 ty of Lilium Harrisii and lily of the 

 valley we are all able to take care of 

 the orders that drift our way. 



Various Notes. 



I am afraid that our city supplied 

 but few delegates to the Chicago con- 

 vention. Those who could go and did 

 not scarcely realize what they missed. 

 To travel around sight-seeing more than 

 you can afford, either in pocket or 

 time, is certainly not to be commended, 

 yet how often does a visit to some well 

 ordered, up-to-date place, or attendance 

 at such a meeting and exhibition as 

 that just closed, benefit you by observa- 

 tion or knowledge absorbed ten fold 

 more than these little journeys cost. 

 The above remarks are for the espe- 

 cial benefit of some very dear friends 

 noar home, who possibly think that 

 there's "not much more to learn." Ob, 

 ray! Few indeed of us have any orif»- 

 inality. "We are simply copyists and if 

 we don't go out and notice what suc- 

 cessful men are doing we will soon lapse 

 into ' * back numbers.-' ' 



There is an effort being made in some 

 quarters to suppress the growing and 

 sale of Primula obconica. The public 

 press will be appealed to for assistance. 

 This seems hardly right. It is true, as 

 we are all aware, that a few people are 

 poisoned by it; that is, if they touch 

 the foliage there is an irritation of 

 the skin about as the bare-legged ur- 

 chins of the old country used to get 

 when trespassing on the precincts of 

 the "stinging nettle" of dear old mem-

ory. We don't think anybody is im- 

 mune against the stinging nettle, but 

 only the small minority feel any annoy- 

 ance from this beautiful primula now 

 so largely grown and sold. In beauty, 

 freedom of bloom and continuance of 

 attractiveness it far surpasses the Sin- 

 ensis varieties. If obconica bites you, 

 don't buy it, but let those to whom it 

 is harmless grow this excellent house 

 plant. 



Prof. Cowell, of South Park, starts 

 in a few days for Panama. He's not 

 going to dig a section of the canal, but 

 expects to bring home several unknown 

 species of Bromeliacea which abound in 

 that malaria-haunted region of the earth. 



Dutchmen from across the water have 

 been arriving here for the past three 

 weeks. They have so advanced their 

 season of arrival that soon they wi'I
