The Great Central Market 



There are few who make other than a 

 thoroughly satisfactory report of the 

 business in the })ast week. It is unde- 

 niable tliat with a majority of growers 

 l>roductioii is not so lieavy as we might 

 «xpect it to be in view of the mild 

 temperature and unusual amount of sun- 

 shine in the past month. It has not 

 taken an especially heavy demand to 

 keep the market well cleaned up and to 

 maintain prices at an unusually high 

 level for the season. 



Beauties are somewhat more abundant 

 but are still good property. Brides have 

 been in better demand than Maids, but 

 both have sold out (juickly when of sat- 

 isfactory quality for the shipping re- 

 quirements. Low grade Brides and 

 Maids have not sold this week as well as 

 they did in the past fortnight. Uncle 

 .John is steadily winning friends. Lib- 

 erty and Richmond are short of the 

 market requirement.s. 



A few days of especially good weather 

 have brought along the carnations m 

 fine shape, but the demand is so good 

 that it has been necessary for some 

 houses to cut their orders quite severely. 

 The quality of the stock was never better 

 and its ability to travel and then stay 

 awake in the retailers' ice boxes is 

 much improved. The market is over- 

 loaded with bulbous material. The re- 

 ceipts of Harrisii have slacked off, but 

 on all other items there has been an in- 

 crease. Tulips of the better sorts sell 

 ■well, but there are enough of them for 

 all requirements. Valley is very fine. 



Violets did exceptionally well for Val- 



entine's day and have maintained their 

 position in the days which have since 

 passed. Some fine stock is coming from 

 Rhinebeck and tnere are large receipts 

 of fragrant home-grown singles, which 

 many retailers find are preferred 



E. C. Amling reports that the green 

 goods market is showing increased ac- 

 tivity. There is complaint from several 

 sources as to the quality of ferns, ar- 

 riving shipments and cold storage. 



Various Notes. 



The funeral of George Wietor, held 

 at St. Henry's church last Thursday 

 morning, was largely attended. Mr 

 Wietor had lived on High Ridge for 

 more than fifty years and had hccu ihe 

 neighborhood grow from a wilderneF-< 

 to one of the principal greenhouse and 

 market gardening sections of the United 

 States. He was known and liked by 

 practically every man, woman and child 

 in the region. Mr. Wietor was related 

 to the Reinbergs by marriage and one 

 of his two daughters is the wife of 

 dohn Muno. 



The wholesale florists have never had 

 a permanent organization. They pro- 

 pose to have one, and will hold a meet- 

 ing on Friday for the purpose .)f adopt- 

 ing by-laws, etc., preparatory to incor- 

 porating. 



E. F. Winterson, who is manager of 

 the J?'lorists' Club's flower show sched- 

 uled for March 8, says that everv-thing 

 indicates the best exhibition the club 

 has ever enjoyed. Out of town ex- 

 hibitors who cannot personally stage 

 their stock are invited to send exhibits 

 in his care, to 45 Wabash avenue, arriv- 

 ing on the morning ot March 8. 



The financial columns of the city 



papers announce the reorganization of 

 the Ravenswood Exchange bank and 

 state that the board of directors has 

 been ' ' strengthened by the addition of 

 the name of Peter Reinberg. ' ' In the 

 city council last week Mr. Reinberg 

 voted for high license in spite of the 

 fact that the Columbus Brewing Co., of 

 which he is vice-president, has interests 

 which might have been expected to 

 prompt him to vote the other way. 



Weiland & Risch liave a new crop of 

 Brides and Maids just on. The Maids 

 show particularly fiue color. 



L. Coatsworth, of the Benthey-Coats- 

 worth Co., expects to go to New Castle 

 the latter part of this week to super- 

 intend building operations. 



Bert Budlong was at South Bend a 

 day or two ago to attend a dinner given 

 by Mr. Treanor, of Treanor & Rettic. 



Mrs. C. W, McKellar left on Tuesday 

 with a party of friends to attend the 

 Mardi Gras at New Orleans. 



Poehlmann Bros. (Jo. has been miss- 

 ing stock from the greenhouses and 

 early Monday morning the night watch- 

 man caught the son of a fireman making 

 off with an armful of carnations, 

 I'iamingo is giving them very fine flowers 

 at present, but it doesn't follow that it 

 is because of the rarity of good results 

 from this variety that the boy stole 

 them. 



L. Baumann, tnc supply dealer, is 

 quite seriously ill. 



Vaughan & Sperry state that it gives 

 them pleasure to report that the week 

 of February 11 to 17 was the best in 

 their history, with the single exception 

 of Christmas week. It* was even better 

 than Christmas of 1904.
