The Market 



We are having weather much more 

 appropriate to April than to this month. 

 The temperature rises to about 60 de- 

 grees every day. The frost is all out of 

 the ground. In several localities I have 

 noticed lilacs with the buds starting, 

 some even showing color. A few more 

 days of this kind of weather and a heavy 

 freeze will do a great deal of damage. 



Business has been all that could be 

 desired. The supply has been about 

 equal to the demand and prices well 

 sustained. Bride roses have perhaps been 

 the scarcest article on the market, as 

 there are not enough of them to fill all 

 orders. American Beauties have not 

 been coming so very strong and more 

 could be used at times. Bulbous stock 

 has been having its innings and has 

 been selling in first-class shape. Tulips 

 have been in especially good demand. 

 Violets are not quite in such heavy sup- 

 ply and are selling fairly well. Lilies 

 of all kinds have been good property. 



Cold storage ferns are beginning to be 

 scarce, especially good ones. Asparagus 

 plumosus and Sprengeri are scarce. Smi- 

 lax is none too plentiful. There is 

 plenty of good adiantum but it sells 

 well. 



The retail florists are filling their win- 

 dows with plants, ready for the spring 

 trade. Some fine azaleas and primulas 

 are shown. 



Carnation Show. 



The committee in charge of our carna- 

 tion show and the banquet to be given 

 to visitors March 10 reports everything 

 almost in readiness. It is expected the 

 invitation extended to all florists to be 

 present at our carnation show will bring 

 a large number of visitors. From pres- 

 ent indications the show will be a great 

 one and well worth any grower's time. 

 Several of the largest seedling producers 

 in the country have promised to have 

 their latest varieties on exhibition. Any 

 one wishing to receive a schedule of pre- 

 miums can obtain same by addressing 

 the undersigned. C. J. Ohmer.

SHEEP MANIRE. 



J. D. Thompsoti, of the J. D, Thompson 

 Carnation Co., says of our material: 



^It is very quick to act, giving the plants 

 a strong, vigorous growth, and also has a 

 tendency to stiffen the stem of the carnation. 

 We consider it one of the best fertilizers 

 which can be used for Carnations.'*
