 of a coal strike. 



Bassett & Washburn are still putting 

 more than 1,000 Kichmond cuttings iu 

 the sand every day. They now have

 didly. O. P. Bassett and wife are now 

 at Augusta, Ga. 



M. Kockland, who has for a long time

his trip to New Orleans and the Mardi 

 Gras. He reports that the absence of 

 New Orleans business noted at Chicago 

 was only the reflection of a falling off in 

 the retail business done for Mardi Gras. 

 He reports that Harry Papworth's new 

 plant at New Orleans is turning out 

 roses with first-class heads but that they 

 have not yet been able to get the stem. 

 F. P. Davis, of Mobile, is sending to 

 New Orleans as good roses as can be 

 grown anywhere. 



A. L. Randall and Mrs. Randall went 

 to West Baden Tuesday. 



Wietor Bros, report that the past 

 month was the best February in the his- 

 torj' of their concern. 



Phil Schupp, of Budlong's, says that 

 there is a good demand for carnation 

 plants from soil for early delivery. 



August Poehlmann says that the busi- 

 ness Of the Poehlmann Bros. Co. for the 

 last half of 1905 was very much better 

 than any previous period, the summer 



months being more than double what 

 they had ever been before. Since Janu- 

 ary 1 he says the business has just about

 taken into consideration that they are 

 not this year doing the cutting business 

 as formerly because they need the stock 

 for planting their own new range of 

 over a quarter of a million feet of glass. 

 Mr. Poehlmann says that it is indis- 

 putable that cuts this year are not as 

 heavy as usual. He attributes the de- 

 ficiency in carnations to the overdose of 

 water in the wet summer of last year. 



In this column last week it was stated 

 that "the A. L. Randall Co. is handling 

 apple blossoms and bridal wreath spiraea 

 from Emil Buettner." They had the 

 goods, all right, but it happens that the 

 bridal wreath was grown by J. F. Klim- 

 mer instead of Mr. Buettner. 



It has recently become known that 

 a few days before his death Marshall 

 Field bought Handel hall. . This is the
