Louis Wittbold recently sent to a list 

 of florists' clubs a paper on the evolu- 

 tion of watering in greenaouses. It inatle 

 quite a hit in Washington and at Detroit 

 the club was so thoroughly interested 

 that an invitation has been sent to Mr. 

 Wittbold to visit that city and give a 

 practical demonstration of the operation 

 of his watering apparatus. Geo. A. 

 Rackham tenders the facilities at his 

 place and Mr. Wittbold plans to accept 

 the invitation at an early day. 



It is reported that Chas. Heim, the 

 Blue Island Floral Co., has sold out his 

 stock and is endeavoring to rent the 

 10,000 square feet of greenhouse' glass, 



Jos. Foerster, at George Reinberg's, 

 says that the demand has been growing 

 steadily all season and now about takes 

 up all they are cutting except colored 

 carnations. 



At the J. A. Budlong establishment 

 they are busy grafting 50,000 roses, prin- 

 cipally Brides and Maids, but part Rich- 

 mond. 



A, F. Longren is now on the road for 

 the Chicago Carnation Co. 



P. J. Foley is about and attending to 

 business, but is not yet enjoying his full 

 strength. 



Geo. M. Garland says the iron gutter 

 business this season is better than ever. 

 He has already delivered 20,000 feet of 

 gutters for this season's houses.

The Market. 



The trade has felt the effect of Lent 

 only a little the past week, as most of 

 the stores were very busy. A number of 

 large funerals gave us several busy days. 

 Quite a number of decorations were 

 made for large down-town stores, but 

 this kind of work for weddings and 

 receptions is over for the next few weeks. 

 The wholesalers cleaned up pretty well 

 the latter part of the week and stock 

 did not accumulate as it did a wecK 

 ago. Prices went up a little on first- 

 class stock. All light-colored stock sold 

 well, very little being left over for after- 

 noon sales. 



Roses in all popular sorts are not any 

 too many, with selects at $8 per hun- 

 dred. Brides, Maids, Ivory and Rich- 

 mond are in big demand. Fancy long 

 Beauties sell well but are in limited sup- 

 ply. Plenty of shorts are to be had bui 

 quality poor. 



Carnations bring a much better price 

 than a week ago. Fancy grades are 

 again up to $3 per hundred. Among 

 those that have the call are Enchantress, 

 Lawson, Prosperity and all whites. Bulb- 

 ous stock is still very plentiful and vio- 

 lets are again abundant. Extra fine qual- 

 ity in Californias are offered at 25 cents 

 per hundred. Mignonette is offered free- 

 ly and meets with good demand. Smilax 

 is selling slowly. On all other greens 

 good sales are reported. 



Florists' Qub. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held March 8. It was not as 

 well attended as it should have been, 

 only twenty-one members being present. 

 This being the annual rose meeting, the 

 exhibition was practically confined to 

 local growers and was not nearly as large 

 as usual. Fred Ammann staged Ivory, 

 Bride, Maid, Richmond and a fine mixed 

 vase. Henry Braun, foreman for A. Jab- 

 lonsky, showed an extra fine vase pf 

 Bride and Maid. Weber & Sons had a 

 vase of Golden Gate. W. J. & M. S. 

 Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind., showed 

 Bride and Maid. The Minneapolis 

 Floral Co. sent its beautiful pink rose. 

 Miss Kate Moulton, which again at- 

 tracted much attention. 



The meeting opened promptly at 2 

 'clock, with Vice-president Steidle in the 

 chair. The discussion by Fred Ammann 

 and J. W. Dunford did not take place, 

 owing to the absence of the two gen- 

 tlemen. The chair appointed Messrs. 

 Koenig, Kellogg and Schray as judges 

 on the roses. They reported as fol- 

 lows: 



Best twenty-five white, Fred Am- 

 mann first, Henry Braun, both on Bride. 

 Red, Fred Ammann, first, with Rich- 

 mond. Any other color, Weber & Son 

 first, on Golden Gate. The exhibits were 

 then auctioned off by Frank Fillmore 

 and brought good prices. 



The next meeting will take place 

 Thursday afternoon, April 12. At this
