The Market. 



Although the weather still remains 

 quite cold, spring openings in the stores 

 are heralds of the nearness of Easter. 

 Several of the retailers have been kept 

 busy with large store decorations. This 

 and an unusual amount of funeral work 

 has somewhat cleaned up the glut of a 

 few weeks ago. Very few roses are seen 

 in the local market. 



The growers are again holding back 

 carnations for the holiday. Nothing 

 but harm can result from this practice. 

 Our customers do not want pickled stock, 

 and especially during the holidays have 

 they a right to demand fresh flowers, 

 as the price is usually doubled. Every 

 customer lost indirectly hurts some 

 grower. 



Violets are already showing the effects 

 of warmer weather. 



Calla lilies are overplentiful, while 

 longiflorums are just the opposite, more 

 especially in the long-stemmed flowers. 



Longiflorum lily plants for Easter are 

 plentiful, but are of unusually short 

 stalks. 



There seems to be an abundance of 

 blooming plants this season. 



Various Notes. 



Robert Watson was on the sick list, 

 but is again able to be around. 



Breitmeyer's delivery boys are ar- 

 rayed in fine new uniforms of a light 

 brown material with brown leather 

 gaiters. 



Schroeter's received a large consign- 

 ment of roses from S. S. Pennock, of 

 Philadelphia. They arrived in fine 

 shape. H, S. 



TOPEKA, KAN. 



Peter Miller, a florist of northern In- 

 diana, has been prospecting here for sev- 

 eral days with the object of selecting a 

 suitable location near the city for the 

 location of a range of houses. Mr. 

 Miller will erect a wholesale and retail 

 establishment either this summer or next 

 spring. He considers Topeka an ideal 

 opening for such an enterprise. He has 

 the experience and push and there is 

 plenty of capital back of him so, when 

 once started, the project should prove a 

 success. 



Here is a dollar for renewal of our 

 subscription to the florists' best paper.

 MR. E. V. 8IDELL, 



POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. 



Dear Sir:— Having used your "powdered char- 

 coal" in the composition of soil for Violets last 

 season, we are very much pleased wih the result 



Having used it in place of "wood ash" we con- 

 sider its fertilizing properties more beneficial in 

 many ways, and the cost much less. 



Its chemical action on the soil is marvelous 

 being lasting on account of stirring up the other 

 fertilizing elements, absorbing their gases, and 

 again giving them off, for tae nourishment of 

 plants. 



We highly recommend the use of charcoal 

 powder to all interested in growing Violets. 

 Very truly yours, 



THOS. DeVOY & SON.
