AUSTIN, TEX. 



The grass is green and outdoor roses 

 are in bloom where protected, an unusual 

 occurrence at this time of year. Two 

 years ago there was not a store in Austin. 

 Now there are two, well stocked and cen- 

 trally located, besides three seed houses 

 that do a little in plants and flowers, 

 and all are doing well. Carnations and 

 sweet peas are blooming freely and cal- 

 las are excellent. H. B. B. 



TVIN CITIES. 



The Market. 



Trade conditions are back to a nor- 

 mal basis and some satisfaction is felt 

 by the majority that the holiday trade 

 passed off as well as it did. Upon in- 

 terviewing all of the dealers, there is 

 not one but what experienced a good 

 trade and an average increase of from 

 thirty-five per cent to fifty per cent in 

 sales over last year. The heavy plant 

 sales, with some of the trade, worked 

 against the sale of cut flowers, but the 

 good prices obtained for all blooming 

 plants undoubtedly evened . things up 

 nicely. 



Stock at this writing is not any too 

 good, possibly on account of the dark 

 weather, and further because everything 

 was cut close to supply Christmas trade. 

 A number of Christmas plants carried 

 over are in the hands of about every 

 dealer. Azaleas, it seems, did not sell 

 as well as anticipated. Few poinsettias 

 are to be seen. 



Between Christmas and New Year 's it 

 was also noticeable that prices dropped 

 considerably and, although the most of 

 the growers tried hard to maintain 

 Christmas figures, it was a hard matter 

 for them to do so. Eastern violets are 

 arriving in large numbers. The color 

 and size of the violet arc all that could 

 be expected, but the fragrance is gone 

 by the time it reaches us.

Jerry Jurgenson, who has been with 

 Holm & Olson, is now connected with 

 the Donaldson greenhouses in Minne- 

 apolis. 



Holm & Olson report a fair trade last 

 week. Funeral work was heavy. Trade 

 in the social line was quiet. 



L. L. May & Co. had the McCormick- 

 Ferguson wedding, which was one of the 

 principal events of the season. The 

 house decorations were quite unique. 

 The stairways were heavily trimmed with 

 wild smilax, poinsettias of a uniform 

 size being interspersed through the smi- 

 lax, which under the light produced a 

 brilliant effect. Handsome centerpieces 

 of Bichmonds on the reception table 

 were fine, solid colors being used 

 throughout. 



Colberg & Lemke report trade good, 

 notwithstanding the lull which is ex-

POTS OF QUALITY 



K we were to manufacture greenhouse pots from any other kind of clay, our argument that 

 IONIA. POTS are the BKST POTS would loose its effect.
