cities are patronizing it as liberally as 

 possible. For a number of years we had 

 no means of getting pots, only as we 

 had them shipped in. Now a telephone 

 order will bring them. 



Miss H. B. Whitted states that trade 

 has kept up nicely. Funeral work has 

 been the main feature. She complains 

 of the poor stock on the market. 



Carlson & Swanson seem to have been 

 fortunate so far this season in having 

 good cuts of roses. Their Maids and 

 Brides are fine. 



Will & Son have been cutting some 

 fine carnations, which find a ready mar- 

 ket with one of the largest retailers. 



St.PauL 



E. F. Lemke is cutting some fine En- 

 chantress and Lawson. Trade, he says, 

 has been quite active the last week. 



Holm & Olson are gradually getting 

 their large store in good shape. Owing 

 to the immense space it covers, they were 

 compelled to order a number of new fix- 

 tures, which had to be made to order, 

 and which delayed them to some extent. 

 They report trade as being good, espe- 

 cially in funeral work. 



C. F. Vogt has done well the last week, 

 having turned out more funeral designs 

 thail in any week for some time. His 

 designs for the Heck funeral . were ar- 

 tistically made up, all large pieces.

The Market. 



Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — About $100 dam- 

 ag^ was done to the greenhouse of Ira G. 

 Marvin January 14 by fire which origi- 

 nated in the boiler-room from an over- 

 heated drum. 



The market the last week was on the 

 clearing point. Carnations were more 

 scarce than expected and brought $4 to 

 $5 per hundred. Roman hyacinths and 

 Paper White narcissi were flooding the 

 commission houses and were bringing 

 usual prices. Violets are plentiful and 

 sell for $1.50 per hundred. Tulips are 

 coming in, but not much can be said in 

 their favor as yet. 



Varioui Notes. 



A trip to the establishment of the 

 Storrs & Harrison Co. found many 

 things of interest to the trade. They 

 have an immense lot of roses in small 

 pots for their spring trade. Ed George 

 showed me a lot of tree Baby Ramblers, 

 grafted on standards. These make a 

 nice summer ornament. He also has 

 some on Manetti, which make a stronger 

 and bushier growth than is seen gener- 

 ally. Their palms are good and I don't 

 think they can be beaten. This firm also 

 imports an enormous lot of hardy azaleas 

 and rhododendrons, for which they find 

 a ready sale. Whitmani ferns are grown 

 here on a large scale and are in fine 

 shape. Mr. George spoke of remodeling 

 one-half of their entire establishment 

 the coming summer. 



Oscar Theile, of Eddy road, has pur- 

 chased some property on the outskirts of 

 the west side and it is said he will erect 

 a new establishment. 



Bate Bros, have one entire house de- 

 voted to sweet peas. Some of the best 

 Asparagus plumosus which comes to the 



Cleveland market is here seen in abun- 

 dance. Bate Bros, are making prepara- 

 tions for a large stock of roses the com- 

 ing year. 



Mr. Bartells, of Dover, O., has eleven 

 200-foot houses planted entirely to car- 

 nations. His place is what formerly 

 was known as the Essex Greenhouses. 



Mrs. Ella Grant Wilson is reopening 

 her greenhouses. 



Visitors the past week: C. Schwake, 

 with Charles F. Meyer ; C. B. Knickman, 

 of McHutchinson & Co., both of New 

 York. W. G. N.

NASHVILLE, TENN. 



Current Comment. 



January 1 witnessed many changes 

 among the florists in this city and every 

 move is an indication of prosperous 

 business. 



Miss E. Birn, for many years on 

 Church street, has moved to Spruce street, 

 near Broad street. A visit to her store 

 shows that the place is well equipped to 

 take care of the business. The large 

 ice-box across the rear of the store is a 

 beauty and the stock of pot plants and 

 cut flowers is in excellent condition and 

 tastefully arranged. 



The Joy & Son Co. was obliged, by in- 

 creased business and lack of room in the 

 old stand at 600 Church street, to move 

 to No. 601, directly opposite, which was 

 done January 1. When the carpenters 

 and painters have finished, this firm will 

 have a store that Nashville will be proud 

 of. The store will be finished in white 

 and gold, with full glass front, the re- 

 frigerator running lengthwise of the
