The Market 



For the last fortnight trade in all hor- 

 ticultural lines has not been brisk, as 

 compared with the exceptionally large 

 business we have all been doing lately. 

 There has been reason for this in the 

 unseasonable weather. Added to this we 

 have- liad a large fire in the very center 

 of the retail district, stopping the electric 

 cars and otherwise interfering with busi- 

 ness. Prices, of course, have settled to a 

 lower and steady basis since Easter, but 

 are not so low as they were a year ago 

 at this time. It has been marked lately 

 that in roses the sales of the Richmond 

 have been surely and steadily increasing; 

 in fact, many of the craft feel that the 

 great popularity of this fine rose is hurt- 

 ing to quite an extent the sales of the 

 American Beauty. Stock of all kinds has 

 been in ample supply and of good quality. 



The Florists' Qub. 



The monthly meeting of the club took 

 place April 9. President Sherman F. 

 Stephens was in the chair and, as usual, 

 the members turned out in goodly num- 

 bers. The fall show and the spring dis- 

 tribution of seeds to school children were 

 the topics for discussion. We had one 

 of the best displays of plants and flow- 

 ers we have had since the point system of 

 awards was started last fall. John Wil- 

 liams, for a fine specimen of Araucaria 

 excelsa, received 20 points; R. A. Currie, 

 for an excellent pan of tournesol red 

 tulips, 15 points; I. D. Siebert, for a 

 vase of callas, 13 points, and some 

 splendid spikes of King of the Blues in 

 the single hyacinth class brought 13 

 points to Sherman F. Stephens. The 

 ■committee also especially commended 

 John Williams' geraniums. 



A committee consisting of Messrs. R. 

 A. Currie, James McKeller, W. Metz- 

 maier, George Bauman and Jacob Reich- 

 ert, was chosen to arrange the annual 

 field day. It was also planned to hold a 

 rose and strawberry show in June, and 

 to make the occasion a ladies' night. 



Various Notes.
