the outlook it will be some time till 

 there is really a good supply of them. 

 At present it is just as well that they 

 are scarce, for with the mum in first 

 place there would not be so much de- 

 mand for them. As it is, they will most 

 probably he in good crop when most 

 wanted. Violets are just about ecjual to 

 the dennmd. Valley is selling very well. 

 Other lilies are in good demand, with 

 a fair sujiply.

Various Notes. 



D. Rusconi is now nicely fixed up in 

 his new location at 1L*8 West Sixth 

 street. He has gone into the retail cut 

 liower l)usin(>ss in conjunction with his 

 wholesale and retail bulb and plant busi- 

 nes.s. and it is now rumored tliat he will 

 <lo a wholesale cut liower business as 

 well. Mr. IJusconi has always done a 

 good business in this locality ami is well 

 known .-ind liked by the trade in general. 



(ieorge i: Allan rt'poit that they will 

 not force ijuite so many bulbs this year 

 as last, but .still the amount will be 

 enormous. They have been making a 

 specialty of bulb forcing for many years 

 and their pimliict is known for its high 

 ijiiality all over this section of the coiin- 

 t ry. 



lien (Jeorgi' has been sulVering with a 

 very heavy cold for a long time. On 

 several occasions he has been ob'ige<l to 

 stop work for a day or two. The cold 

 was one of those summer kinds which 

 are .so- hard to lose. At last ri'ports ho 

 was getting betti'r. 



A. Sunderbruch 's .Sons leport business 

 as very good, on an average, this fall. 

 This firm is fine of the most sucees,sful 

 in this city, and if tlit>y i-eport that
