tion, though, and in his early experi- 

 ments he used it freely in various crosses. 

 Enquirer was one of the early results, 

 and though this carnation was a great 

 improvement, it still retained too much 

 of the bursting quality to be of great 

 commercial value. Mr. Witterstatter has 

 since eradicated the tendency to burst 

 from his seedlings by careful crossing. 



Heller Bros, are shipping some very 

 good Beauties to this market. They 

 report a good crop on. 



Weiland & Olinger are in with a good 

 cut, which is sold out as soon as received 

 every day. 



C. P. Dieterich & Bro., of Maysville, 

 Ky., are sending in some fine Brides 

 and Maids and their violets are as good 

 as an^ seen in this market. 



A report of the death of Wm. Cun- 

 ningham will be found in the obituary 

 column. 



Mrs. Joe Linfoot passed away from 

 heart trouble and was buried January 

 14. While her death was expected, still 

 it came as a great shock to her family 

 and to her many friends. 



Gus Adrian is on the sick list and 

 Charlie Jones is also confined to his 

 home with a bad cold. C. J. Ohmeb.

John Walker says it is not very con- 

 soling to be told by a fellow craftsman 

 that he can grow more flowers by moon- 

 light than John can by sunlight, but it is 

 about a fact just the same and condi- 

 tions have become so that another year 

 will see this big range of glass trans- 

 ported to a brighter region. The cost 

 of even attempting to keep the glass 

 free from acid and smoke is in itself a 

 serious item. And yet some things flour- 

 ish. Carnations and I'oses just linger, 

 but violets flower profusely, particularly 

 a single named Mystery, of which, this 

 season, by actual count, more than 25,- 

 000 have been picked from a bench 200 

 feet long, plants four rows in width.

The stem averages five ipches and the 

 flower is deep blue, of good size and 

 highly fragrant. It originated with Carl 

 Merkle, of Mentor, and has not, I be- 

 lieve, been widely distributed. Here is 

 an experimental house of early flowering 

 sweet peas. The earliest and most free 

 is a fine white from a leading seed house 

 and is ahead of all others'. Mr. Walker 

 says it may well be called a dark weather 

 favorite. Begonia rubra is grown in 

 large numbers. It has a good sale, being 

 one of the best flowering kind to bed 

 out. Asparagus plumosus nanus in 3- 

 inch pots, by the thousand, is thrifty 

 stock, just ready for a shift. A large 

 stock of Nephrolepis Scottii and Ficus 

 elastica is disposed of at wholesale. 



Gus. A. Geng is out of the smoke 

 zone and manages to produce a full line 

 of stock, which finds ready sale at re- 

 tail. W.
