money. He has, however, saved some- 

 thing in coal consumption. 



The retailers were well pleased with 

 the first half of January and have had 

 no complaint to make of the latter half, 

 although for the last two weeks there 

 has been little but funeral work. With 

 an average demand in January, the re- 

 tailers have made fully as .much money, 

 if not more than usual, because of the 

 cheaper wholesale prices of cut stock. 



Greenhouse Building. 



Aside from the large ranges which 

 Peter Reinberg and the Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co. have in contemplation, and the ex- 

 tensive rebuilding to be done by George 

 Reinberg and others, it appears that there 

 will be much building this season on the 

 part of the smaller growers. The cheap- 

 ness of glass is one of the strong induce- 

 ments to build. What the season holds 



forth in the way of greenhouse building 

 is shown in a report by the John C. 

 Moninger Co., which says that in Janu- 

 ary estimates have been sent out on more 

 jobs than in any other moi^th in the his- 

 tory of the concern. It furthermore is 

 stated that the estimates are not on wild 

 cat schemes, but on additions of two or 

 three houses for established florists. 



Various Notes. 



The sympathy of the trade again goes 

 out to the Hauswirth family in the death 

 of Ed Hauswirth 's second child, a boy 

 of 5 months, who died January 25. 



H. E. Philpott, of Winnipeg, was a vis- 

 itor last week. 



Last season Bassett & Washburn re- 

 ceived, from the W. W. Barnard Co., 

 5,000 bulbs of a new strain of Harrisii, 

 coming from some undivulged southern 

 island source. They like them so well 



that they doubled the order for this year. 

 Arnold Ringier aays the source of supply 

 is a new one and the crop this year will 

 be from 125,000 to 175,000 bulbs. 



H. R. Hughes is preparing for the 

 Valentine's business by sending out one 

 of his characteristic advertising folders, 

 with a Valentine's story and offering 

 special Valentine's boxes of flowers at 

 $1, $2 and $3 each. 



Scheiden & Schoos say the business in 

 carnation cuttings is starting fairly well. 



F. F. Benthey reports business in Jan- 

 uary satisfactory. 



C. W. McKellar looks for an early re- 

 vival of the orchid market, when cropa 

 pass off. 



A note on the untimely death of Gu9 

 Wittbold appears in the obituary column 

 this week. 



E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 says that Dorner's Winona is a popular
