season. The new store at 70 "Warren 

 street is a model of convenience. Some 

 fine Japanese trees of 100 years and over 

 have lately been on exhibition there. 



Bridgeman's Seed Warehouse is busy 

 day and night, and the only worry there 

 seems to be is the need of thirty hours 

 a day to keep ahead of orders. Never- 

 theless the Rickards Bros, manage to 

 take in all the banquets and dispense 

 melody, while their list of friends and 

 customers increases. 



D. Smith & Co., the new wholesale 

 liouse at 111 West Twenty-eighth street, 

 are enthused by the addition of several 

 growers to their force, and quite en- 

 couraged, they say, by their experience 

 to date. 



The Stumpp & Walter Co. may well 

 claim one of the handsomest and most 

 (iomplcte seed stores in the country. 

 They announce an active demand for 

 ijladioli, caladiums and Gold Medal strain 

 begonias, with a complete stock of every- 

 thing for the spring trade.

The Market 



The last week the wholesale market 

 showed signs of steadiness and the re- 

 tailers report a fair trade. The whole- 

 salers were not so overstocked as the 

 week previous, both local and shipping 

 demand bointr better than at any time 

 since the holidays. 



Fancy long-stemmed American Beau- 

 ties, also the shorter grades, are in good 

 quantities. Roses in other varieties have 

 been none too plentiful, especially white. 

 Bride and Ivory are in big demand. 



Carnations sold well. These, too, in 

 white sold out clean almost every day. 

 Today, January 27, there is a large de- 

 mand for red and pink, the retailers buy- 

 ing for McKinley day. Tulips, jonquils, 

 Harrisii and callas are plentiful, also Ro- 

 mans, Paper Whites and valley. Cali- 

 fornia violets are selling for $3 per 

 thousand this week. 



Various Notes. 



Martin Reukauf, representing H. Bay- 

 ersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, is calling 

 on the trade here this week. 



B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., Phila- 

 delphia, from advance cards, is expected 

 here this week. 



H. C. Irish, superintendent of the Mis- 

 souri Botanical Garden and secretary 

 of the Council of Horticulture, was in 

 Chicago the past week, attending the 

 meeting of the council. 



E. W. Guy was in the city Saturday, 

 buying supplies. He reports everything 

 O. K. in Belleville among the florists. 



C. C. Sanders, chairman of the pottery 

 committee, says he hopes, at the next 

 meeting of the club, to show a large sub- 

 scription list to the members. Mr. Sand- 

 ers says anyone wishing to subscribe 

 can do so by calling at Kuehn's or 

 Berning's commission houses. 



Prank Fillmore was presented last 

 week with a beautiful gold ring by his 

 many friends in the Royal Arcanum, 

 as a token of esteem for his good work
