TOLEDO, OHIO. 



The Market. 



There does not seem to be a discourag- 

 ing note as to future business. While 

 the sale of flowers has been somewhat 

 limited during the last few days, it has 

 not been an unexpected slump and there 

 is no disappointment expressed by the 

 local dealers. 



There has been a steady demand for 

 roses, however, ever since the holiday sea- 

 son, and assorted varieties have been sold 

 in large numbers during the last few 

 weeks. There is not quite as strong a 

 demand for carnations as usual at this 

 time of the year and at present violets 

 seem to hold the call. 



There is an ample supply of stock of 

 all sorts, and while shipments from the 

 putside have not been as great as they 

 might be, local growers report excellent 

 conditions. 



Variotis Notes. 



Mrs. E. Suder says that her hyacinths, 

 narcissi and violets are the best she has 

 ever raised, and that one house of sweet 

 peas is in exceptionally good condition. 



Although there is no contest on among 

 local florists, it s6ems that each one is 

 trying to outdo the other in the matter 

 of beautiful window decorations. Par- 

 ticular among these show displays is the 

 window at the new retaU store of Geo. A. 

 Heinl, on Superior street, which is filled 

 to overflowing with azaleas, tulips, mar- 

 guerites, feweet peas and lilies of the val- 

 ley. The Schoen Floral Co., the Barrow 

 Floral Co. and the store of Miss Helen 

 Patten have other notable displays. 



Geo. A. Heinl is spending several days 

 at his brother's home in Terre Haute, 

 Ind. Mr. Heinl 's health has not been 

 the best of late. 



John Barrow, who for several years 

 has conducted a greenhouse on Detroit 

 avenue, near the outskirts of the city, has 

 opened a new retail store in a recently 

 completed building at Adams street and 

 Ashland avenue. Business has been in- 

 creasing in fine shape. 



The Youngstown Floral Co., on Madi- 

 son avenue, expects 50,000 violets to be 

 delivered to its store in a few weeks for 

 the Valentine day trade. There is a par- 

 ticularly large demand for violets here on 

 this festal ^y. 



John G. Heinl, of Terre Haute, Ind., 

 visited his brother George, the local flo- 

 rist, several days last week. H. L. S. 



The Beview will send the Book of 

 Grafted Eoses for 25 cents. 



The Standard 

 Steam Trap 



is acknowledged the best for the 

 florist because it is durable, and does 

 its work without trouble and annoy* 

 ance, saving its cost by the economy 

 in coal bills.

 The John Davis Company, Chicago, HI. 



Gkntlemen:— You can strongly and unhesitatingly recommend the 

 "Eclipse" piston type reducing valve to florists. We have two purchased 

 of you last year. We would not have them out for double their cost and 

 find them as sensitive as a watch. We will be in Chicago soon to take up 

 the vacuum system with you. Vours truly,

This is the time, at the end of Jan- 

 uary or in the first days of February, 

 when business is generally starting at the 

 market, and judging from the stock that 

 some florists are already bringing, buy- 

 ers must be thinking that our spring is 

 opening. 



Paul Abele, George Thomas and M. M. 

 de Lapouyade, at the French market, had 

 an assortment of blooming plants that 

 could not be much better for an Easter 

 Sunday. Abele Bros, say that their 

 stock is unusually large and in good con- 

 dition. 



E. Valdejo, the retired florist, has a 

 good sized piece of ground adjoining his 

 newly built residence. He cannot help 

 cultivating for a pastime, if nothing else, 

 and he says he cannot grow pansies and 

 sweet peas enough to supply the demand. 



C. Ory met with a serious accident 

 while riding in his wagon on St. Charles 

 avenue. A missile was thrown at him 

 by a mischievous boy, breaking his nose. 



Louis Brichner, formerly with U. J. 

 Virgin and the Metairie Eidge Nursery, 

 has formed a partnership with O. Knob- 

 loch and established himself at James A. 

 Newsham's old place, on Nashville ave- 

 nuCj having bought from J. A. Newsham
