COLUMBUS, OHIO. 



State of Trade. 



Trade is still heavy; there is no let-up 

 to the funeral work. Some extra large 

 orders have been handled, which used 

 up loads of stock. Roses are doing fine, 

 especially Maids, which are just the 

 right color, and when they come that 

 way they are hard to beat. Carnations 

 are coming much better and there are 

 not quite so many splits as there were 

 at last writing. Bulbous stock is com- 

 ing in heavily now, but there has been 

 no glut on anything so far this season 

 and it does not seem likely there will be 

 for some time to come. 



Various Notes. 



The riorists' Club held its regular 

 meeting Tuesday evening, January 28. 

 After a short business meeting the mem- 

 bers all adjourned to the bowling alleys, 

 where they had a good time for a couple 

 of hours. The high scores were made by 

 McKellar, Seibert, Currie, Blum and 

 Munk. 



Eobert Schenck reports business good 

 for a beginner. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is in- 

 stalling a cistern for catching water from 

 the range of houses and also one for 

 manure water, which will be pumped out 

 with a steam pump, through the water- 

 ing pipes. ' 



The Franklin Park Floral Co. reports 

 business heavy for the last two weeks 

 and stock doing finely.

 neral work lately.
