bert Amling and his family will remain 

 at Orange, Gal., for at least a couple of 

 months. The Maywood grower acquired 

 an automobile as soon as he reached the 

 coast, being accustomed to that method 

 of locomotion at home, and is seeing the 

 sights. 



The Florists' Club will hold a meeting 

 at the Union Restaurant, 111 Randolph 

 street, tonight, March 5. If the members 

 approve the change, the meetings will be 

 held there henceforth. 



Wietor Bros, are beginning to get ac- 

 tion on their next crop of Beauties and 

 at the same time are beginniDg--tg_prlai} 

 replanting some of their Beauty houses, 

 to get a summer crop. 



Stollery Bros, say that February busi- 

 ness with them was better than a year 

 ago, although January fell a little be- 

 hind. They say it is a great deal easier 

 to sell a plant at the store than it is to 

 sell one where the customer has all the 

 stock in the greenhouses to look over be- 

 fore making a selection, and they now do 

 little retail business at the greenhouses. 



George Reinberg appears to be well 

 satisfied with the results of his invest- 

 ment in orchids. The returns did not 

 begin to really come in until about Jan- 

 uary 1. 



Emma Baisek, daughter of Mr. and 

 Mrs. Stephan Raisek, 1553 Ogden ave- 

 nue, is a leap year girl. She is sixteen 



years old and there was a celebration of 

 her fourth birthday February 29. 



Charles E. Morton, formerly at 3626 

 Cottage Grove avenue, is now manager 

 of the retail store of the Redondo Floral 

 Co., at Los Angeles. 



The George Wittbold Co. reports that 

 the retail business, which is really the 

 test of trade conditions, was greater in 

 February than in any February since the 

 firm has been keeping records, and that 

 the same may be said of both December 

 and January. 



NEVYORK. 



The Market. 



Shipments are growing with the run- 

 ning of the sap in the trees. It begins 

 to smell like spring. If you shut your 

 eyes on the slush and fog and open them 

 in front of any first-class flower store 

 on Broadway or Fifth avenue, you will 

 declare it is spring already. Acacia, tu- 

 lips,, lilacs, rhododendrons, primulas, for- 

 sythia; everything that breathes the air 

 of the vernal season. These retail win- 

 dows are really an inspiration. 

 . Apart from violets, there is not much 

 change to record in values. These have 

 retrograded still further and Mr. Slinn 

 tells me the news from the growers up 

 the Hudson is of increasing shipments. 

 I saw the sidewalk gentry offering big 

 bunches at 15 cents. One of the whole- 

 salers disposed of many thousands at 10 

 cents a hundred, he tells me, and can see 

 no light on the situation. The fact is, 

 evidently, that the growing power has 

 outgrown the present possibilities of the 

 market. There will be only the survival 

 of the fittest, if a change for the better 

 does not soon appear. 



Rose prices have not changed. Carna- 

 tions are abundant and dragging. Or- 

 chids are scarcer and higher, 60 cents the 

 top. The balance of the list remains in 

 statu quo, which means about the same. 

 The holidays are over, the festivities are 

 shelved, the market has no fulcrums by
