BANNERS ELK, N. C 



F. W. Richards & Co., who have a large 

 business here in the lumber trade and 

 who supply a great many florists with 

 galax leaves, ferns and leucothoe sprays, 

 have separated the two departments of 

 their business. The department which has 

 to do with florists will hereafter be con- 

 ducted in the name of the North Carolina 

 Evergreen Co. There will be no change 

 in management ; F. M. Richards, who has 

 had charge of the evergreen department 

 for eight years, will continue to handle 

 that end of the business as heretofore. 

 They send out many millions of galax 

 leaves each season, having customers in 

 almost every state, from Maine to Cali- 

 fornia, and the galax leaf industry has 

 grown to be one of the important factors 

 in this region, furnishing employment for 

 a large number of pickers. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market 



Trade the early part of last week was 

 quiet, but there was a decided improve- 

 ment the latter part of the week. Stock 

 of all kinds is being received in quantity 

 and made it an easy matter to fill orders, 

 large or small, with good material. Car- 

 nations remain about as before — plenty 

 for everybody, and then some more. 

 Sweet peas are received in large quan- 

 tities and sell well. Roses are being 

 sent in more freely, some finding their 

 way to the street fakers. 



Various Notes. 



Quantities of flowers of all kinds were 



used for the Collinwood school disaster, 

 the call being mostly for light colored 

 stock, of which the town was well cleaned 

 out. The florists responded most nobly 

 by giving both loose flowers, sprays and 

 wreaths, and none of the unfortunate 



raVERY now and then a well 

 u9 pleased reader speaks the word 

 which is the means of bringing a new 

 advertiser to

msTs 



Such friendly assistance is thoroughly 

 appreciated. 



Ghre us the name of anyone from 

 whom you are buying, not an adver- 

 tiser. We especially wish to interest 

 those selling articles of florists' use 

 not at present advertised.

families who could not buy flowers had to 

 go without' there was enough for all. 



S. Warnke & Son had a busy day 

 March 9, having twenty-four pieces for 

 one funeral. 



The J. M. Gasser Co. had orders for 



several wagon loads of flowers to be sent 

 to Collinwood. 



J. Kirshner has had a busy week, hav- 

 ing had a great many large funerals.

The Market. 



The demand is lifeless. There is prac- 

 tically nothing doing as far as the 

 stores are concerned. The fakers have 

 the full swing of the market, and they 

 are making prices to suit themselves. 

 Some of the wholesalers report that the 

 supply of flowers is beginning to shorten 

 up, but we all hope that some morning 

 soon we shall come down to business and 

 find the storemen in the market as they 

 usually are. Some growers report that 

 carnations are shortening up, and the 

 glut cannot last much longer, and roses 

 are reported the same way, but we will 

 make no predictions until that condition 

 is a little more visible to the naked eye. 



Various Notes. 



Max Rudolph is confined to the hos- 

 pital, where he underwent a minor opera- 

 tion. He is getting along nicely and 

 will be out in a few more days. 



James Allan has returned from a three 

 weeks' stay in Boston, where he went to 

 bury his father. 



L. H. Kyrk reports the first gladioli 

 of the season. The variety is Majestic, 

 and it is a beautiful thing. He also re- 

 ceived a lot of small mums, which can 

 be said to be the last of the season. 



The sellers of green carnation dye in 

 this city report a rushing business, which
