was engaged in laying the foundation for 

 some mail trade, but found a good many 

 buyers willing to hand him their orders 

 on the spot. 



Albert F. Amling and family are 

 spending this week at Fort Dodge, la., 

 on the way home from California. 



E. Wienhoeber reports that a remark- 

 able run of table work has served to keep 

 business good with him during the last 

 few weeks. It is said the table work 

 has been heavier than ever before known 

 in this store. 



E. Fransen, of Scheiden & Schoos, says 

 he looks for a large supply of carna- 

 tions for Easter, and plenty of roses. 



Joseph Foerster says that in spite of 

 the dull market the first of last week, the 

 average in carnations for the week im- 

 proved about twenty per cent. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. reports an enor- 

 mous sale of southern jonquils Satur-

business exceeded that of the same week 

 a year ago, although in the week last 

 year he made delivery on several large 

 orders for Easter lilies in pots. 



Peter Reinberg is busy campaigning, 

 for his is normally a republican ward, 

 and this year's republican candidate is 

 a live member. 



George Reinberg is cutting some of 

 the spring Chatenay, on stems four and 

 five feet long. 



Frank Ayres is again on duty with his 

 brother-in-law, C. W. MeKellar. Mrs. 

 McKellar sailed from New Orleans 

 March 16 on the Southern Pacific steamer 

 for New York. 



N. J. Wietor says the improvement in 

 the market has been so great that it 

 makes him smile every time he thinks 

 about it. 



J. J. Kruchten has taken on several 

 new growers during the period of large 

 supply and is now prepared to reap the 

 benefit of improved conditions. 



A. H. Budlong says he is not inter- 

 ested in the talk of a coal miners' strike 

 and advancing prices. The J. A. Bud- 

 long coal sheds are full of fuel, bought 

 when the market was lowest. 



Visitors to the establishment of the 

 Poehlmann Bros. Co. this week have 

 spoken specially well of the way the Car- 



dinal rose is doing there. It promises to 

 be a feature of this market next year.

The Market 



There is not much to say of the mar- 

 ket this week that has not been thrashed 

 over many times during the last two 

 months. But Lent is almost over and 

 optimism is in the air. Saturday's mar- 

 ket was more cheerful and, while prices 

 did not advance, there was a generous 

 cleaning up of accumulations and the 

 market was left comparatively bare. The 

 week opens with rain and a spring tem- 

 perature. 



Roses are on crop in earnest and the 

 receipts are already enormous. This 

 may cause a shortage about Easter, and 

 many of the wholesalers predict it. 

 Beauties, after the early demand is 

 filled, often drop to $15 a hundred for 

 the best. Carnations and violets stay 

 down and sometimes it looks as if they 

 were knocked out completely. The situa- 

 tion is the more serious because so 

 many of the growers in this vicinity make 

 the carnation their specialty. 



With the Plantemen. 



Retailers are all busy and most of 

 them cheerful as to Easter sales. They 

 are buying more cautiously than usual 

 and the medium sized plants are the 

 most popular, but there will be nothing 

 worth while left over in any grower's 

 establishment within a radius of twen- 

 ty-five miles of New York city. Out at 

 Whitestone, the Hinode Co. has a grand 

 display of lilies, Japanese plants of 

 every size and age and the usual flower- 

 ing variety. Pankok & Schumacher have 

 grand ramblers and bougainvilleas and 

 Louis Dupuy.has house after house over- 

 flowing with splendid hydrangeas and 

 heather. Darlington's stock is large, 

 as usual, and over at College Point An- 

 ton Schultheis makes his annual bid for 

 appreciation. His new rose, Apple Bios-
