The Wisconsin grown kind, we mean; they have a Violet odor. Don't confuse these with New 

 York stock that is two or three days old before you get it. Once tried, you will find nothing 

 else to take their place. 

 Of course we have everything else in flowers, such as SWoet PeaSy Valley (all the year round), 

 Tulips, Daffodils, Lilies, Roses, Carnations and Beauties.

 light but think it the cheapest light 

 they have ever had, after trying many 

 kinds. 



Bassett & Washburn say that their 

 My Maryland plants have been standing 

 stiU for the last five or six weeks, but 

 recognize that they have not enough stock 

 to make a fair test of the variety. Up 

 to Christmas the plants did finely. 



George Weiland says retail trade is 

 first-class in Evanston. 



At E. H. Hunt's the supply depart- 

 ment was excessively busy the first of 

 this week. There was a phenomenal call 

 for Valentine's day requisites. The men 

 on the road are turning in excellent busi- 

 ness and report that everywhere they go 

 the retail florists are having a good 

 trade. 



Percy Jones states that each one of 

 the Garland brothers at Des Plaines will 

 plant 1,000 O. P. Bassett carnations 

 this season.

John Zech became a grandfather Feb-

George M. Garland is on a business

Poehlmann Bros. Co. is cutting one of

' ' It has been the best week of the 

 year, ' ' said many in the wholesale section 

 Saturday evening. Prices were firm and 

 everything of value was sold in a way 

 that indicated a healthful retail demami. 

 Beauties were aggressive at 75 cents toi 

 the best, and all roses were held at an 

 advance over values that have prevailed 

 since Christmas. Carnations were espe 

 cially strong. Valley and lilies were 

 firmer and orchids are .again nearer the 

 pedestal where they belong. Even the 

 modest violet has lifted up its drooping' 

 head. The best sold for 60 cents per 

 hundred February 6 and this week a top 

 of 75 cents may be confidently expected. 

 The windows are now gay with daffodils. 



Last week's cold wave was not of long 

 duration. From 5 degrees the transition 

 to 35 degrees was made in a day. The 

 week ended with almost a spring tempera- 

 ture. Now another chilly snap is coming 

 out of the west.
