Quite a number of 

 participated in the 



Mrs. Leonard Kill, 

 north end florista 

 festivities. 



Jens Jensen is no longer general super- 

 intendent of the west park system ; he is 

 consulting landscape architect and his sal- 

 ary has been reduced from $6,000 to 

 $2,400 a year. It is reported the change 

 was made at his own request, to permit 

 his doing outside landscape work, but an-

other story is that a letter of recom- 

 mendation from a politician had become 

 a positive disqualification in an appli- 

 cant for a park job, with the result that 

 harmony was long since fled. However, 

 none can fail to accord Mr. Jensen 

 praise for the work done in the west 

 parks during his administration. 



Weiland & Risch say that last week 

 was easily the best of the season with 

 them. 



George Reinberg has already begun the 

 sale of Beauty bench plants, preparatory 

 to early replanting. 



Leonard Kill says Valentine's day was 

 far ahead of Thanksgiving, and he thinks 

 it will stay ahead even when Thanks- 

 giving is normally good. 



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

 ment makes the report that there was a 

 falling oflF in the sales of the cheaper 

 grades of Valentine's boxes, but a splen- 

 did increase in the calls for the better 

 grades of hampers and boxes, from 

 which they figure the trade is on a 

 fairly prosperous footing. 



C. W. McKellar reports the annual call 

 for orange blossoms as begun. It takes 



two days' notice to get them at present. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. has its seed 

 store windows full of robust chickens, as 

 an advertisement for the poultry food, 

 department. 



Certain inquisitive gentlemen have un- 

 earthed the fact that Peter Reinberg' 

 not only pays taxes on more personal 

 property than any other member of the 

 city council — indeed, four and a half 

 times as much as any other — but that 

 his assessment is two-fifths as great as 

 the combined assessments of the other 

 sixty-eight members. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. is receiving purple 

 lilac and southern jonquils. 



Otto Benthey was up from New Castle 

 this week for a few days' visit. 



Florists' feet have worn out one flight 

 of stairs on the Wabash avenue side of 

 the Atlas block and that entrance was 

 closed for a couple of days this week 

 while a new and heavier stairs was being 

 put in. 



Peter Reinberg still finds his strength 

 not as great as before his sojourn in 

 the hospital. 



N. J. Rupp has just returned from a 

 trip to Cleveland, during which he took 

 eight orders for greenhouse material. 



George Asmus lost his grip, with cloth- 

 ing and papers, at the St. Nicholas hotel, 

 Springfield, February 15. 



NEW YORK. 



TheMai^et 



The week opens with foggy weather, 

 after two days of rain and almost a 

 summer temperature. There has been lit- 

 tle change from the quotations of a 

 week ago, and if these will hold until 

 Easter there will be little complaining. 

 The tendency is slightly downward, if 

 any change is noticeable, especially on 

 violets. Gardenias have moved the other 

 way, and good stock brings readily $6 

 per dozen. The supply of roses is now 

 increasing daily. Last week the mar- 

 ket absorbed easily everything of value 

 that reached it in the rose line. Beau- 

 ties are again abundant. Killarney and 

 Richmond are in popularity. Plenty of 

 carnations in all grades are now ar- 

 riving. Never has the New York market 

 seen finer stock. Prices range from 1
