The Market 



Decoration day trade here was a hum- 

 mer. Everything was cleaned out in good 

 shape. Bouquets were the most called 

 for. Good flowers were scarce. Carna- 

 tions were none too plentiful; 75 cents 

 and $1 per dozen were the retail prices. 

 Roses were of good quality; $1 and $1.50 

 per dozen, retail, were the selling prices. 

 Candytuft and feverfew helped out con- 

 siderably. "White and purple lilac was 

 also used in the cheap bouquets. Spiraeas 

 and hydrangeas sold well. Pansies, 

 daisies and forget-me-nots in pans sold 

 well, by the dozen. These sold at 35 cents 

 and 50 cents per dozen, retail. Geraniums 

 were in tremendous demand; there were 

 hardly enough in bloom to meet the de- 

 mand. Cut flowers sold well. 



Carnations now are quite, plentiful, and 

 roses are still holding out well. Garden 

 work is still in full swing, and some of 

 the florists have large gangs at work yet. 

 We are having good, warm weather now. 

 The parks and commons are looking fine 

 just now. 



Various Notes. 



E. H, Chamberlain Tiad some nice pots 

 of dwarf forget-me-nots. He reports 

 that the call for geraniums was excep- 

 tionally good. 



A. B. Hathaway and R. H. Woodhouse 

 were kept busy filling vases and urns for 

 the cemetery trade. Mr. Hathaway had 

 some nice late tulips. 



H. A. Jahn cut some fine Lloyd carna- 

 tions. 



Charles Granger has some nice tomato 

 plants. He is growing some fine aster 

 plants. W. L. 



CHESAPEAKE, OHIO. 



Decoration day here extended over 

 three days and the stock of our florists 

 was depleted accordingly. 



C. A. Peters, of Huntington, W. Va., 

 had a good trade. So did Miss Martin, 

 on Tenth street, and she deserved it, as 

 she is almost blind and a worthy lady. 



Henry Conklin, of Chesapeake, O., and 

 Central City, W. Va., was rushed, but 

 the busiest man was Wm. H. Carp, of 

 Ashla-nd, Ky., where empty benches 

 looked as though a cyclone had struck 

 them. 



The almost continual rains, while they 

 make things grow, bother us in bedding 

 out our plants. H. C. 



Xenia, O. — E. E. Lighthizer has built 

 a greenhouse to grow vegetables for the 

 local market. George C. Crane also has 

 built a greenhouse for vegetables at his 

 place near the fair grounds. 



Bay Trees, Boxwood, 

 Palm$, Araucirias, 



and other decorative material. 



EVERGREENS, in all choicest varieties. CLEM- 

 ATIS, and all other Vines and Qimbers. 

 Trained Fruit Trees, Greenhouse Grapes, 

 Herbaceous Plants, Trees and Shrubs.
