white carnations are sharing in the de- 

 mand for white roses. 



The recent weather has been no more 

 gloomy than the faces of those respon- 

 sible for marketing the violets. Last 

 week's averages were undoubtedly the 

 lowest of the season to date. The quality 

 of the stock is excellent, and the quantity 

 fully as great as ever has reached this 

 market in January. The demand simply 

 has been absent. Each buyer taking a 

 few hundreds made little impression on 

 the bulk of the receipts, and the fair fig- 

 ures these buyers paid were lost in figur- 

 ing the averages, for far the largest part 

 of the receipts were sold to the peddlers. 

 This week the violets are faring slightly 

 better, but not enough better to hold out 

 any brilliant prospect. 



Because of reduced supply in other 

 lines, the bulbous stock is faring better 

 than heretofore. Paper Whites are sell- 

 ing quite well, and Easter lilies hold their 

 prices in the face of increased supply. 

 There are few cal'as. Tulips do not in- 

 crease rapidly ip quantity. Komans are 

 seldom seen. Freesias are quite abundant. 

 Stevia is not much in evidence. 



Among the fancy flowers, white lilac is 

 fine, and it is not possible to fill all or- 

 ders. Cattleyas are equal to the demand ; 

 all orders are filled if needs are made 

 known early in the day. Gardenias are 

 abundant. Valley continues to sell well. 



There is little change in the green 

 goods market. 



Will Manufacture Soil Conveyor. 

 The Geo. M. Garland Co., Des Plaines, 

 is preparing to put on the market a mov- 

 able soil conveyor for the purpose of 

 emptying and refilling the benches in 

 greenhouses. This conveyor consists of a 

 metal bucket with a patent bottom for 

 dumping purposes, and is suspended 

 from a wheeled carrier which runs on an 

 overhead rail. This rail is in sections 

 and is bolted to the frame of the house. 

 The sections are easily removed and can 

 be transferred from one house to another 

 as wanted. Wherever it is desired to 

 dump the soil a cog is placed on the rail. 

 This cog engages a cog on the carrier 

 which automatically stops the bucket and 

 at the same time operates the dumping 

 apparatus, depositing the soil in the re- 

 quired place. The Garland Co. antici- 

 pates a large demand for these conveyors
