EVANSVILLE^IND. 



TheMtfket. 



Business \s good, even though the 

 weather has been unfavorable for some 

 time. Last week we not only had the 

 coldest weather of the season, but we 

 had about fourteen inches of snow at 

 the same time; it was the most severe 

 storm in years. Carnations are about 

 equal to the demand and bring 2 to 3 

 cents. Sweet peas are quite plentiful, 

 also Eomans. Roses have been scarce 

 and bring 4 to 5 cents for shorts, up to 

 10 cents for the better stock. The de- 

 mand for roses is greater than the 

 supply. 



Various Notet. 



.Tulius Niodnagel & Sons have been 

 kept busy right along. They look for 

 a busy Easter. A small blaze at their 

 residence a few days ago caused quite 

 a little excitement for a time, but no 

 serious damage resulted. Had the wind 

 been in a different direction there would 

 have been a serious fire. 



Wm. Blackman Floral Co. has put ii? 

 a new ice-box at the store. It is Si 

 beauty and is quite large. 



Ben Kramer says business is fine. He 

 has been using lots of sweet peas and 

 makes some handsome designs. He has 

 been a little under the weather, but stays 

 at the store right along. 



Austin Wallace has been cutting great 

 quantities of good sweet peas and sells 

 them all. His lettuce is fine, too. 



J. C. Elsperman's health is not so 

 good this winter. His business has been 

 excellent. 



Nellie Goodge is back at work again. 



(^arl Zeidler reports a good trade. 



Henry Seymour always gets his share 

 of, the trade and has no kick coming, 



Louis Fritsch says his carnations are 

 doing fine. Business at his west side 

 store has boon variable, according to 

 the weather. 



Koyston & Fenton are off crop with 

 roses and do not have near enough for 

 the demand. Mr. Royston had an at- 

 tack of the grip, which kept him in for 

 a week. His wife was down with it, 

 also. ^E. L. F. 



West Cambridge, Mass. — John R. Mc- 

 Kenzie, who has been suffering all win- 

 ter with a disabled foot, has now al- 

 most recovered and is attending to busi- 

 ness as formerly. 



Lafayette. Ind.— F. Dorner & Sons 

 Co. aays that the call for cuttings of 

 Pink Delight is extremely heavy, but 

 that there is one good feature of the 

 variety that has not yet been commented 

 on: the variety makes a quick, well- 

 shaped growth and April cuttings of it 

 will give as good results as one is accos- 

 tomed to get from February or March 

 cuttings of other sorts. 



Bismarck, N. D. — R. T>. Hoskina, of 

 the Hoskins Floral Co., who built a sub- 

 stantial and finely equipped greenhouse 

 last summer at the corner of Third street 

 and Avenue E, has been so encouraged 

 by the increase in his business that he 

 has decided to erect two more houses. 

 The glass has already been ordered and 

 the work of construction will begin as 

 early as possible in the spring. The 

 boiler has sufficient capacity for the heat- 

 ing of this additional space. Karl Mel- 

 by is in charge of the present greenhouse. 

 Carnations and a general stock are 

 grown. The firm also has a store in the 

 Tribune block.
