and are selling fast. Koses continue in 

 good supply. In fact, there comes 

 nearer being an oversupply than in any 

 other line. Cosmos is less plentiful in 

 the windows than it was before mums 

 came in such good supply. Cosmos 

 never in this market is counted on to 

 do more than fill up when there is a 

 lack of other things. 



Hardy shrubs persist in believing 

 that it is spring. We gathered a bunch 

 of good lilacs and snowballs this eve- 

 ning and received a phone message 

 from a customer for whom we had set 

 a bed of hyacinths. She is in distress 

 because the hyacinths are up two or 

 three inches and are getting ready to 

 bloom. We shall take these up and pot 

 them for Christmas and set more for 

 her. 



Good green of all kinds is rather 

 scarce, especially smilax and asparagus. 

 Fortunately, we can always secure an 

 ' abundant supply of dagger ferns from 

 the hills near by that, although not the 

 best of greens, can be used in many 

 places when stock is low. 



Various Notes. 



As an evidence of the increasing 

 number of up-to-date farmers and fruit 

 growers in this vicinity, McKay, Reece 

 & Co. say they have just purchased a 

 carload of lime-sulphur solution from 

 the Sherwin-Williams paint people. A 

 few years ago a barrel would have 

 supplied the demand. 



The Joys continue to cut some good 

 orchids, but the feature at their store 

 last week was the American Beauty 

 roses. In size and color as well as 

 length of stem they wore all that could 

 be desired. They report business as 

 better since the frosts have come. 



The windows of Geny Bros, are a de- 

 light to all beholders these days, and 

 the business done inside is proof that it 

 pays to keep up a good show. Their 

 decorations at present are mostly 

 chrysanthemums and dahlias, set off 

 with a vase of fancy Richmond roses. 

 They say that business has picked up 

 a great deal of late. Mums are abun- 

 dant and it is no wonder they sell, for 

 they are well grown. 



Haury & Sons are displaying a pretty 

 evenly balanced line of flowers of ail 

 kinds this week. Possibly the feature 

 of the place is their roses, of which 

 Sunburst continues to take the lead. 

 They say that while there has been no 

 special rush, business has been satis-
