The Market. 



Christinas trade in most instances was 

 much better than last year. Stock of 

 the better grades was sold clean and 

 brought ^ood prices. Eoses sold espe- 

 cially well this year, bringing from $3 

 to $6 per dozen retail. Carnations were 

 not more than enough to go around, 

 bringing $1.50 and $2 per dozen. Amer- 

 ican Beauties brought $12 to $18 and 

 $24 per dozen. Violets did not move 

 so well as last year, bringing $3 to $4 

 per hundred. Valley, Paper Whites and 

 hyacinths retailed at $1 per dozen. 

 Quantities of poinsettias were sold at 

 from $3 to $6 per dozen. 



Potted plants sold exceptionally well 

 this year, azaleas, cyclamens, Lorraine 

 begonias, hyacinths and primulas be- 

 ing moved in quantities. The higher 

 priced plants and made up arrangements 

 were quite in demand this season. 



Various Notes. 



Irwin Bertermann received a Christ- 

 mas present that he should be proud of; 

 it was twin boys. 



Chas. Schwake, with C. P. Meyer, 

 called on the trade last week. 



Albert Pittet left last week for a 

 brief trip to Europe. 



Geo. Welmer has taken a position 

 with E. A. Nelson. 



A. Wiegand & Sons report the best 

 Christmas trade they have had, an in- 

 crease of twenty-five per cent over last 

 year. This firm had a heavy sale of 

 blooming plants, especially azaleas and 

 made up arrangements. 



C. A. Kieman, of Connersville, and Mr. 

 Meiklejohn, with H, F. Darrow, were 

 visitors last week. 



John Eieman says that his Christmas 

 trade was up to expectations, every- 

 thing being cleaned up with the excep- 

 tion of a few violets. 



Mrs. E. A. Nelson, who has been ill, 

 is able to be about again. 



Bertermann Bros, report an excellent 

 Christmas. Roses, carnations, holly and 

 blooming plants sold well with this 

 firm. 



Baur & Steinkamp had a fine cut of 

 carnations for Christmas, Mr. Baur says 

 the best that he ever has had. 



H. L. W. 



MADISON, N. J. 



M. C. Ebel, head of the Aphine Mfg. 

 'Co., is busily engaged in experimenting 

 with a new product which his company 

 expects to place on the market shortly. 

 He has named it Scaline, the material 

 being a combination insecticide and 

 fungicide, a combination of oils and sul- 

 phur. It is intended for destroying 

 San Jose scale, the cottony maple aphis 

 and other sap-sucking insects infesting 

 fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs and 

 hardy plants generally, and at the same 

 time as a remedy for the control of 

 the various fungi affecting trees and 

 shrubbery. Mr. Ebel contends that his 

 material can be applied as safely in the 

 growing as in the dormant season.
