GIVE QUALITY! 



This is our motto and applies to anything you may order; not Roses, nor 



Carnations, nor Lilies — but 



EVERYTHING.

cold weather that we read about up 

 north, the thermometer dropping to 13 

 degrees below zero Sunday morning, 

 January 7. It snowed all day January 

 6 and we have about six inches of it. 



Various Notes. 



The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. re- 

 ports a good trade, funeral work being 

 quite heavy. The store employees held 

 their annual banquet at noon January 

 3, the occasion being in. honor of the 

 forty-ninth birthday of George Black- 

 man. Covers were laid for eight people 

 and an enjoyable time was had. Toasts 

 were given and responded to. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons have been 

 busy with funeral work and parties 

 since New Year's. There seems to have 

 been no slump in business with them. 

 They are having a nice cut of roses, 

 carnations, violets, hyacinths, etc. 



Ben Kramer has been receiving some 

 nice carnations from Otto Kuebler, of 

 Newburg, Ind. Trade is good with him. 



Karl Zeidler has to hustle around in 

 order to get enough flowers for his 

 trade. 



Louis Fritsch is quite a weather 

 prophet. He predicted a cold spell; we 

 got it. His carnations are in fine con- 

 dition. 



Eoyston & Fenton report a scarcity 

 of roses. E. L. Fenton was at the poul- 

 try show nearly all the week, being a 

 member of the association and an ex- 

 hibitor. H. J. Koyston also exhibited 

 some of his poultry. E. L. F. 



COLUMBUS, 0. 



The Market. 



Trade has been good since Christmas, 

 with stock rather scarce on account of 

 cloudy weather, especially carnations, 

 of which there have hardly been enough 

 to go the rounds on several occasions. 

 Roses are coming fine, but quantity is 

 just about equal to the demand. Sweet 

 peas have been scarce and the demand 

 heavy. There was quite a call for 

 valley last week and the local stock 

 was all used up, as well as quite a few 

 shipments from outside. 



The demand for New Year's flowers 

 was not up to expectations, but still 

 there was quite a good deal of stock 

 moved. Pot plants have moved rather 

 slowly since Christmas. 



Various Notes. 



Sherman Stephens reports heavy 

 business out his way. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. had the 

 misfortune to be put out of businefss

 January 5. The entire rear of the

 least damage and they were all ready
