Poehlmann Bros. Co. expects to move 

 into its new store by the end of the 

 week. The big ice-box is finished and 

 already there have been many to see it. 



John Kruchten says his growers 

 have cut as many carnations to Feb- 

 ruary 1 as they did last year, but that 

 they got them early in the season and 

 have been off in January. 



John Zech says he thinks the market 

 is in exactly the same condition as a 

 year ago. 



C. W. McKellar says the east has the 

 largest gardenia crops on reco?d.

 Prosperity - like carnation, '^SSthleen 

 B. W. It is said to be a good %Ioomer, 

 but the flowers fade and come nearly 

 white in spring, which is why Mr. 

 Schram has not exploited it. 



O. W. Frese reports an especially 

 strong shipping demand from the 

 south, New Orleans taking many boxes 

 each day. 



Henry Smith, of Grand Rapids, has 

 been in town this week, accompanied 

 by his builder, examining the latest 

 greenhouse plants and getting esti- 

 mates on material for a new range. 



One of last week's visitors was Ed- 

 ward GuUett, Lincoln, HI. 



Sydney B. Wertheimer, of Wert- 

 heimer Bros., New York, called this 

 week. He says business is good with 

 the retailers everywhere. 



FOET SMITH, ARK. 



The Market. 



Business was a little slack here till 

 Tuesday, January 23, when prepara- 

 tions began for one of the largest fu- 

 nerals seen here in some time. E, B, 

 Peirce, one of the officials of the Rock 

 Island, who was killed in the big wreck 

 of the Illinois Central at Kinmundy, 

 HI,, was brought here and buried on 

 Wednesday, this being his home. All 

 of the florists in town were taxed to 

 the limit and one of the biggest collec- 

 tions of floral offerings this city has 

 ever seen was the result. A large 

 amount of the pieces and bunches came 

 with the body from Chicago, St. Louis, 

 and several other cities, but Fort Smith 

 had its share. The spring trade will 

 soon open and the prospefets are for a 

 big business.

Various Notes. 



The new downtown store of the 

 Electric Park Greenhouses is prosper- 

 ing, and the manager, Geo. T. Duey, is 

 looking for larger quarters, as the 

 pri^eent accommodations are too limited 

 for the increasing business.
