 already there have been many to see it. 



John Kruchtcn says his giovs^ers 

 have cut as many carnations to Feb- 

 ruary 1 as they did last year, but that 

 they got thom early in the season and 

 have boon off in January, 



John Zoeh says he thinks the market 

 is in exactly the same condition as a 

 year ago. 



C. \V. McKollar says the east has the 

 largest gardenia crops on record. 



Kennicott Bros. show Schram's 

 Prosperity -like carnation, Kathleen 

 B. W. It is said to be a good bloomer, 

 but the flowers fade and come nearly 

 white in spring, which is why Mr. 

 Scliram has not exploited it. 



0. W. Frose reports an especially 

 strong shipping demand from the 

 south, Xew Orleans taking many boxes 

 each day. 



Homy Sinith. of (h'and IJajiids, has

FORT SMITH, ARK. 



The Market. 



business was a little slack here till 

 Tuesday, January L'.'t, when jirejiara- 

 tions began for one of the largest fu- 

 nerals seen ]ien> in some time. K. H. 

 Peirce, one of the ollicials of the Kock 

 island, who was killed in tiie big wreck 

 of the Illinois Central at Kinmumlv, 

 111., 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 otli(>r cities, but Fort Smith 

 Imd its share. The spring trade will 

 .-iooii (i])(Mi and tli(^ ]pr(.spccts aic for :i 

 big business.
