The Market. 



The drift of business last week ran 

 mostly to funeral work and it was a 

 rather difficult task to get enough light 

 colored stock to fill orders. The sup- 

 ply of carnations was hardly equal to 

 the demand at any time, and roses, 

 in the light shades, were also short of 

 the demand. 



It seems strange that there are so 

 many split carnations coming in daily; 

 not from only a few growers, but from 

 all alike. 



Various Notes. 



McKinley day did not create an unu- 

 sual demand for carnations locally. 

 While a few extra were bought, the 

 incr.?ase was not sufficient to indicate 

 that they were intended for that spe- 

 cial occasion. 



The C. C. PoUworth Co. made special 

 cfl'orts to create a demand for carna- 

 tions for McKinley day, but reports 

 that while the shipping orders during 

 the last part of the last week used 

 more carnations than usual, the day did 

 not cut much figure locally. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. is now 

 harvesting its annual crop of Asparagus 

 plumosus seed at the Brown Deer 

 plant. Their Beauties are coming along 

 finely and prospects are promising for 

 a good crop soon. 



Gust Eusch & Co. say that last week 

 was a busy one, with both shipping 

 orders and local business on the in- 

 crease.

Three Knocks at Our Door 



"Who is there at such a late hour?" remarked our maid. "I have been wandering around for 

 miles to see Mr. Godfrey Aschmann," remarked a fellow florist, looking tired and weary, almost 

 played out, the other day. "I am at the right place, 1012 Ontario street," and knowing Mr. Aschmann, 

 standing right before him, ho told him his trouble. "I have been looking for good fenis for my cus- 

 tomers for the past week and I have been told to go and see Mr. Aschmann, he making a specialty of 

 ferns. What have you got to offer?" One of our workmen brought a lantern and you ought to have 

 seen how our new visitor was impressed with them, and ordered to be delivered at once, 50 Whitmani, 

 6-inch, at 50 cents; 25 Boston, 6-inch, at 50 cents; 25 7-inch, at 75 cents; 50 Scottli at 50 cents; 50 Schol- 

 zeli, 5^-inch, at 40 cents; 25 C-inch, at 50 cents; 25 7-inch, at 75 cents and, to make the collection com- 

 plete, 50 8-inch, at $1.00, ?1.25 and |1.50. Total, 300 ferns in all. 



We have a large stock of Boston, Wbltmanl, Sobolzeli and BoottU, b^, 6, 7, 8-inch, at 30 

 cents, 40 cents, 50 cents, 75 cents, $1.00, $1.'25 to $1.50. Oiatraall, 4-inch, 20 cents; 5 to 5^-inch, 30 to 

 40 cents. Good ferns are always in demand, both in winter and spring. Here is your chance to lay in 

 a supply before all are gone. Cash with order, please.
