claim" o"f overvaluation. Mr. Bodley is 

 at a loss what to do, as he has improve- 

 ments and considerable glass on the 

 land, and to stock up now might incur a 

 large loss if the deal goes through. 



A. Byron has the finest double violets 

 in this . section, which are eagerly 

 snapped up by particular customers. 



Mid-year graduations in the high 

 schools took place last week and cre- 

 ated a large demand for flowers. The 

 special inducements offered by some of 

 the florists to secure class bouquet con- 

 tracts cannot be too harshly condemned, 

 as one florist said he lost money on 

 •every order taken. E. E. C. 



Eahn & Herbert Co. is said to be us- 

 ing with excellent satisfaction a new 

 pot washing machine invented by C. S. 

 Fowler, and which is to be manufac- 

 tured and put on the market by the 

 Powler-Hotchkiss Co. It is stated that 

 the success of the machine results from 

 the unique way in which water is car- 

 ried to the inside of the pot, and to the 

 character and durability of the brushes, 

 which clean the inside and outside of 

 thb pot at the same time, with as great 

 rapidity as the operator is capable of 

 maintaining. Bahn & Herbert Co. oper- 

 ates its machine with water power, but 

 an electric motor can be used for pro- 

 pulsion, and hand power machines will 

 be manufactured.

The Market. 



Since the last writing a shortage of 

 stock has changed into a serious over- 

 supply. Business has fallen off to a 

 marked degree in the last ten days, 

 while a few days of bright weather 

 have increased the cut of all kinds of 

 blooms. Much bulbous stock is now on 

 the market and helps to make an over- 

 supply. Potted plants are moving well, 

 as there is no great quantity of this 

 stock procurable. Carnations are of 

 poor quality. Many of the growers 

 report a large percentage of splits. Bea- 

 con being particularly bad in this re- 

 spect. 



Various Notes. 



A. A. Hinz has returned from his trip 

 through California, having had an ex- 

 ceedingly pleasant time. 



The Florists' Club's social night, 

 Jauaii^ 29, was well attended. The 

 evening was spent at cards and refresh- 

 ments were served. 



Mr. Welfare, lately of Chicago, is 

 visiting a brother in this city. He ex- 

 pects to locate in this vicinity if suit- 

 able arrangements can be made. He 

 has had several years of experience in 

 the retail business. J. L. S.
