Qulncy, 111. — The greenhouse property 

 of the late Gottfried Gross has been 

 sold by the estate to G. A. Bauman, of 

 this city. The property is to be turned 

 over to Mr. Bauman late in the spring. 

 It is said he will use the site, a good 

 corner, at Twentieth and Maine streets, 

 for an apartment building.

The Market. 



Trade was extra heavy here for St. 

 Valentine's day and an enormous quan- 

 tity of stock was disposed of. There 

 was a large quantity of stock in the city 

 and besides that a great deal was 

 shipped in, much of which was frozen in 

 transit. Some dealers had most of their 

 stock frozen that was shipped in, and 

 it was quite a loss to them, as well as 

 disappointment to the customers. A 

 regular blizzard struck Columbus Friday 

 and about nine inches of snow fell, with 

 the mercury hovering about the zero 

 mark. This made it hard to deliver cut 

 flowers and plants. The snow started 

 in again Sunday evening. 



There was a large quantity of potted 

 plants disposed of for St. Valentine's 

 day, including a great many azaleas and 

 fancy plants. In cut flowers, violets 

 seemed to take the lead, with sweet peas 

 a close second. Carnations came in for 

 their usual demand and were cleaned 

 up early. Roses were in good demand, 

 with a fair supply, while there were 

 quantities of bulbous stock on the mar- 

 ket. About everything was cleaned up 

 that was salable. The general opinion 

 is that trade was even heavier than last 

 year, when it broke all records. Most 

 of the florists were in on the full-page 

 advertising in the newspapers and they 

 lay great stress ori the results obtained 

 ffom it. .,1 ,

of the opinion it will be increasing every 

 year. As one florist puts it, there is 

 nothing you could send more appropriate 

 than flowers, as they speak when lips 

 fail to make a sound. J. M. 



Columbus, O. — John R. Hellenthal re- 

 ports the St. Valentine's day business 

 the best ever. Everything was cleaned 

 up. Potted plants and baskets were ia 

 great demand. If the weather had been 

 betfer, everydne would have probably 

 *been rushed.
