FLOWER POTS 



We are trying to save you money through 

 this advertisement. Our plan is to furnish 

 you the best of ware at a very low price. 

 It costs money to call on yon personally. Let's get together on the mail order proposition and you save the difference. There 

 are other reasons why you will want our pots. We are very fortunate in the quality of our clay, and you will be delighted 

 with the ware. Our large output and advantages of cheap fuel, with our clay at our back door and the railroads at our front, 

 door, with little cost for selling, enables us to quote you very low prices. A sample order will convince you. Samples and 

 prices on application. Whether you use car lots or smaller quantities, it is to your advantage to write us.

The Market. 



Trade for St. Valentine's day was 

 good. The weather was cold, but clear 

 and sunny, and this helped business a 

 great deal. Plants sold as well as cut 

 flowers. In fact, on account of the cold 

 weather, plants were preferred to cor- 

 sage bouquets. Fancy baskets of tulips, 

 azaleas, lilacs and daffodils, decorated 

 with hearts, arrows and cupids, sold 

 well. Boxes of spring flowers with val- 

 entine novelties were in demand. Tu- 

 lips, daffodils, hyacinths and bleeding 

 hearts found a place in the valentine 

 list. Old-fashioned bouquets were not 

 so much in demand this year. Sweet 

 peas and valley were fine and the de- 

 mand was brisk. Cyclamens and prim- 

 roses were in splendid condition, but 

 flower buyers were not so taken up with 

 these plants at this particular time. 



Various Notes. 



S. A. Anderson did a big business 

 last week. All kinds of valentine nov- 

 elties sold well. A great drawing card 

 was a large red heart, about ten feet in 

 height, with a huge bunch of white 

 lilacs fastened on top. The heart was 

 fastened on the outside of the window 

 and created quite a stir in the down- 

 town district. 



The Wm. Scott Co. had a fine St. Val- 

 entine 's day trade. 



William Adams, William Palmer and 

 W. F. Kasting visited the horticultural 

 convention at Ithaca, N. Y. Mr. Kast- 

 ing addressed the convention. 



Robert A. Scott is in a hospital, where 

 he submitted to an operation on his 

 feet. The operation proved successful 

 and he is improving rapidly. 



The Buffalo florists gave a banquet 

 for Wm. F. Kasting at the rooms of 

 the Ellicott Club, February 10. The 

 decorations were elaborate and drew 

 considerable comment. Mr. Kasting 

 expressed great appreciation of the dec- 

 orations and said they were the hand- 

 somest he had ever seen at a florists' 

 function. William Palmer acted as 

 loastm aster. The speakers were Wil- 

 liam Legg, president of the Buffalo 

 Florists' Club; David A. Seymour, su- 

 perintendent of parks; S. A. Anderson, 

 L. H. Neubeck, W. A. Adams and others. 



Joseph Streit is cutting some splen- 

 did Formosa lilies. He nas a lot of 

 Liliuni giganteum, which are coming 

 along finely. 



Miss Mabel Hoke is at Anderson's 

 Main street store for a few days. 



The following are planning to go to 

 Koi'hester, February 20, for the bowling 

 match: Messrs. Vick, Walter, Streit, 

 Armbrust, Aust, Neubeck, Greever and 

 others. 



Among the visitors for the week 

 were: John Tenhagen, of Lisse, Hol-
