Ont., ran over to Chicago to have a 

 look at the things of trade interest 

 here, spending February 22 and 23 in 

 visiting florists. 



One of the week's visitors at the 

 store of the A. L. Bandall Co. was 

 George Schlecht manager of the North- 

 ern Evergreen Co., of Duluth, on his 

 way east. 



J. C. Steinhauser, of Pittsburg, Kan., 

 spent February 23 visiting numerous 

 wholesale houses in this market. He 

 came from Pittsburg to Galesburg Feb- 

 ruary 20, accompanying the remains of 

 W. L. Packard, who died in Pittsburg, 

 and who was buried at Galesburg Feb- 

 ruary 20 by the Elks. Mr. Packard 

 was 48 years of age, and until 1913 had 

 been associated with the Steinhauser 

 Florist & Nursery Co. 



Among those noted in the market last 

 week were B. Jurgens, Peoria, HI.; S. 

 W. Pike, St. Charles, 111.

The Market. 



This city is enjoying a trade that is 

 extremely good for this time of year. 

 The retailers had a large business for 

 St. Valentine's day, and all are well 

 satisfied. Trade would be increased to 

 a great extent if it were possible to 

 increase the cut of roses. This stock 

 IS still scarce, ?nd it is next to impos- 

 sible to meet the demand. The quality 

 of the stock, however, is fine, especially 

 Killarney, which has a good color, con- 

 sidering the existing conditions. 



Carnations have shortened up con- 

 siderably, but the cut is still sufficient 

 to supply the demand, which is always 

 strong for this stock. Bulbous stock is 

 arriving in quantity and is mostly in 

 fine shape. The cut is in every way 

 large enough for all requirements. The 

 Milwaukee market is getting some ex- 

 ceptionally fine Wisconsin grown vio- 

 lets at this time. The supply of these 

 is quite heavy. There seems to be 

 plenty of other stock on the market 

 to take care of all demands.

 cutting sweet peas that are extra fine.
