FLOWER POTS 



We are tryiiur to save you money throogh 

 this advertisement. Our plan is to famiah 

 you the best of ware at a very low price. 

 It costs money to call on you 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. 



The report for the last two weeks 

 shows some improvement in trade. Al- 

 though not brisk, the sale of cut flow- 

 ers and potted plants is on the in- 

 crease. Florists are doing a good cor- 

 sage business. Sweet peas and violets 

 lead in the popular demand for these 

 bouquets. Spring flowers continue in 

 the lead for decorations, and palms and 

 ferns are in aemaiid. Patriotic and 

 military functions listed on the social 

 calendar for the season are creating a 

 demand for red and white tulips, as 

 well as for red and white carnations. 



Our florists are showiog attractive 

 windows; they are making them more 

 and more suggestive, which surely helps 

 the trade. Primroses, cyclamens, cinera- 

 rias, etc., are moving only at cut prices. 

 The funeral work for last week is 

 reported better than that of the two 

 weeks previous. 



Various Notes. 



Although plans are being completed 

 for the flower show and trade exhibit, 

 to be held during charity week, begin- 

 ning March 16, there is some hesitancy 

 among the florists in taking part in it. 

 Committees in charge of the entire af- 

 fair met Satuiday evening, February 

 21. It is to be hoped that the florists 

 win all take part, yet at this stage 

 they are not all willing. 



Wm. G. McCarthy is considering plans 

 for the erection of a new store at 724 

 West Eighth street. He is planning to 

 have it ready for the Easter trade.

SPRINGFIEIiD, MASS. 



The Market. 



February 14 this city was visited by 

 cne of the worst snow storms in years, 

 which almost completely tied up traffic, 

 only the main lines on the street rail- 

 way being kept open. St. Valentine's 

 day to all appearances was going to be 

 the best ever, but, on account of the 

 storm, fell way below last year. The 

 florists in most cases stopped taking 

 orders at noon, as delivery was almost 

 impossible. 



Business the last week has been 

 rather poor, and the deep snow has 

 made delivery hard. Flowers are scarce 

 and prices keep up. Potted plants do 

 not sell well rt present. F. J. C. 



Flint, Mich,— D. P. Smith has ob- 

 tained a permit for the erection of a 

 greenhouse at his plant on Lapeer 

 street. 



Albert Lea, Minn. — Willard Secor, of 

 Forest City, la., was a visitor at the 

 meeting of the Perry Florists' Associa- 

 tion at the greenhouses of P. Clausen & 

 Son.
