COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



Trade is quite heavy, with some stock 

 scarce, while other flowers are quite 

 plentiful. Roses are coining in a little 

 more plentifully and some good stock 

 is on the market, while there also is 

 some rather poor stock. Short roses are 

 scarce, as nearly all the cut is of me- 

 dium and long grade. Killarney as a 

 rule is rather pale in color, but other- 

 wise good. Beauties have been a little 

 scarce and the demand rather light. 



Carnations are not blooming heavily 

 at present and a great many splits are 

 reported from some growers. The cuts 

 are away below what they should be at 

 this date, but with clear weather they 

 should pick up at a rapid pace. Bulbous 

 stock is quite plentiful and most of it 

 moves about as fast as it comes in. 

 Lilies have been a little scarce. . Sweet 

 peas are more plentiful than for some 

 time and are moving well. Violets are 

 quite plentiful, with the demand good. 

 Valley is more abundant. 



The sale of potted plants has been 

 heavy and a quantity of stock has been 

 moved in the last week or so. Delivers 

 has been difficult, as we have Imd real 

 winter here for the last ten days or 

 more. 



Various Notes. 



The Munk Floral Co. reports busi- 

 ness good and the new branch doing 

 well. 



The Livingston Seed Co. says busi- 

 ness is heavy, with stock at times quite 

 scarce. 



The Columbus Floral Co. is cutting 

 some good roses and carnations. 



A flim-flam man was in town last 

 week and tried to work several florists 

 to take an order for flowers and send 

 change for a twenty. After he failed 

 to make connection with the florists, 

 he finally caught a gents' furnishing 

 goods concern and also passed several 

 bad checks, so the florists are shaking 

 hands. ,T. M. 



Iron Eiver, Wis.— Llewellyn Phillips 

 has completed his greenhouse and ex- 

 pects to have it in operation soon. 

 Uptil it is ready to produce blooms, 

 shipments are being brought in to take 

 care of the trade he is working up.

The President Explains 



About Out* 

 Engineering 

 Department 



CONSTRUCTION engineeringis 

 a man sized job— a job so big 

 that it's all any ooe man can 

 do justice and really fill it. 



That's why we have a distinct 

 engineering construction depart- 

 ment. These men bare all such 

 things as snow strains and wind 

 pressures at their finger ends. 



There is no guess work with our work. This department costs us a 

 lot of money— sometimes I think too much, but when you consider that 

 never, to our knowledge, have we bad a house collapse, either by snow 

 weight or wind pressure, it looks as if that department was worth all it 

 costs— and more. 



It's a pretty comfortable thing, to feel perfectly comfortable about your 

 house, no matter what the weather conditions.
