number of sweet peas and the great im- 

 provement in quality. Carnations con- 

 tinue the one flower that is in large 

 supply. 



Various Notes. 



The Hillcrest School Farm was plant- 

 ing bulbs till the snow stopped opera- 

 tions. 



There is a new florist in the city, 

 located not far from Haury & Sons' 

 plant. He has his first houses ready 

 and is filling them with stock. 



Although Mr. Latel has built only 

 one small house as yet, he certainly has 

 a good location, just across the road 

 from the National cemetery. He says 

 that he does not purpose growing cut 

 fiowers to any extent, for the present 

 at least. He will grow a few pot 

 plants this season, however. 



Frank Cornell has some good pot 

 plants on the market at present. He 

 has a wagon on the street and a stand 

 in the street car transfer station. He 

 says that he is preparing for the heavi- 

 est business that he has ever done. His 

 place is in good condition. 



J. F. Corbitt cleaned out all his sur- 

 plus plants last week by The Review 

 classified ad route. He says that it 

 was a real surprise to him how quickly 

 everything went. 



The Joy Floral Co. furnished the dec- 

 orations for the Jonas-Kaufman wed- 

 ding last week. The ceremony was 

 performed in the Hermitage hotel par- 

 lors, and the decorations were elabo- 

 rate. Sweet peas were the central fea- 

 ture. 



Haury & Sons had a fire in their en- 

 gine room last week. It occurred early 

 in the morning, but fortunately it was 

 detected and extinguished before seri- 

 ous damage was done. The loss was 

 reported in the daily press as $1,000, 

 but I am informed that it does not 

 reach this amount. 



Mclntyre Bros, are cutting some un- 

 usually good orchids. Last week I saw 

 some of the best cattleyas that I re- 

 member ever having seen. 



Geny Bros, are cutting a pretty even 

 supply of everything at present. I saw 

 an unusual shade of deep dark-red 

 snapdragons at their place, which 

 should prove good sellers. 



Joe Browne, proprietor of Lischey's 

 Gardens, has a fine line of stock ready 

 for his spring trade. From the activity 

 of his wagons, he is doing a good busi- 

 ness. 



McKay, Reese & Co. have been do- 

 ing a heavy business of late. The last 

 few days showed a great slump, but 

 the rest was needed. They are not 

 handling a full line of flower seeds this 

 season. They report that they have 

 never before found it so hard to secure 

 a supply of cow peas as this season. 

 The price seems to be on the rise. 



Lee Geny, of Geny Bros., has been 

 seriously ill for several days. A coun- 

 cil of several of the leading doctors 

 of the city March 23 pronounced the 

 malady rheumatism of the bowels. 



F. B. 



Corpus Olirlsti, Tex. — D. E. Curtis, 

 formerly of Webster City, la., has 

 ordered the material for the three 

 greenhouses he will build here. They 

 will cover a total area of 10,000 square 

 feet and will be devoted to roses, cama* 

 tions and potted plants. The concern 

 will be known as the Corpus Christi 

 Greenhouses, although for advertising 

 purposes Mr. Curtis will christen it Casa 

 de Flora, Spanish for house of flowers.
