The Market. 



The coldest day of the winter, to 

 date, was February 3, when the temper- 

 ature dropped to zero. Trade is holding 

 up well. Funeral work has helped con- 

 siderably to keep us hustling. There 

 were also a number of decorations last 

 week, so we have no reason to com- 

 plain. Eoses are about the only flow- 

 ers that can be had in quantity and 

 some fine stock of these is coming in. 

 White Killarney is fine. Killarney is 

 a little scarce, but Dark Pink Killar- 

 ney and Killarney Queen can be had 

 in quantity. Aaron Ward and Lady 

 Hillingdon are in medium supply. 

 Carnations just about meet the de- 

 mand now, though the supply of them 

 has been short nearly all the season. 

 Violets are slow in coming; everybody 

 in this vicinity seems to sell them at 

 home. Sweet peas, tulips and daffodils 

 are in short supply. A few lilies and 

 primulas are to be seen. 



Various Notes. 



J. A. Brodrib has opened a stand in 

 the automobile show, which is being 

 held in the Armory. He is displaying 

 potted stock. 



John Coombs did a large decoration 

 last week for the banquet of the Gov- 

 ernors' Association, held in the rooms 

 of the Hartford Club. Violets, palms 

 and smilax were largely used. 



W. R. Pierson was in Philadelphia 

 last week and gave an address before 

 the Florists' Club of that eity. 



E. Welch has a nice window display 

 of potted plants, grown in his own

S::.eRo.e IRISH FIRE FLAME 



A new departure in Roses for winter forcing. Irish Fire Flam* is a 



single rose with only five petals, and is the most striking and the best single 

 rose Messrs. Alex. Dickson & Sons have ever raised. It flowers profusely 

 during the winter months, producing both single flowers and sprays of from 

 three to five buds. The bud is an intense fiery crimson scarlet at the tip. 

 shading at the base of petals to orange salmon ; the open flower is a beautiful 

 bright salmon. It is of strong, vigorous growth, with dark green foliage, 

 reverse of leaf deep bronze. 



We have tested this rose for two years and can confidently recommend 

 it as a sterling novelty in roses. It has been awarded a Gold iMedai by 

 the National Rose Society of Great Britain and has taken several prizes for 

 table decoration.

 flowering wood, and the result is strong, vigorous plants in March and April.
