The Market. 



With over a week of cloudy weather 

 in this vicinity, the price of stock in 

 general has advanced a little. Eoses 

 are about as scarce as they have been 

 at any time; the comparatively small 

 lots that have been arriving are quickly 

 disposed of at good prices and not 

 enough can be had to supply the orders. 

 Beauties have commenced to arrive 

 aga'ki; there were a few on the market 

 last week. Carnations have increased 

 in price a trifle and the demand is tak- 

 ing about all that are to be had in 

 this market. The carnations are im- 

 proving in color and size. Bulb stock 

 is coming in more freely. Violets have 

 been arriving in greater quantity. Cut 

 lilies are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Kusik & Co. report business as 

 first-class and they cannot get enough 

 roses to supply the demand. 



The Alpha Floral Co. had a good run 

 on large pieces of funeral work last 

 week. 



E. H. Frandsen, of Independence, Mo., 

 had such a heavy run of Christmas busi- 

 ness and made so much money that he 

 bought two acres and a 10-room house 

 adjoining the greenhouse property on 

 the south. 



Biedermann & Son received by ex- 

 press from the east a shipment of 

 hydrangeas which were frozen hard. 



E. D. Ellsworth has a fine lot of 

 rhododendrons in bloom. His lilies also 

 are excellent and he has a large lot of 

 them. 



E. S. Brown is back at work, but is 

 able to remain on duty only for half of 

 each day. He is busy getting ready 

 his spring stock. 



Among recent visitors were Wm. M. 

 Eeid, of the W. W. Barnard Co., Chi- 

 cago; A. Zirkman, of the M. Eice Co., 

 Philadelphia, and J. J. Karins, of Henry 

 A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia. 



W. J. B. 



Grundy Center, la. — C. W. Wilhelm 

 is going out of the flower and garden- 

 ing business and will be away from 

 home most of the coming season. 



FACTS ABOUT OUR CEDAR. 



Our cedar is all air-dried. 



Air-dned cedar weighs less than air-dried cypress. 



Cedar does not absorb moisture like cypress; therefore when ex- 

 posed it does not shrink, expand and warp as cypress. We con- 

 sider it the better lumber for sash, hotbed sash, doors and gutters. 



Cedar is not surpassed in durability by cypress or any other 

 lumber available for greenhouse construction. 



The best grade of cedar is not cheaper than the best grade of 

 cypress. We are using the best grades of botlv 



We can support our above statements by the testimonials of 

 many growers who have been using both and know by actual ex- 

 perience.
