PiNK-KILLARNEYS »»HiTE 



We want to call attention to the fine grade of Killarneys that we can supply now in quantity. 

 Choice flowers - all of them— and enough to fill every order. Beauties and other roses in big supply. 



CARNATIONS - BULBOUS STOCK - SWEET PEAS 



are being cut freely, and our prices on these are so attractive that it will 

 be worth your whill to increase your order. All other seasonable flowers. 



IT WILL BE our policy in the future to ship orders TO NBARBY POINTS' in corrugated boxes. 

 Our experience in the last few months with these boxes has been highly satisfactory both to our- 

 selves and to our customers. Wooden boxes will be used for distant points or a^t request of customer.

There is a fair supply in the short and 

 medium lengths of stem, but the longer 

 ones are not being cut in any too large 

 quantities. The general run of the 

 present cut of Beauties shows buds im- 

 perfect both in shape and color; the 

 few perfect flowers sell at stiff prices. 

 Killarney and White Killarney are in 

 good supply and there is little trouble 

 being experienced in filling orders, ex- 

 cept that some houses do not have 

 enough shorts to supply their demand. 

 My Maryland is being cut more freely, 

 while Sunburst, Melody, Aaron Ward 

 and Rhea field are being shipped in 

 larger quantities. Richmond has met 

 with good demand and there are no 

 more being cut than are called for. 

 Lilies were in heavy supply for a time 

 last week and some houses were selling 

 them as low as 6 cents, but the orders 

 at this price were so numerous that the 

 surplus supply was soon cleaned up and 

 normal prices in force. Sweet peas 

 have shown a marked improvement dur- 

 ing the last two weeks and there has 

 been a large increase in the pick. No 

 one could ask finer peas than are now 

 available in quantity, but the retailers 

 are not buying the way the growers 

 thought they would. Peas are moving 

 slowly. Orchids are not in large sup- 

 ply, but there appears to be little de- 

 mand for them and the prices have been, 



weak. Valley is in good supply and is 

 generally moved along without diffi- 

 culty. 



The houses that handle violets in 

 quantity have found them their worst 

 problem in the last week. Receipts 

 have increased and demand has dimin- 

 ished. It has been impossible to clean 

 up at any price. Well informed people 

 say 200,000 were on hand Saturday 

 night, February 22, when the wholesale 

 houses closed. 



The greens situation shows little 

 change, though something is promised 

 in ferns, the eastern sources of supply 

 having notified the trade of the usual 

 advance in price March 1. 



The sleet storm last week delayed 

 scores of telegraph orders, messages 

 not arriving until one and two days 

 later than they should have done. 



Various Notes. 



The officers and directors of the S. A. 

 F. were in Chicago February 24 on their 

 way to Minneapolis for the annual 

 meeting. The day in Chicago was spent 

 in visiting points of trade interest, in- 

 cluding the Oechslin and Poehlmann es- 

 tablishments. In the party were J. K. 

 M. L. Farquhar, Boston; W. F. Kast- 

 ing, Buffalo; R. Vincent, Jr., White 

 Marsh, Md.; E. Allan Peiree, Waltham. I 



Mass.; Harry A. Bunyard, New York 

 city; C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J.; J. A. 

 Evans, Richmond, Ind., and Thomas Ro- 

 land, Nahant, Mass. August Poehlmann, 

 who is a director, and George Asmus 

 accompanied the party to Minneapolis, 

 going on the Pioneer Limited on the 

 St. Paul railroad Monday evening. 



Wietor Bros, have engaged Gust 

 Wiedenhoff as foreman, to take the 

 place of James Novak, who leaves April 

 1 to take hold of the Weber Beauty 

 range on shares. Mr. Wiedenhoff comes 

 highly recommended from Terre Haute. 



T. E. Waters, of Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 who also is general publicity man for 

 the United Fertilizer Co., says that 

 Evergreen fertilizer is now being put up 

 in ii)-pound wooden boxes for retail 

 store trade. The paper boxes formerly 

 used were unsuitable for the nitrates 

 and the new package is much more 

 sightly. 



E. E. Pieser, of Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 reports the first outdoor jonquils as ar- 

 riving February 22, from Booneville, 

 Miss. 



The opening of the new building of 

 the Hub, February 24, called for the 

 use of large quantities Of stock. The 

 Alpha Floral Co. had the firm's order 

 for vases of cut flowers, principally 

 Beauties, but practically every down-
