TOLEDO, O. 



The Market. 



Valentine's day trade was unusually 

 ^ood. Business for the last v/eek ha? 

 also been good, considering the unsea- 

 sonable weather, which on some days 

 was more like April than February. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Josephine Helmer has severed 

 her connection with Mrs. J. B. Frec- 

 niau, and leaves in the first part of 

 March to accept a position with Broit- 

 nie5'er's Sons, of Detroit, Mich. 



A visit to Mrs. E. Suder's green- 

 houses found everything in fine condi- 

 tion. She has lots of bulb stock and 

 some beautiful pots of lilac. 



Some extra fine sweet peas are ar- 

 riving from Maples Farm. 



W. B. Lake, of Philadelphia, and J. 

 .T. Karins, of Benry A. Dreer's, Phila- 

 delphia, were among last week's vis- 

 itors. H. E. P. 



PAEIS, TEX. 



J. W. Goree had an unusually heavy 

 Valentine's day business and sent out 

 some baskets that would have done 

 credit to a city of half a million people. 



Mike Robinius, as usual, had a large 

 share of the best class of trade in town. 



E. L. Kiley, whose store is in the lob- 

 by of Grand theater, had a big fu- 

 neral which cleaned up his Valentine's 

 day trade and put him out of the run- 

 ning February 14. He has a miniature 

 park on the floor of the lobby, with 

 real grass and tiny trees and shrubbery, 

 a little gardener with his wheelbarrow 



S:;.eRo.e IRISH FIRE FLAME 



A new departure in Roses for winter forcing. Irish Fire Flame 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 Qoid Medal 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.

to pick up rubbish, a swimming pool 

 with dolls in the grass and reeds sur- 

 rounding the pool, one doll about to 

 dive from a spring board, others who 

 have just dived oS, others who are 

 striking out for the shore, and, last 

 but not least, a pair of lovers spooning 



on a park bench behind a tree. The 

 conceit is well executed and has 

 created favorable comment and consid- 

 erable amusement. 



Mrs. C. P. Worthy has closed her up- 

 town store and is doing all business 

 from the greenhouses. K.
