shipments beyond the Friday before 

 Easter. White carnations have been 

 rather scarce and may be on the short 

 side for Easter. Prices quoted run all 

 fhe way from 2 cents to 6 cents, partly 

 accounted for by differences of opinion 

 as to what it will take to move the goods 

 and partly accounted for by variation in 

 the quality. As to violets, the eastern 

 doubles are not now especially good and 

 singles are showing the approach of 

 spring. With cool weather violets will 

 be abundant, and possibly overabundant, 

 but with a few hot days they will be in 

 such condition no one will want them. 



Some of the wise buyers recall that 

 where the market is agreed upon holiday 

 prospects it often turns out that just the 

 opposite of what was expected occurs. 

 These retailers are insuring themselves 

 by placing their orders now. They all 

 count on big business. 



Vaftow Notes. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. is cutting White 

 Killamey roses that are a revelation to 

 those who think of this variety as com- 

 monly seen last fall before the growers 

 began to take all the wood they could 

 get for propagating purposes. The 

 Poehlmann White Killameys now have 

 stems up to forty-two inches long, wood 

 heavier than on Beauty and buds almost 

 as large. If other growers can do this 

 variety as well, when stock becomes more 

 plentiful, as it vdll be in the next 

 year, certainly no other white rose can 

 stand beside it. The Poehlmann city 

 store reports a standing order for ship- 

 ment to Spokane, Wash., additions to 

 which come in each morning by night let- 

 ter telegram. 



E. Wienhoeber returned March 14 from 

 a trip to Philadelphia and New York, 

 on which he was accompanied by his son, 

 William, who has been learning the busi- 

 ness at Pittsburg. 



George Wagner, on Indiana avenue, 

 says that he has made more casket covers 

 in the last three months than in the 

 whole year preceding. He adds that they 

 are quite the fashion in his neighborhood, 

 and that no family of any standing 

 thinks it can have a funeral without a 

 casket cover. The average price is about 



$100.

Cut Flower Industry," read before the 

 Illinois State Florists' Association and 

 published in the Review. The facts 

 given by Mr. Washburn in relation to 

 the extent and cost of doing business 

 seem of special interest in England. 



The chorus girls in the local theaters 

 gave a dance March 10 and in the big 



push that kept things lively from mid- 

 night to dawn there were quite a few 

 florists, wholesale and retail.
