Don*! Gel Left— Last Call on 

 Rooted Cuttings, April Delivery. 



delivery-— which, from past experience, however, won't last long-. 



You still have ONE opportunity to get a stock of rooted cuttings of our splendid new 

 Carnation, Dorothy Gordon, for fall and winter trade. Early orders took our entire stock 

 during February and March, but we offer a limited quantity of fine tooted cuttings for April 

 Meanwhile our 



Carnation Dorothy Gordon 



Has added to Its laurels: At the Toronto show, just closed, a gold medal was awarded this Carnation when exhibited in competition with others. Carnation 

 Dorothy Gordon IS a winner— a winner of prizes and a winner of profits, as our customers are learning;. 



Some of its merits are: Strong constitution- abtolutely free from diseases; wonderful productiveness - 50 per cent more flowers than Enchantress; good 

 color clear, uniform pink; splendid form and keeping qualities- flowers last four and six days after cutting; and enormous size— averaging three inches in diameter. 

 We know of no variety possessing all these strong qualities. 



. Order NOW some of the splendid stock we offer for April. Prices remain the same-$ 10 per 100; $75 per 1 GOO— and you'll find, long before the sea- 

 son IS over, that it was the best investment you made this year. If you want to investigate first, come to see us, or write for particulars- but don't delay, for the stock 

 won't last.

The Market 



While business the forepart of last 

 week was not quite so brisk as the latter 

 half, still it can be said that it was satis- 

 factory, for the supply in all lines was 

 heavy and there was none left. 



The prospects for Easter are bright, 

 although the supply, and to some extent 

 the demand, will undoubtedly depend 

 upon the weather. Of late, this has been 

 quite favorable and the prospects, at this 

 time, are that there will be enough stock 

 in cut flowers, as well as plants; in fact 

 there are more and better plants to be 

 had now than in former years, especially 

 in Easter lilies, azaleas and ramblers. 



There was a brisk demand for white 

 carnations, to be used principally for St. 

 Patrick's day, but the supply was lim- 

 ited, consequently they brought a good 

 price. The yellow rose will reign su- 

 preme. Palm Sunday, for it seems to be 

 the favorite of those who are confirmed 

 on that day. 



Various Notes. 



Monday, March 14, most of the large 

 drygoods stores held their annual spring 

 openings, which helped to keep several 

 of the florists on the jump for a number 

 of days. 



Mr. Bolter, of the Riverside Green- 

 houses, Appleton, Wis., was a mid-week 

 caller. 



Mr. C. E. Schaefer, of La Crosse, be- 

 sides looking for Easter stock, visited 

 several growers to compare his stock with 

 that grown in this vicinity. 



Although he had to use crutches, John 

 Bourgaise, of Bacine, was a caller last 

 week. It was his first trip up here since 

 the middle of December, at which time he 

 broke his ankle. He says he is getting 

 along nicely. 



Since March 12, Fred Manke, of Manke 

 Bros., North Milwaukee, has worn an un- 

 usuaUy broad smile. It was on that day 

 that a fine baby boy, heir number one, ar- 

 rived to brighten the home. So far all 

 is well. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. shipped over 

 10,000 carnation blooms to St. Paul and 

 Minneapolis, Friday, March 11. 



The C. C. PoUworth Co. made several 

 J urge shipments of plants to Chicago 

 March 12. They are fortunate in having 

 a good crop of yellow roses these days. 



Martin Reukauf, representing H. Bay- 

 ersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, called on 

 the trade last week. 



We regret to report that death claimed 

 Elmer J., infant son of Mr. and Mrs. 

 Chas. Menger, 536 Twenty-seventh street, 

 Monday, March 7. The funeral took 

 place March 9, with interment at Forest 

 Home cemetery.
