LILIES 



#JUR Lilies at present are as fine a lot as we ever saw at this date, and will be in all 

 right for Easter without the forcing that makes soft stock. We shall pack at 



the greenhouses in boxes of 50 and 100 — no bruised stock. 



Now booking advance orders at from $12.50 to $15.00 per 100, for first-class 



stock. Short, $8.00 to $10.00 per 100. Write us. 



Large crops of fine Roses for present delivery.

 Next winter they will disseminate three 

 new ones: Sangamo, A. C. Brown's pink; 

 Mary Tolman, the flesh pink of Hunt 

 Bros., and their own Conquest, varie- 

 gated. E. H. Hunt will assist in the 

 distribution. 



C. W. McKellar's Mrs. Oilman violet is 

 still in good shape. 



Zech & Mann think that Easter lilies 

 will be abundant, but say a good many 

 will be short. 



Kruchten & Co. report that a number 

 of growers northwest of town will be off 

 on carnations for several weeks yet. 



W. N. Rudd was at Jacksonville, 111.,

The Market. 



There is no great change in market 

 conditions from a week ago. Business 

 generally has been satisfactory, and 

 there have been no heavy supplies of any 

 flowers. It is now getting so near 

 Easter that there is little likelihood of 

 any slump before that festival arrives. 

 Roses are of decidedly better quality and 

 rather more plentiful, but are selling 

 well. Beauties are extra fine, and so are 

 Killarney. Of Richmond we have seen 

 better samples than are now coming in. 

 Bride, Maid and Chatenay are all good. 

 Carnations are off crop with many grow- 

 ers, and are moving nicely. Violets are 

 abundant, but sell quite well. Sweet 

 peas are the finest they have been this 

 season, and are especially popular. 



Quite a varied assortment of bulbous 

 stock is coming in, but trade in this class 

 of flowers is fairly good. Lilies and 

 callas are sufficient for the market needs. 

 Valley is good, the foliage being better
