two new houses this spring, one for roses 

 and the other for carnations and chrys- 

 anthemums. The old house will be used 

 for potted plants and greens. 



Ralph Anderson, manager of the Queen 

 City Floral Co., Traverse City, has started 

 the erection of a greenhouse on Union 

 street. The house will be 17x150 feet, 

 with walls of cement blocks, and will be 

 modern and favorably located for show 

 room purposes. 



The Woman's Club of Houghton will 

 cooperate this year with the Houghton 

 public schools in providing a big flower 

 show this fall, to be held in that city 

 in connection with the Copper Country 

 Fair. 



The Schultz greenhouses, at Marinette, 

 Wis., the twin city of Menominee, are 

 being enlarged, and will occupy double 

 their former space. A neat oflSce will be 

 built on tbe State street corner, apart 

 from the houses. A. G.

The Market 



The market last week was irregular. 

 Some days there was quite a demand and 

 other days nothing was doing at all. The 

 entire week the market had plenty of 

 everything and prices were made to nuit 

 buyers. 



There are plenty of extra fine roses, 

 Killarney, Richmond, Carnot, Bride and 

 Maid. The extra select do not bring 

 over $6 per hundred. Beauties, too, are 

 raore than enough in all grades. Carna- 

 tions are more plentiful than any other 

 flower in the market, and cheaper than 

 at any time this season. There is also 

 a good supply of sweet peas and lily of 

 the valley. In lilies, both calla and 

 Harrisii are cheap and in big supply. 



Fancy ferns are up to $3 per thou- 

 sand. All other greens are in fair de- 

 "land, especially asparagus.

William C. Young, of the C. Young &

William Schray & Sons have their

 plenty of orders for planting. The
