The Market. 



Roses are plentiful and of good qual- 

 ity. Carnations are in good supply, 

 with prices somewhat lower since last 

 week. Sweet peas are to be had for 

 everybody, in pink and white, with 

 extra long stems, and wholesale at 75 

 cents per hundred. We have no tulips 

 as yet. Quite a lot of Christmas surplus 

 stock has been worked up in funeral 

 designs, for which there was a good 

 demand.. 



Various Notes. 



D. Freudenthal reports an excellent 

 business, both in cut flowers and potted 

 plants. He has been quite busy with 

 funeral work the last few days. He 

 has just installed a fine mahogany rib- 

 bon case, which adds much to his store. 



By the looks of Miss J. Murray's 

 show window this week, she must have 

 had an extra good business. 



Mrs. Eberfield is handling some fine 

 stock of roses and carnations in her 

 new store on Walnut street. All of her 

 flowers come from Chicago. 



Samuel Murray's show window has 

 quite a forsaken look this week, com- 

 pared with Christmas week. 



Mrs. Fred Schwan is bringing in 

 some excellent single violets at present. 

 She is quite successful in growing this 

 variety, which she claims originally 

 was imported from France. D. Freuden- 

 thal takes all she grows and finds a 

 ready sale for them. It is impossible to 

 buy a single plant of these violets from 

 Mrs. Schwan, as she wants to keep the 

 entire stock herself. 



S. B. Avers, of Independence, Mo., is 

 talking of building two more green- 

 houses for cut flowers the coming sum- 

 mer. He has plenty of land, so that he 

 can let the good work go on. 



The Humfeld-Orear Floral Co. has 

 been quite busy. Thursday, December 

 29, they had a large decoration at the 

 Baltimore hotel. They also had a wed- 

 ding decoration in the east part of the 

 city the same day. 



The Alpha Floral Co. must be look- 

 ing forward to a great deal of funeral 

 work, judging from the looks of the 

 large lot of sphagnum moss just re- 

 <3.eived. W. H. H. 



Athens, 111. — J. H. Grohe says that 

 the long dry spell is making the grow- 

 ers in this section much trouble. He is 

 forced to buy water for his greenhouse 

 .stock at oO cents per barrel. 



GERANIIMS

 into the finest kind of plants for spring sales. The finest varieiies 

 in their respective colors for bedding. 



Marvel, dark red; A. Ricard, orange scarlet; Decorator, the im- 

 proved Ricard; M. de Castellane, cherry red; Jean Viaud, pink; 

 Castries, pink; Beaute de Poitevine, salmon; Countess de Harcourt, 

 white. From 2-inch pots, $2.50 per lOO; $i0.oO per 1000.
