Paul J. Klingspom returned from 

 Chicago last week. He visited the E. 

 0. Amling Co. on the opening day in 

 its new place, Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 and other wholesale houses, and was 

 much interested in the flowers and busi- 

 ness methods of the Great Central mar- 

 ket. 



H. Bayersdorfer reports business ac- 

 tive, with heavy receipts of Easter 

 goods. 



A. B. Cartledge and Eobert A. Craig 

 paid their long-planned visit to Nor- 

 wood January 24. 



Eobert Shock, of M. Eice & Co., re- 

 turned from the south last week. He 

 reports great floral activity. 



The Florex Gardens plan putting 

 their big house now in tomatoes into 

 roses next season. The tomatoes are 

 doing so well that a place must be 

 found for them somewhere on the place. 



Eobert Scott & Son have a red sport 

 from Killarney, that Edward Schwartz 

 is carefully nursing. Phil.

The Market. 



The market's pessimism vanished 

 Wednesday, January 18, when the im- 

 provement in prices began. The last 

 half of the week developed a cheerful 

 outlook, and this continues. There was 

 improvement all along the line, and 

 especially in roses, every variety shar- 

 ing in the uplift, especially American 

 Beauties, as high as 75 cents each being 

 paid for the selected ones. Large quan- 

 tities have been used at the swell din- 

 ners, especially the banquets where 

 Governor Dix and President Taft were 

 the attractions, and at the Gould din- 

 ner preliminary to the wedding Feb- 

 ruary 7. The increase in values was 

 legitimate, for shipments shortened 

 abruptly after the profusion of the 

 weeks since Christmas. Some of the 

 older prophets think there will be a re- 

 action before the present week ends, 

 but all branches of the trade are re- 

 joicing in the change for the better. 



Carnations are plentiful and slightly 

 higher. In all other lines the advance 

 has been small, but a steadier tone pre- 

 vails. Orchids alone remain below nor- 

 mal. The supply is far in excess of 

 other years and the price about half; 

 40 cents was top last week. The qual- 

 ity is high. The best gardenias bring 

 $5 a dozen, for there are few of them. 

 The poorer grades depend on the street 

 merchants for an outlet. Lilies are 

 firmer, and the best command $12 per 

 hundred. Valley remains at $3 per hun- 

 dred for top, and there is plenty of it. 

 Violets never go above 50 cents, even 

 with the increased demand; 40 cents
