rather low«r than a year ago, if any- 

 thing. 



Violets are less plentiful than they 

 were, but the opinion is that the grow- 

 ers are simply accumulating a supply to 

 pick at the end of the week for the 

 large demand anticipated for St. Valen- 

 tine 's day. Cattleyas are slightly less 

 plentiful and prices are stiffening. The 

 quality of many of the Trianae coming 

 in is superlatively good. The number of 

 local sources of supply is increasing rap- 

 idly. Gardenias have been going a little 

 slow, but many advance orders for vio- 

 lets, cattleyas, gardenias and valley 

 have been booked for Valentine's day. 

 Sweet peas have become one of the 

 short items. Some of the slock now 

 coming in is of exceptional quality, but 

 the supply is not large in any grade. 



Boses are slightly easier simply for 

 the reason that demand has abated; the 

 supply has increased only slightly. In 

 fact. Beauties are less plentiful than 

 they were. Once more it is apparent 

 that the finest grade of Killarney, 

 White Killarney and Richmond are the 

 slowest to move. 



Some of the wholesalers complain 

 that Adiantum Farleyense is not prop- 

 erly appreciated. For the moment, Mex- 

 ican ivy is the popular green. Ferns 

 are stiffening in price and some of the 

 wholesalers predict that the fireworks 

 will begin before the month is out. 



Club Meeting. 



The members of the Chicago Florists' 

 Club evidently think that if the club's 

 president, H. E. Philpott, can come all 

 the way from Winnipeg for each meet- 

 ing, it is up to those who live in the 

 city to be present when his gavel falls. 



Nei^ Rose 



Now booking orders for HILJ)A, deep pink 

 sport of My Maryland. 2is-inch. $20.00 per 100; 

 1150.00 per 1000.
