Pussy Willow 





The first heralds of Spring's coming. A few of these 

 soft, furry, tufted sprays, artistically tied on each box of 

 flowers, give it a touch of originality and distinctiveness, 

 bringing trade which your less progressive neighbor wonders 

 how you get. $3.00 per dozen bunches; very choice. 



Some Splendid New Roses 



New forcing Irish rose "MELODY," the very best yellow 

 rose today. Also the "DOUBLE PINK KILLARNEY." Heavy 

 orders already booked. Stock limited. Orders filled strictly 

 in rotation. Delivery in March. Two other good ones of 

 this season, " PRINCE DE BULGARIE " and " ROSE QUEEN," are 

 also on our list. Send for prices and particulars.

Tliere is a wide mar^rin of profit between the manufacturing 

 cost and what the retailer pays. The nearer you buy to the 

 manufacturer the closer you get to the manufacturing cost. 

 Therefore it is reasonable to suppose that when you cut 

 out the Jobber, tbe asent and the commission 

 house an(l buy direct from ttie manufacturer 



YOU SAVE ALL BETWEEN PROFITS

The Market. 



Business continues fair. There haa 

 not been any great surplus. Owing to 

 the sunless weather, supplies were less 

 abundant than usual, but the demand 

 was only moderate. It seemed good to 

 see the sun February 11 and have it 

 actually remain with us for a full day. 

 The shortage of roses is not yet re- 

 lieved and prices have held quite high 

 all week. Few of even the short stems 

 went below $6 last week, and while 

 prices are a little softer now, roses ar» 

 not overabundant. A few bright day* 

 will see a much heavier cut. Carna-
