continue to come in heavily and of good 

 quality, selling fairly well. The Hudson 

 River stock last week came in consider- 

 ably heavier than heretofore and the 

 quality in many instances is finer than 

 usual at this date, but sales have been 

 extremely slow. Even for the Saturday 

 bargain day it was not possible to make 

 a clearance, though many sales were 

 made as low as $1.50 per thousand for 

 the stock that had been standing around 

 for the better part of the week. Of 

 course the best of each day's arrivals 

 are selling at fair prices, but the de- 

 mand is so much less than the supply 

 that only a small fraction of the re- 

 ceipts realize regular prices. Sweet peas 

 are somewhat more abundant. The qual- 

 ity is exceptionally good and sales are 

 fairly satisfactory. There are, of course, 

 many short-stemmed peas that realize 

 little. Some of the growers have not 

 yet awakened to the fact that peas, to 

 be profitable, must be good. Bulbous 

 stock is coming in more abundantly, in 

 spite of the fact that during Lent many 

 seek to reduce their shipments. Some 

 extremely good tulips are to be had of 

 such varieties as Murillo and Couronno 

 d'Or, but other tulips are well sold if 

 they realize 2 cents. Eomans are not 

 often seen and Paper Whites are less 

 abundant, as is freesia. Daffodils and 

 Jonquils are plentiful. There is an abun- 

 dance of Easter lilies and callas and 

 valley is slow sale, weddings for the mo- 

 ment not being numerous. 



The green goods situation remains 

 quiet. Ferns are now generally held at 

 .$3. Boxwood is selling fairly well. 

 Asparagus bunches are scarce, but there 

 is a good supply of strings. Smilax is 

 less plentiful. Adiantum is in slightly 

 better request. 



Budlong'S'New Quarters. 



For its city store the J. A. Budlong 

 estate has taken a two vears' lease on

a second floor space in the Bryant & 

 Stratton building on Randolph street, 

 opposite the Public Library. The room 

 is 45x80, with freight elevator, light 

 and in every way well adapted to the 

 wholesale cut flower business. Occupy- 

 ing the room with Budlong will be 

 Sinner Bros., M. C. Gunterberg and 

 probably others now in the Flower 

 Growers' market, though Mr. Sinner 

 states that he acted for his firm and 

 not for the Flower Growers' Co., of 

 which he is manager, in the negotia- 

 tions just concluded. The room will be 

 fitted up in first-class style. Removal 

 is to be about April 1. 



One of the interesting features of 

 the deal is that it marks the market's 

 further progress eastward on Randolph 

 street, toward Michigan avenue, to 

 which thoro'ighfare many observers 

 think the cut flower business will gravi- 

 tate. The location is two doors east of 

 Randall and Angling. 



Club Meeting. 



Vice-president A. C. Kohlbrand occu- 

 pied the chair at the meeting of the 

 Florists' Club, March 2. President Phil- 



pott postponed his monthly trip from 

 Winnipeg so as to be here for the trip 

 to Boston. The transportation commit- 

 tee reported that arrangements had been 

 made to go via the Lake Shore, leaving 

 at 5.30 p. m. March 23, arriving at Bos- 

 ton the evening before the National 

 Flower Show opens. All who will go 

 were asked to notify E. F. Winterson, 

 of the committee, 45 Wabash avenue, 

 who will reserve berths. If a suflicient 

 number make reservations a special 

 train will be run; otherwise special cars 

 will be carried on the Lake Shore 

 Limited, one of the finest trains in the 

 world. Of those present A. T. Pyfer, 

 August Jurgens and C. W. Johnson sig 

 nified their intention of going. 



The bowling committee reported that 

 two teams will go to Milwaukee on the 

 11:30 train, March 19, for a match with 

 the Milwaukee Florists' Club bcSwlers. 

 They invited all the rooters to go along. 



Harry F. Gray, Wm. Wolf, R. E. 

 Newcomb, Edward Goldstein and C. A. 

 Beatty were elected to membership, and 

 applications were received from G. L. 

 Klimmeck, Wm. Harbitz, F. J. Krai, Jr., 

 and E. A. Ollinger.
