Mention The Review when you write, 



Carnations are in good demand and 

 are selling at about $15 per thousand, 

 and $2 in hundred lots. Common sorts 

 and splits are down to $1 per hundred. 

 A heavy crop is expected in these this 

 week. In California violeitsy ./too,' the 

 supply is greater than the demand ; good 

 Californias sell at about 25 cents per 

 hundred. Callas and Harrisii lilies are 

 plentiful, with the demand good. Cat- 

 tleyas have sold well at $5 per dozen. 

 Bulb stock is becoming more and more 

 abundant each day. Dutch hyacinths, 

 tulips, jonquils, Von Sions, valley, 

 freesias, Romans and Paper Whites can 



be had in any quantities from any of 

 the wholesalers. The market now is in 

 better shape than at any time since the 

 first of the year. Fancy ferns, smilax 

 and asparagus also are in big supply. 



Various Notes. 



Martin Reukauf, traveling salesman 

 for H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, 

 spent part of last week in this city. 



J. Nielsen, lately with the C. C. Poll- 

 worth Co., Milwaukee, visited the trade 

 here last week. 



William C. Young, head of the C. 

 Young & Sons Co. greenhouse plant. 



says they will have a grand lot of lilies 

 for Easter, as well as other kinds of 

 blooming plants. 



A. Werner & Bro., rose growers at 

 Clayton, are again in crop with rcses 

 and are sending to this market an ex- 

 cellent quality of Killarney, White KU- 

 larney and Richmond. The W. C. Smith 

 Wholesale Floral Co. handles all their 

 stock. 



Jule Koenig, of the city forester's 

 office, is out for the appointment as city 

 forester when the mayor hands in his 

 slate of new appointments next month. 

 We hope Mr. Koenig 's name will be 

 among the lot. 



C. C. Sanders, head of the Sanders 

 Nurseries, reports that he will soon 

 start building a 2-story store at his 

 Clara avenue place. The lower floor 

 will be used for his retail store, with a 

 large show house in the rear. The store 

 will be under the management of bis 

 son, Oliver K. Sanders. 



Miss Matilda Meinhardt, who is well 

 known in the trade and a year ago was 

 president of the Ladies' S. A. F., will 

 be missed this year at the August meet- 

 ing, as she is to travel through Europe 

 this summer. 



The opening of the big Hill Grocery- 

 Co., March 4, made a good call for de- 

 signs sent by friends of the firm. One 

 of the most attractive designs was a 

 full sized eagle of flowers, sent by the 

 Eagle Trading Stamp Co. 



The H. J. Weber & Sons Nursery Co. 

 says there is an abundance of orders 

 ahead to keep all the force busy until 

 late in the spring. This firm is now cut- 

 ting some fine roses and carnatioiitf: 

 These have been off crop for some time. 



C. A. Kuehn received large consigB- 

 ments of fancy carnations last week.
