The Market. 



The unusually dry winter seems to 

 be thoroughly broken; the last few 

 weeks brought some good rains, and 

 more recently an 8-iuch snow. The 

 weather for Valentine's day was <fair 

 and warm, and the valentine trade 

 pleased everyone. This year showed 

 more effort in the way of special dis- 

 plays and fancy arrangements, all of 

 which was well repaid. Stock was good, 

 and the demand satisfactory. Prices 

 remained about normal, although vio- 

 lets crowded up slightly and were all 

 taken. Since Valentine's, the weather i 

 has offered samples of every kind in/ 

 the catalogue, but transient demand has 

 been quite good. There has been a no- 

 ticeable lack of local funeral work; in 

 -^ct, the leading cemetery reported a 

 hitherto unparalleled fact, namely, no 

 graves dug for two weeks and three 

 days. 



The beginning of Lent is making a 

 difference in the demand for entertain- 

 ment flowers. Local bulbous stock is 

 coming in heavily and in splendid qual- 

 ity, and other local grown stock is show- 

 ing up better, both in quantity and 

 quality, while there seems to be a 

 marked improvement in shipped flowers. 



Various Notes. 



A look at the principal producing 

 plants shows the spring work well in 

 hand, and general conditions good. 



Charles P. Mueller reports a pleasant 

 time at the Illinois state convention, 

 which he visited. 



Some nice new willow ware has put 

 in an appearance at the downtown 

 stores. R. L. 



ZANESVILLi:, OHIO. 



The members of the Zanesville Flo- 

 rists' Club met February 16 at the store 

 of President J. T. Goodlive, and from 

 there were given a trolley ride to Mr. 

 Goodlive 's greenhouses, on Greenwood 

 avenue. Atter an inspection of the 

 stock, which was in fine shape, the party 

 were given another trolley ride, to Mr. 

 Goodlive 's residence, on Putnam Hill, 

 where a fine night view of Zanesville 

 was obtained from the tower of the resi- 

 dence, which overlooks the Muskingum 

 river. 



The business of the club was then 

 transacted and luncheon was served at 

 a late hour. Everyone liad a jollv good 

 time. " G. W. C.

Mr. Carnation Groiver 



'W'OU KNOW that potted cutting;* make stronger plants 

 * and better plants; they can be planted without water, at 

 any time, and do not even wilt; there is no check in their 

 growth. Crosby's Paper Pots are the best on the market, 

 easiest folded and most convenient, and the prices are next to 

 nothing. Look at these prices on lots of 600 J:
