 Manufacturers of CHERRY RED STANDARD POTS of all sizes 



Our clay is mined from the old Morrow County Beaver Swamp, which enables us to furnish florists with 

 pots noted for strength, porosity, beauty in color, lightness in weight and smoothness in surface, making 

 them especially adapted to the successful growth of plants. 



Our factory is equipped with new and up-to-date machinery. Our capacity is greater and our ware- 

 house full of stock. We are ready to give all orders prompt attention. Give us your order and we will 

 satisfy you.

BOCHESTEB. 



The Market. 



The ijrophecies made by Rochester 

 florists with reference to the Easter 

 trade were in almost every instance ful- 

 filled. Despite the unpleasant weather 

 on Saturday — rain, snow, mud and 

 slush — the florists' stores were filled 

 with buyers and the telephone bells 

 kept up a constant jingling. The after- 

 noon found stocks depleted, in some 

 cases exhausted. Last year one could 

 buy violets, daffodils, roses and carna- 

 tions of the sidewalk dealers, but this 

 time these merchants had only a few 

 roses and carnation^ to offer. The 

 wholesale houses were practically sold 

 out before three o'clock. 



Easter lilies, spiraeas and azaleas had 

 the call in plants, and almost every 

 Rochester woman wore sweet peas or 

 violets, the latter being by far the more 

 popular. 



Several of the large churches were 

 elaborately decorated with Easter lilies, 

 and these were sent on Monday to the 

 homes of sick members and to the 

 hospitals. In addition to these, hundreds 

 of palms were rented for decorative 

 purposes, and as practically all had to 

 be delivered on Saturday afternoon 

 and evening, the florists were certainly 

 too tired to enjoy the Sunday services. 



But it was a big week for sales, and 

 undoubtedly proved to be a profitable 

 week, for prices remained high enough 

 to yield a good margin for both grower 

 and retailer. E, F. R.

Florists are natural diplomats and 

 when one enters politics he almost always 

 is successful. Still, the accomplishment 

 of Carl F. Fugleberg at the recent elec- 

 tion is notable. Mr. Fugleberg is the 

 senior partner of Fugleberg & Flister, 

 proprietors of the South Side Flower Ex- 

 change. He was elected alderman in the 

 third ward, where there never before has 

 been a Republican representative in the 

 city council. Also, Mr. Fugleberg is the 

 youngest man ever elected to the city 

 .council in this town of 36,000 population; 

 he is only 28 years old. 



Springfield, O. — Schneider the Florist 

 announced, just before Easter, that 

 there was such a scarcity of potted 

 plants here as might well be termed a 

 famine.

C"A little pot is soon hot"; so 

 is a thin pot. Our pots are 

 much thinner and tougher 

 than others. It's the quality 

 of the clay. Write for our
