The Market. 



Business is dull. The wholesalers 

 have an oversupply of all kinds of 

 stock and prices are low. Nothing in 

 the immediate future is apparent to 

 help clean up the market. Roses are 

 holding up fairly well. The demand 

 last week inclined toward pink. Car- 

 nations are in large oversupply and 

 some are off color. The longiflorums, 

 valley and Shasta daisies are excep- 

 tional in quality. The stems on the 

 sweet peas, though still long enough 

 to work up easily, are not nearly 

 what they were. The supply of dec- 

 orative greens is sufficient to meet all 

 demands. 



Various Notes. 



Olson & Lunden, of Plantsville, re- 

 port the last winter as being one of the 

 most successful they ever have wit- 

 nessed. 



William Fischer, who has recently 

 undergone an operation at the Meri- 

 den hospital, is reported much im- 

 proved. His many friends hope to see 

 him back at his greenhouses soon. Mr. 

 Fischer purchased the Buckland Green- 

 houses from Olson & Lunden last 

 autumn. 



Mothers' day was a big success here 

 last year. We could not get enough 

 carnations to supply the demand. This 

 year it has been advertised more, and 

 the florists are looking forward to a 

 much larger demand. 



The force at the Curtis Greenhouses 

 is kept busy with the outdoor stock 

 this warm weather. 



The Blatchley Co. has a fine lot of 

 pansy plants this spring. 



Otto Glueck, of Marion, is kept hus- 

 tling getting orders for vegetable 

 plants. This is Mr. Glueck 's first win- 

 ter in the florists' business. He re- 

 ports a fine trade, both wholesale and 

 retail. B. 



MADISON, N. J. 



.John H. Dunlop, of Toronto, was a 

 visitor at Madison April 26, the guest 

 of C. H. Totty and M. C. Ebel. Mr. 

 Ebel discussed insecticides, and ex- 

 plained the process of manufacturing 

 Aphine and Fungine. Mr. Dunlop ac- 

 cepted the Canadian agency for these 

 products. 



At Mr. Totty 's big plant all is life 

 and business is booming. Here 500 

 varieties of mums are growing, 100,000 

 in pots and 80,000 in sand. In process 

 of planting in the field are 160,000 car- 

 nations, including Wodenethe, White 

 House, Princess Charming, Winsor 

 and the Enchantress triplets. There 

 are also 15,000 pots of the Golden 

 Bantam corn ready for early planting. 

 There are 160,000 grafted and 200,000 

 own-root roses of the Lady Hillingdon, 

 Radiance, Rose Queen and other popu- 

 lar varieties. Wm. E. Tricker is fore- 

 man and has thirty men employed. 

 Shipping goes on night and day, and 

 he says the demand is constantly in- 

 creasing. Wodenethe is in fine con- 

 dition and the new yellow rose is 

 popular. 



The Noe rose growing combination 

 is one of the biggest things in Jersey. 

 L. A. Noe, L. M. Noe and the Noe farm 

 comprise an industry that totals 400,- 

 000- square feet of glass, forty big 

 greenhouses, supplied with every mod- 

 ern convenience, with hundreds of acres 

 of farm land, an abundance of .Jersey 



cows, a model dairy that sends out 

 1,000 quarts of pure milk every day,, 

 and fish ponds, ball fields and many 

 other luxuries. Mr. Noe is a great 

 sportsman. In his greenhouses are 

 100,000 ro8es, 45,000 of them American 

 Beauties. Joseph Rusicka, the cour- 

 teous and competent manager of it all, 

 has been in the Noe service for fifteen 

 years. ^^_ 



TORONTO. 



The Market. 



The shipments of cut stock coming 

 into this market have been heavy and, 

 although business has been fair, the 

 supply in most lines exceeds the de- 

 mand. Everything is plentiful, espe- 

 cially carnations, which are coming in 

 better than at any previous time this 

 season. White is in big demand, much 

 of it being used for design work, which 

 has been quite plentiful. Easter lilies 

 that were left over, or were late in 

 coming in, are also being used for de- 

 signs. 



A slight increase in the corsage de- 

 mand was occasioned by the horse 

 show at the Armory last week. 



Various Notes. 



J. S. Simmons captured first prize in 

 one of the three classes for best win- 

 dow decorations in the colors of the 

 Horse Show Association, yellow and 

 blue. J. H. Dunlop, though not entered 

 in the competition, secured third in the 

 same class. 



J. S. Simmons had the decoration for 

 the banquet of the horse show directors. 

 The tables were set around a miniature 

 arena of tan bark. In the center of 

 the .arena was the judges ' stand, deco- 

 rated with forget-me-nots and daffo- 

 dils, the show colors. 



A. E. Moore is now in control of the 

 Georgetown Floral Co., and received 

 his first shipments May 1. 



A deputation from the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club of this city waited 

 on the fire and light committee to se- 

 cure an amendment to the by-laws re- 

 lating to greenhouse construction. As 

 in the past, however, nothing could be 

 done. 



The seed and bulb business is rushing 

 just now. The Steele-Briggs Seed Co. 

 and J. A. Simmers report a big trade.
