MADISON, N. J. 



The annual event known as "Carna- 

 tion Night" with the Morris County 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Society will 

 be held in Madison, Wednesday eve- 

 ning, March 13. Three papers on the 

 carnation will be read: On "Culture," 

 by G. F. Neipp, of Chatham; on "Prop- 

 agation," by George Hubbard, of Chas. 

 H. Totty's establishment; on "The 

 Carnation of Today and Twenty Years 

 Ago," by John Downing. 



Madison is strong in carnations and 

 a good lot of standard varieties may 

 be looked for. The society wants all 

 possible consignments of novelties. All 

 consignments sent to Chas. H. Totty, 

 Madison, N. J., will be carefully looked 

 after, and there is lots of room to stage 

 them to the best possible advantage.

CINCINNATI. 



The Gateway to the South. 



The lenteu season has hit the local 

 market one awful wallop. At the time 

 of this writing stock is piling up every 

 day and there are few, if any, pros- 

 pects of cleaning up much of it. Open- 

 ings from now on will use some and 

 will be a big help. The great bulk of 

 the work now, however, is for funerals, 

 while shipping business continues good. 



The rose supply is again adequate 

 and before the end of this week will 

 probably be more than sufficient, for 

 they are coming in stronger each day'. 

 Richmond and good American Beauties 

 clean up each day. The offerings of 

 the other colors and varieties are large 

 and good in respect to quality. 



Carnations have dropped to the low- 

 est point they have been since the sea- 

 son for them opened. They are in large 

 supply and the market is unable to 

 use all of them. Many, however, are 

 so (1, but at buyers' prices. The white 

 sell up the best of all. 



Violets meet with almost no call, and, 

 strange to relate at this time of the 

 year, the same words will almost tell 

 the condition of the market for longi- 

 florum and calla lilies. Some choice of- 



Shamrock Green Coloring 



FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY 



The finest prepared dye on the market. One package will make 1^ qts. of col- 

 oring. Can be used with either warm or cold water. Gives the flower a beautiful 

 Shamrock Green color. Will color white and light pink carnations, white roses and

 quality of the flowers. Satisfaction guaranteed. Order now, as we have only a lim- 

 ited supply. A trial will convince you.

ferings of rubrum are also lingering in 

 the refrigerators. Bulbous stock gen- 

 erally is meeting with a limited de- 

 mand. The same, owing to the large 

 offerings, seems true of sweet peas. 

 The good ones alone sell; the short 

 ones and culls scarcely find a market 

 at all. 



The green goods supply is ample and 

 business in this line is good. 



Various Notes. 



Ed. Fries, of Ft. Thomas, Ky., has 

 every available inch of space in his 

 houses filled with stock ready for the 

 Easter and spring trade. As usual, he 

 is long on pot lilies and spiraea, and 

 both look good. He has gone in for 

 bedding stock heavier this year than 

 in the past and he always has a goodly 

 lot. Most of his carnations will be in 

 full crop at Easter time. 



C. E. Critchell has been offering some 

 choice Killarney and Bridesmaid roses. 



Fred Eupp, of Lawrenceburg, Ind., 

 who was laid up for a time with ty- 

 phoid, is about again.
