COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



Trade has been brisk the last two 

 ■weeks, with a good line of stock on the 

 market. Funeral work has been heavy 

 and has used up an unusual amount of 

 stock. There have been several good 

 decorations to help things along, and 

 taking it as a whole trade has, in most 

 cases, been tolerably good. Eoses have 

 been in demand, the quantity being 

 about equal to the call except on two 

 or three occasions when the market was 

 extra heavy on all stock. 



Carnations are more plentiful at the 

 present than at any time during the 

 winter, and while the size is good the 

 stock is a little soft. Sweet peas are 

 selling well and quantities are used up 

 in corsage orders. They have met with 

 great favor thus far. Violets are com- 

 ing alone nicely and are moving well, 

 the home grown single improving ma- 

 terially in last week or ten days. Val- 

 ley has been in good demand and some 

 good home grown stock is to be had. 

 Bulb stock is moving rather light as a 

 rule. 



Various Notes. 



The business of Wm. Graff is being 

 carried on by the administrator, C. F. 

 Wheeler, a particular friend of our late 

 Brother Graff. Ben Flynn is managing 

 the business and reports things moving 

 nicely at the present time. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. place 

 is still torn up. A new window is being 

 put in and it will take a week or ten 

 days for completion. 



Sherman F. Stephens reports good 

 business at the present time, especially 

 in funeral work. 



E. Metzmaier reports heavy business 

 all along the line. 



Wm. Johnson, of the Fifth Avenue 

 Floral Co., scalded his leg badly at his 

 home a week ago and was off duty for 

 a week on account of it. 



Sam Graff was calling on the trade 

 the last few days. J. M. 



TAEEYTOWN, N. Y. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Tarrytown Horticultural Society was 

 held Tuesday evening, February 27, 

 with President Wittlinger in the chair 

 and a good number of members present. 

 The prize offered by J. W. Smith for 

 the best vase of roses was awarded to 

 A. Weeks, who had a fine vase of My 

 Maryland. W. Scott read an interest- 

 ing and instructive essay on "How to 

 Grow Chrysanthemums for Exhibi- 

 tion," which was greatly appreciated 

 and was accorded a hearty vote of 

 thanks. 



At the next meeting, to be held 

 March 26, there will be a smoker and 

 a cordial invitation is extended to mem' 

 bers of neighboring societies to attend. 

 A social and enjoyable evening is as- 

 sured and a delegation from each is 

 expected. G. M.

 — the Bar that 

 makes U-Bar 

 Greenhouses the 

 famous green- 

 houses they are. 



It's every way practical, because, first and foremost 

 it is a U-Bar house. That tells its own story of a care- 

 fully planned plan — a perfect arrangement of the heat- 

 ing—ample ventilation and the innumerable little things 

 that go with a thoroughly thought out and liberally con- 

 structed house. A splendid piece of workmanship it is 

 from start to finish. No skimping done. U-Bar houses 

 are not built that way. 



They are sold because of wbat they are and not 

 because of how cheap they are. If you want a top-notch 

 house that unquestionably excels all other curved-eave 

 houses— then the U-Bar is the one. Write us.
