into the Chicago market last season 

 than any other dealer and nearly as 

 many as all the rest combined. He is 

 located in two states, with good build- 

 ings and storage at important shipping 

 points. In Wisconsin a new law re- 

 quires that the fern rights be leased 

 before picking can be done. At Mos- 

 inee, where Mr. Hitchcock has a ware- 

 house, he has leased all the fern terri- 

 tory, also around the town of Moon. 

 The Wisconsin acreage is in the lyco- 

 podium and sphagnum moss district 

 and he will in future deal in those two 

 commodities as well as in ferns. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



Trade has been rushing here in the 

 last week or so, and everybody is on 

 the move now with the spring plant 

 trade. The weather has been rather 

 cool, and rain nearly every day has de- 

 layed planting a great deal, but from 

 now on everything will go out. 



The big movement for beautifying 

 the city is having a good effect, as there 

 are places that have been eyesores here- 

 tofore which are now cleaned up and 

 planted in flowers, and some big jobs 

 have been put through. The indications 

 are that there will not be nearly enough 

 stock to go the rounds. 



Trade here for Mothers' day cleaned 

 up everything in the way of a flower. 

 White carnations went early, followed 

 by everything in sight. 



Some of the flowers coming in are 

 rather poor, especially roses, which 

 have been badly mildewed and rather 

 poor from all points. Carnations are 

 becoming smaller, but great quantities 

 are coming in. Sweet peas are still in 

 big demand, as they are about the only 

 small flowers now on hand for wearing, 

 and they are cleaned up nicely right 

 along. The call for Beauties has been 

 rather light, but there has not been a 

 big stock on hand at any time.

 neceesary to have perfect
