M)u:ket conditions have chang|d J))|j|^ 

 little since last week. A feW^xtra 

 fine asters are coming in. Easter lilies 

 are in fair demand and of good qual- 

 ity. Water lilies, goldenrod, etc., fill 

 up the store windows at small expense- 

 Various Notes. 



J. F. Sullivan, wife and family mo- 

 tored down from Detroit last week, and 

 called at several greenhouse establish- 

 ments and stores in and around Cleve- 

 land. 



Grover P. Schrerer, strong-arm man 

 and chief decorator for the Jones & 

 Eussell Co., surprised his friends last 

 week by getting married. The bride 

 is Miss Ethel Logan, also of the Jones 

 & Russell force. 



The annual picnic of the Florists' 

 Club will be held in about two weeks; 

 the exact date will be announced later. 

 The committee reports having started a 

 subscription list to get money for 

 prizes, with good results so far. 



Incorporation papers were taken out 

 at Columbus last week for the Ohio 

 Horticultural Society. W. G. Mather is 

 president; A. F. Holden, vice-president, 

 and John N. Stockwell, secretary and 

 treasurer. The society proposes to hold 

 a flower show in November of this year. 

 The preliminary premium list will be 

 out in a few days. Liberal prizes are 

 offered for chrysanthemums, pot plants 

 and c\it flowers; also for roses, carna- 

 tions and general greenhouse plants. 

 The retail section offers prizes for table 

 decorations, arrangements of flowers, 

 bouquets, etc. It is hoped to make the 

 prizes of such size as to induce the 

 large growers from other cities to bring 

 their exhibits. The hall has not been 

 chosen as yet, but will probably be 

 Gray's armory.

 the trade last week, selling red pots,

tjERAlVfUMS 



At about this time of the year there are quite a few, not 

 only of small growers, but large growers of Geraniums of a 

 marketable size, that are hunting around and planting out 

 for stock, such plants as their customers would not buy. Is 

 there any reason, then, why we so often hear the complaint 

 that a certain variety does not grow and bloom as well as 

 it did some years ago ? There couldn't be anything more 

 natural through such a method of degenerating conditions. 



With us it is different. We are constantly selecting our 

 stock with men trained to discover any signs of variation, 

 with instructions to discard every stock plant with habits 

 which do not measure up to the highest standard of its 

 variety, and to nurture those that show an improvement in 

 any way. In this way we have gradually improved our stock 

 until now it represents the highest possible type of perfection. 



Oar Catalogue and Price List is yours for the asking.
