 on out-of-town work. 



Henry Kusik & Co. shipped out a lot 

 of stock the last two weeks. The ctdl 

 for florists' supplies is increasing every 

 month with this firm. 



Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co., 

 Inc., reports a shortage on cut flowers 

 on account of the cloudy weather and 

 funeral work. 



The Alpha IJloral Co. received a con- 

 signment of ten cases of boxwood and

The Market. 



The business conditions since Easter 

 are gratifying to wholesalers .as Well- 

 as retailers, and owing . to; the> dry 

 weather those florists having stands at 

 the public markets and the landscape 

 gardeners in general report a marked 

 increase in their regular sales. Wed- 

 dings and funerals help to clean up the 

 out-of-town as well as the home grown 

 stock of cut flowers. Lilies, spiraeas aud 

 Iris Hispanica are still in bloom, vaf 

 ley and orchids are fine, and soou the 

 general cutting of outdoor grown Cre- 

 ole lilies and gladioli will take place. 

 Outdoor roses, especially long and me- 

 dium stemmed, are scarce and those in 

 bloom have to be wired to be used in 

 bunches. As a rule they are only fit 

 for design work. Owing to the warm 

 weather we enjoyed during the latter 

 part of March, the growers started to 

 put the more hardy kinds of greenhouse 

 plants outside, some of them in the open 

 air and others under latticed sheds, but 

 the more tender plants are still kept 

 inside on account of the extremely cool 

 nights we have had this month.

Your representative had the pleasure 

 of meeting George M. Geraghty, of John 

 H. Dunlop'a, Toronto, on the train re- 

 turning from the International Flower 

 Show at New York. Mr. Geraghty 

 seemed as thoroughly convinced as the 

 rest of the Toronto and Montreal vis- 

 itors to the show that it did not come 

 up to the standard set at Boston by the

^ The old ice box must go. It's too expensive. 

 It eats into the profits — and doesn't keep the

 uses the United system. Get particulars —
