The florists of this city held a meet- ing the past week to talk over some conditions that are thought to be detri- mental to the trade, the most important of which was giving door wreaths or palms free to undertakers. Also the practice of giving a commission on funeral work. Spme interesting speeches were rendered by our most prominent men, and as nothing definite was de- cided upon, another meeting will be held on March 18 at the Florists' Club. A visit to the plant of R. Addicott & Son found stock in fine shape. A house of roses gives promise of a good cut, also two houses of carnations that have done well, appear as though they will continue to do the same right along. Smith & Fetters had a very attractive window display entirely of novelties for St. Patrick's day. Ohio. Columbus, O. TRADE FAIR.

The lily crop promises to be fine, and also the cut flowers, if the present fine weather continues. Roses and carna- tions are looking well and some nice stock has been cut during the past week. florists' club meeting.
