. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 1905- Th E American Florist. 117 Teas are keeping up in fair supply, and the quality of all stock is of a good or- der. Carnations have dropped a notch in price and the quotations now read from $ for the poorest to $4 and $5 for the fancies. White continue in strong demand, and, in fact, everything is well taken care of by the buyers, and little stock remains in the ice boxes after the day's business is over. Bulb- ous stock is holding a consistent de- mand, it being a good substitute for the scarce roses.

The boiler room, in which the fire started, was wrecked, and Albert and Jen Jensen, growers, who slept in adjoining build- ings, narrowly escaped with their lives. The loss is partly covered by insurance. A fire on the morning of February 2 caused a loss of several hundred dollars in the retail establishment of John Man- gel, corner of Wabash avenue and Mon- roe street. The blaze started in the bulb and plant room and was caused by the crossing of electric light wires. Bowling matters in Florists' Club cir- cles have been quiet.
