The Market. 



Bright, spring-like woatlier is with us 

 again , and although good stock is rather 

 scarce the outlook from now on is very 

 good. Easter being so near at hand the 

 wise florist is beginning to look about 

 for novelties, etc., with which to attract 

 the public eye, and nicely gotten up show 

 windows are the result. ^Yhat will be 

 the condition of the market at Easter 

 is a hard question to answer, but one 

 thing is already assured, and that is 

 that we will have more stock than ever 

 before for this holiday. More stock and 

 better stock and every one should be sat- 

 isfied. 



The past week did not bring forth 

 any great rush of business, in fact things 

 moved along in a rather slow fashion 

 and prices had a tendency to go towards 

 the cellar. A good supply of funeral 

 work formed the main cause of demand 

 and helped things out greatly. In the 

 latter part of the week things bright- 

 ened up a trifle and by Saturday most all 

 kinds of stock, with the exception of bul- 

 bous, especially Jonquils and Von Sions, 

 was cleared out and at rising prices. 



Roses were not in quite so heavy supply 

 as last week, as several large growers are 

 off crop, but the quality of the stock 

 was not very good, the percentage of 

 seconds and thirds being ahead of the 

 firsts. Brides, Maids, Meteors, Perles, 

 Golden Gates, brought $2 to $6. But by 

 far the majority sold slow at the former 

 figure. Brides sold best, as is usual at 

 this time of year. Second Maids were 

 the hardest to move and a good many 

 went at job lot prices. 



As has been the fact for the greater 

 part of this season first-class carnations 

 had the best call. Those medium fancy 

 varieties are the ones and they sold well ; 

 $3 was the average price obtained ; or- 

 dinary grades, $1.50 to $2 per 100. In 

 colors white had the call, but a good red 

 was rapidly snapped up. Good red car- 

 nations have been rather scarce all this 

 season. Bulbous .stock met with but fair 

 demand, but there was nothing slow 

 about the supply and good Romans could 

 be had at IVjc to 2c. Tulips, 2c to 3c. 

 Some fancy double tulips reached 4c. 

 Violets are becoming a drug, except for 

 the very best. The single varieties meet 

 with much better demand than the double 

 and bring a better price. Many of the 

 latter kind sold at $l..iO to $2 per 1,000. 

 Good single ones brought 35c to 50c per 

 100 and wore well cleaned up.
