The Market- 



Business is vciy gcioil ;uicl vciv imuli 

 the same as reported last week. The sup- 

 ply keeps up just about equal to the de- 

 mand in most lines, but some articles are 

 short. Good red roses are very scarce 

 and American Beauties of first quality 

 are few and far between. There is a 

 heavy demand for all kinds of flowers 

 suitable for funeral work and consequent- 

 ly short-stemmed roses are scarce, Brides 

 especially so. 



Carnations are increasing in supply 

 daily, but still they sell well and none 

 go to waste. Valley is selling rather 

 slowly, but other bulbous flowers are do- 

 ing fairly well. Calla lilies are in espe- 

 cially good demand and more first-class 

 blooms could easily be sold. Tliere is a 

 good demand for Harrisii. Sprengeri has 

 been .selling exceedingly well of late and 

 the supply is scarcely a drop in the buck- 

 et. Smilax is going better. 



Notes. 



A severe storm visited this city la-t 

 Saturday night. Heavy wind accom- 

 panied by hail did considerable damage 

 to the various greenhouse plants, but 

 nothing that could not be repaired iir 

 fore any more serious loss "resulted. 



Theo. Bock will be in the city Satur- 

 day and act as judge for our rose show.

 their new rose. La Detroit, and it is 

 expected that all of the late introduc- 

 tions will be represented.

 Eeukauf. both of Philadelphia.

The intense cold which has prevailed 

 for two weeks has frozen up trade in 

 nearly every line except the fuel busi- 

 ness. Stock is not abundant, although 

 there is plenty to meet demands. Vio- 

 lets are more plentiful than they were. 

 Bulk stock is becoming quite plentiful.
