The Market. 



Trade during the last two weeks and 

 up to ash Wednesday was almost all that 

 could be desired. The demand was good 

 aud, although we heard complaints of an 

 oversupply of bulbous stock, yet that was 

 riot the fault of the market. This was 

 the fault of the growers themselves, who 

 overestimated the demand, and more 

 bulb stock was forced in than the market 

 at its best could consume. Roses have 

 been fairly scarce, especially good stock. 

 In carnations the supply of good stock 

 about equals the demand, while the in- 

 ferior grades have to hunt a purchaser. 

 Since Lent began we have noticed a slack- 

 ening of demand, and the supply does not 

 seem to take the hint to hold up accord- 

 ingly. However, at the time of writing, 

 prospects point to a good week 's business. 



The severe weather has played havoc 

 with the wholesale shipping business and 

 the large retailers have felt it consider- 

 ably, as well. Throughout Ontario dur- 

 ing the last two or three weeks the ex- 

 press companies were backward about ac- 

 cepting perishable goods. 



A Freeze Out. 



We are sorry to have to report a very 

 disastrous freeze-out with the Georgetown 

 Floral Co., of Georgetown. This is a new 

 concern, which took over the business of 

 the Floral View Greenhouses and built 

 a new plant last summer. It was con- 

 sidered one of the most up-to-date green- 

 house plants to be found anywhere. Dur- 

 ing the night of February 15, with the 

 temperature below zero and a stiff wind 

 blowing, one pair of boilers sprung a 

 leak. This left the whole strain on the 

 other pair of boilers. The heavy firing 

 in the endeavor to keep frost out was 

 too much for them and before morning 

 they gave out, leaving the whole plant 

 without steam for some four or five hours, 

 until repairs were made. During this 

 time the temperature fell to about 18 

 degrees. 



D. J. Sinclair, who has been at Preston 

 Sulphur Springs for the past two weeks, 

 has returned home much improved.
