Cut Flower Situation. 



The cut flower situiition during last 

 week presented some anomalous fea- 

 tures, more especially toward the end 

 of the week. The weather throughout 

 the time had been cold, generally 

 cloudy and unfavorable for the devel- 

 opment of cut flowers of any sort, al- 

 though there were apparently enough 

 to go around and some over, if one 

 may judge by the prices for which 

 some stock was sold at retail at times. 

 Yet in spite of apparent surplus and 

 bad weather business seemed to be 

 generally considered as fair, though 

 not heavy. 



On Saturday roses by local growers 

 were selling at from three to four 

 cents wholesale, while several stores 

 displayed staring signs announcing 

 rose sales at from, twenty-five to fifty 

 cents per dozen. And the fifty-cent 

 stock was not bad at all. 



On the markets various retailers 

 were scrambling for carnations, in 

 some cases paying retail prices — twen- 

 ty-five cents a dozen — with nothing at 

 all good for less than a cent and a 

 half, while in the stores pretty good 

 stock was selling at no very great ad- 

 vance upon the higher price above 

 mentioned. And nearly every grower 

 was short of stock. All of which 

 makes the situation seem decidedly 

 odd. 



Notes. 



The suit of L. .T. Leopold against 

 the correspondent of the American 

 I'^lorist. which suit has been pending 

 for some time, came to trial lately. 

 After a trial lasting a day and a half, 

 mostly consumed by legal arguments 

 and the witnesses for the defense, the 

 jury brought in a verdict for the de- 

 fendant. This disposes of the matter 

 finally, in all likelihood. 



The bowling club at its last meeting 

 had a very good attendance and some 

 good scores were made. NEMO.
