The Market. 



The condition of the market has 

 changed considerably. Cut flowers are 

 plentiful; in fact, the supply far ex- 

 ceeds the demand. Business last week 

 was good. Eoses are plentiful and 

 some varieties are being sold as low as 

 $4 per hundred. There was a heavy 

 demand for tulips and jonquils. A 

 glut of bulbous stock is expected this 

 week. Freesias are gaining in favor, 

 especially for use in boxes of cut flow- 

 ers. Sweet peas are of excellent qual- 

 ity, but the supply is too large for 

 market needs. The same may be said 

 of violets. Some fine double violets 

 were sold at an extremely low price 

 February 26. Carnations of every color 

 are in large supply. Prices on these 

 have declined. Although Easter lilies 

 are plentiful, they still bring a fair 

 price. Snapdragons and other miscel- 

 laneous stock are in heavy supply. 

 Paper Whites are clearing well, but the 

 supply is somewhat small. 



Various Notes. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. displayed 

 some well grown bougainvilleas last 

 week. Butterfly sweet peas arranged 

 in different styles were a feature of the 

 window display. This concern reports 

 a heavy run of funeral work. 



A. F. Barbe will start the erection 

 of his new range of houses March 10. 

 He now is busy filling his old houses 

 with spring stock. 



The Eosery is showing some espe- 

 cially well grown bulbous stock in pans, 

 of which a large quantity is being 

 sold. 



W. J. Barnes has excellent rhododen- 

 drons, cinerarias and spirseas in bloom 

 and finds a ready sale for this kind of 

 stock. 



Mrs. R. E. Everett, of Pawhuska, 

 Okla., was here last week buying sup- 

 plies. She reports business satisfac- 

 tory. 



The Alpha Floral Co. last week was 

 busy both day and night on funeral 

 orders. A large order for wirework was 

 placed by this company with a local 

 wholesale house. 



Biedermann & Son are busy filling 

 their greenhouses with spring stock. 

 They report business good, 



T. J. Noll & Co. report stock of all 

 kinds plentiful. The demand for sup- 

 plies has increased so fast that addi- 

 tions to the force were necessary, 



Arthur Newell reports the best week 

 of funeral work he has had since he 

 started in business. 



Mr. Nugent, of the Stuppy Floral 

 Co., St. Joseph, Mo., was a visitor last 

 week. W. J. B.
