The Market. 



On account of the bad weather last 

 week, the florists' business in Newark 

 and vicinity was slow. One of the 

 hardest snow storms of the season came 

 the first of the week and others fol- 

 lowed. This prevented people getting 

 out to shop and curtailed sales, except- 

 ing those of funeral pieces. Even in 

 that item there was a loss. The dark, 

 cloudy days checked the development 

 of flowers, causing a slight scarcity in 

 many kinds and holding the prices a 

 little above those of a few weeks ago. 

 The least affected was the bulbous 

 stock. This has been arriving in such 

 large quantities that it can be pur- 

 chased at a decidedly reasonable price. 

 Orchids have taken a jump of late from 

 the low price at which they had been 

 selling earlier in the season. Fine calla 

 lilies are coming into the market now. 

 Now that (Lent has begun, the florists 

 do not expect much work from society 

 events. The average business since the 

 first of the year has been unusually 

 good, however. 



Various Notes. 



H. C. Strobell & Co. report business 

 quiet at the present time. Automobiles 

 and movies are said to have made con- 

 siderable inroads on the florists' busi- 

 ness here. 



H. A. Strobell says business was fair 

 last week, but not quite up to what it 

 was several weeks before. There is 

 considerable funeral work. 



Fred P. Wolfinger states that business 

 continues to be good with him. He has 

 had four blankets to make within a 

 few days, besides much other funeral 

 work. 



Lyman B. Coddington, of New Provi- 

 dence, denies that twenty men employed 

 at his greenhouses have gone on strike, 

 though the men are not working and 

 state that they have struck for an in- 

 crease in pay. They have been receiv- 

 ing $1.50 per day. 



J. F. Noll & Co. report that the seed 

 business is starting in well and that 

 it appears as if the coming season would 

 be a good one. There is some trouble 

 in getting shipments from Europe. Some 

 of the consignments have come through, 

 but others have been held up. 



Charles Trauth states that he con- 

 tinues to be rushed with funeral work, 

 the last few months this class of work 

 having been far above the average.
