The Market. 



Business during the first two weeks of 

 March has been decidedly good, not- 

 withstanding the wintry weather and 

 the beginning of the Lenten season. 

 Both retailers and growers report that 

 the arrival of Lent has not affected 

 business as yet. Several rays of sun- 

 shine have improved the quality of flow- 

 ers and increased the supply. There is 

 an excellent demand for blooming 

 plants, especially Dorothy Perkins and 

 Crimson Rambler roses and all bulbous 

 stock. Cut roses are in much better 

 supply than a week ago. Especially is 

 this true of Shawyer, Russell, Richmond 

 and Ophelia. Carnations are exceeding- 

 ly plentiful. There is a fine lot of Eas- 

 ter lilies on the market. Callas are 

 plentiful; so are Spencer sweet peas, 

 which are in big demand. Freesias are 

 somewhat scarce. Violets are in fair 

 supply. Yellow primroses are among 

 the novelties on the market. Pansies 

 and yellow daisies are in good supply. 



Decorations for dances and teas 

 formed a large part of the business in 

 the last few days preceding Lent. Fu- 

 neral work also has been heavy, and 

 sales of spring flowers and potted plants 

 for the sick have been large. 



Various Notes. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey are cutting a 

 fine crop of Easter lilies and report that 

 business is not affected by Lent. 



The Doswell Floral Co. is cutting 

 some extra good rosea, especially Ophe- 

 lia. The firm's violets continue to 

 bloom prolifically and the Spencer sweet 

 pea crop is heavy. 



The Flick Floral Co. has been ex- 

 ceedingly busy with funeral work. The 

 firm also furnished the decorations for 

 an elaborate reception and dance. 



Mrs. Aaron Shive, of the Flick Floral 

 Co., has received word of the serious 

 illness of her sister. Miss Helen F. Pat- 

 ten, of the Patten Flower Store, Toledo, 

 O. Miss Patten is suffering from a 

 tumor and expects to submit to an oper- 

 ation within a few days. 



O. Henry Allen, county agent for the 

 U. S. Department of Agriculture, deliv- 

 ered an interesting lecture on "Field 

 Experiments ' ' before the Toledo College 

 Club, March 10. E. F.
