 up-to-date delicatessen and flower shops 

 to be found in the west. The location 

 is ideal and the amount of business 

 done is surprising.

 of late. He has had a large amount of 

 funeral work and also a heavy run on 

 potted plants.

The Market. 



The St. Patrick's day business was 

 profitable to the Newark florists, there 

 being a large demand for green carna- 

 tions, tulips, jonquils, sweet peas and 

 roses. White flowers suitable for color- 

 ing green sold at high prices in the 

 New York market for several days 

 previous to St. Patrick 's day. White 

 carnations brought $6 per hundred 

 wholesale and other white flowers were 

 corresponding^^ high. Real shamrocks 

 in small pots and clay pipes sold in 

 large numbers. Roses were cheaper 

 during the last ten days than for a 

 long time. The favorites seem to be 

 Beauty, Stanley, Ophelia, Sunburst and

Mock. Violets now coming into the 

 market are generally of good quality 

 and sell at reasonable prices. Valley 

 is plentiful, of good quality and reason- 

 able in price. Sweet peas are in good 

 demand and cheap. Easter lilies of 

 excellent quality are selling at a me- 

 dium price. The quality of daffodils 

 is better than that of last year and the 

 price of these keeps up well. Tulips are 

 I of fine quality, but the demand, while

 seem to take the best. There continues 

 to be much funeral work but there is 

 a lull in other work, owing largely to 

 Lent. The florists are expecting a fine 

 Easter trade.
