The Market. 



Stock is good and plentiful in the 

 market, -with the demand about the 

 same as a week ago. Prices have 

 dropped to a point where buyers al- 

 most dictate them. The shipping busi- 

 ness is holding up nicely. Boses, in- 

 cluding American Beauties, are in 

 large supply and are of good quality. 

 Carnations are more plentiful than they 

 have been for some time. Easter lilies 

 still are rather scarce. Many short 

 ones are coming in, but they are not 

 in the best of condition. Sweet peas 

 are in heavy supply, that is, so numer- 

 ous that it is utterly impossible to 

 move all of them, even at the rea- 

 sonable prices that prevail. Valley is 

 experiencing a slow market, while or- 

 chids do not move at all. A fair quan- 

 tity of small bulbous stock may be 

 had. Most of it is in excellent condi- 

 tion. Other offerings include callas, 

 snapdragon and mignonette. Leucothoe 

 is experiencing a temporary shortage. 



Various Notes.

 large call for hanging baskets.

More Profit In Flowers 



The sooner your cut flowers are marketed 

 the larger your profits. The display which 

 appeals will sell them. Every florist's experi- 

 ence confirms this statement. 



If it were possible for you to compare the value of 

 a refrigerator that really preserved with one that 

 wasted stock and ice you would be astonished at 

 the difference in dollars and cents during the year. 

 The poor refrigerator which may have cost less at the 

 start would show up mighty expensive in the end. 

 Be sure— safe— get a 



McCray Florists' 

 Refrigerator 



McCray construction is based on the most ad- 

 vanced scientific principles for proper refrigeration 

 and perfect preservation. 



Your delicate stock is kept at an even temperature of exactly the 

 right degree where freshly chilled air is constantly circulating. 



McCray Florist Refrigerators have beautiful plate glass doors and 

 sides which permit an inviting and attractive display of the flowers. 

 The compartments are of different dimensions to accommodate the 

 various lengths of stems. 



The outside woodwork may be had in any finish to conform with 

 your store's interior decoration and arrangement. The linings may 

 be secured in either bevel plate mirror or white enamel and are very 

 easy to clean. 



The florist business carries enough hazard without handicapping 

 your success with an inadequate refrigerator. Why not investigate a 

 McCray right now and get the whole McCray story.
