The Market. 



Trade last week was brisk, owing to^' 

 the large quantity of funeral work. 

 Cut flowers have been plentiful, but 

 not in oversupply. Boses ar.e in good 

 supply, especially in the finer grades 

 of Shawyer, Eussell, Ophelia and Kil- 

 larney. The smaller varieties of roses 

 sell well for corsages, which are in 

 good demand. 



Carnations are quite plentiful, es- 

 pecially in pink and red, the white 

 having been picked closely for St. Pat- 

 rick 's day. Longiflorum lilies are in 

 fine supply and move rapidly for fu- 

 neral work. Valley is scarce, but the 

 demand is not good at present. Sweet 

 peas, primarily the Spencer varieties, 

 are abundant. Violets, especially the 

 singles, are plentiful. The quality of 

 bulbous stock is fine. Dutch hyacinths, 

 daffodils and single and double tulips 

 sell especially well. Some fine Charles 

 X lilacs are again on the market. 

 Rambler rose plants move at a brisk 

 rate, and spiraea and Pink Pearl rho- 

 dodendrons are favorites. There are 

 a few azaleas in the market at pres- 

 ent. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Catherine Vesey, attending col- 

 lege at Delaware, O., is at home for 

 the spring holidays. 



The Flick Floral Co. had many hand- 

 some floral pieces for a large funeral 

 last week. Among IJie pieces was a 

 handsome casket cover composed of 

 longiflorum lilies and Shawyer roses. 

 A number of large standing wreaths 

 and other designs also were sent. 



Through misinformation it was 

 stated in these columns that Miss 

 Helen F. Patten, of the Patten Flower 

 Shop, Toledo, 0., was ill and intended 

 to have an operation.
