The Market. 



Business was exceedingly good last 

 week on account of the "Dress Up" 

 movement, which was widely adver- 

 tised in this city, not only by the de- 

 partment stores but also by many of 

 the retail florists. Corsages were a 

 specialty and popular-priced cut flowers 

 and blooming plants were heavily ad- 

 vertised. The results were satisfying. 

 The majority of the flower shops bad 

 attractive window decorations for the 

 occasion. 



The sunshine last week brought quan- 

 tities of flowers of good quality. Roses 

 are more abundant than they have been 

 for months. This is especially true of 

 Shawyer, Russell, Killarney, Rhea 

 Rheid, Ophelia and Sunburst. Killar- 

 ney are in splendid color at present. 

 Carnations are quite abundant and of 

 excellent quality. Some handsome snap- 

 dragons are being shown on the mar- 

 ket. Violets are becoming scarce. 

 Spring flowers are plentiful and meet 



with a brisk demand. Poeticus nar- 

 cissi, yellow, red and white tulips, 

 Dutch hyacinths, jonquils and freesias 

 are the best on the market at present. 

 Many spring openings last week called 

 for elaborate decorations. Aside from 

 this demand, there was a liberal quan- 

 tity of funeral work. During the 

 month of March business was excep- 

 tionally good, notwithstanding the ad- 

 vent of the Lenten season, and it com- 

 pares favorably with the preceding 

 months of the year, and far surpasses 

 the volume of business for March, 1915. 

 The growers are busy bringing their 

 blooming plants into the greenhouses 

 from the coldframes and preparing for 

 the Easter trade. 



Various Notes. 



F. J. Knecht & Co. are shipping a 

 large cut of Shawyer and Russell roses, 

 as well as supplying the local market. 



A. J. Lantemier & Co. had a fine 

 window display during Dress Up week, 

 and as they are located on the main 

 thoroughfare their store attracted con- 

 siderable attention.

The Flick Floral Co. had the decora- 

 tions for a large department store 

 spring opening last week, in which 

 thousands of spring flowers and roses 

 were used. Many plants were effec- 

 tively grouped. This concern advertised 

 special sales during the week. B. F.
