The lAarket. 



business was exceptionalljT good for 

 the week ending with Palm Sunday. 

 The weather was fine and the stock 

 wfts in excellent shape. Eosea were 

 plentiful and this kept prices below 

 normal. Carnations, however, were not 

 ini sufficient quantity to meet the de- 

 mand and pricesfj^owed. a niM increase 

 over those of the week previous. This' 

 stock is in fine shape, but few growers 

 are on crop and the supply will be lim- 

 ited for Easter. Prices probably will 

 hold firm at $5, and from the orders 

 booked it can be seen that the late 

 orders are going to run short. There 

 is a fine rose stock on the market, but 

 carnations seem to have the preference 

 and the roses are not moving as well 

 as they should. The large quantity 

 makes it a buyers' market and, with 

 the exception of fancy stock, good bar- 

 gains are easily obtainable. 



Violets and sweet peas will be in 

 good shape for Easter. The stock seem* 

 plentiful enough to supply the demand, 

 which is large, considering the late- 

 ness of the occasion. Single violets 

 are out of the market and all orders 

 for them are filled with good double 

 stock. Violet prices are not so good, 

 but sweet peas are holding up well. 

 Bulbous stock will be obtainable for 

 the Easter trade and it still is in fairly 

 good condition. It will not last much 

 after Easter, but the supply is really 

 remarkable, considering the lateness of 

 the season. 



Plant sales are enormous. The stock 

 is extra fine this year and almost all 

 of it sells itself when it is personally 

 inspected. If reports are authentic, 

 this is going to be an Easter business 

 that will set a new standard for the 

 tiHde and make them go some next 

 year to keep up to it. 



r Various Notes. 



The Milwaukee Florists' Club at a 

 recent meeting appointed a committee 

 to take up the matter of united adver- 

 tising. The committee is going into 

 the matter thoroughly and has high 

 hopes of bringing its work to a suc- 

 cessful conclusion in the near future.
