Tbe Market. 



Business conditions are suflEering a 

 relapse. An increased supply of stock 

 is coming in and, as the demand is light, 

 prices have fallen off considerably. The 

 street boys bought up large quantities 

 of roses April 29 and, as the weather 

 was good, they moved the best part of 

 them. Carnations have not suffered so 

 much as some other stock as regards 

 price. Peas, owing to the wanner 

 weather, are rather short in stem. Some 

 few lUacs are coming in and they will 

 be in full crop next week. 



The advent of warm weather has 

 started the bedding plant season and, 

 following on the heels of a late Easter, 

 many growers are unprepared. As the 

 majority sold all blooming plants at 

 Easter, the quantity of available stock 

 is none too large. 



Various Notes. 



Visitors last week included J. J. 

 Goudy, of Dreer's; Cha«. E. Meehan, 

 P. J. Michell, I. Rosnosky and Sidney 

 Bayersdorfer, all of Philadelphia; Geo. 

 Hermann and Geo. W. Strange, of New 

 York. W.F.E.

The Market. 



The warmer weather has increased 

 the production of stock of all kinds, 

 but sales continue good and fair prices 

 prevail. There is a glut of Easter lilies 

 and these are being sold at the buyer's 

 own price. This also applies to calla 

 lilies. 



Orders from northern points are aid- 

 ing in the movement of lilac, which is 

 coming in profusion. There also is a 

 good sale for apple, flowering almond, 

 cherry and peach blossoms, which are 

 being used in decorations. Their sale 

 this year is larger than usual and as a 

 result the greenhouse products are suf- 

 fering to a marked extent. Yellow and 

 white marguerites are plentiful and are 

 in good demand. 



The local market is relieved of the 

 supply of daffodils, jonquils and tulips 

 and violets also are off the market. 

 Sweet peas are fine and sell well, hold- 

 ing their price of $2 per hundred. 

 Orchids are scarce and although the 

 price of 60 cents each is quoted, there 

 were a number of instances last week 

 where as high as $1.25 each was ob- 

 tained and the retailer was glad to get 

 them at that price. Gardenias are mov- 

 ing in quantities at from $2 to $3 per 

 dozen. 



American Beauty roses are overplen- 

 tiful and the price has fallen to $2 and 

 $4 per dozen. Carnations are plentiful

 * Houses are all so closely connected 

 that the sale of the latter can readily be 

 made in combination with Flowers and Plants, 

 as also for ornaments for Gardens and 

 Summer Homes.

HAPPY BIRD HOME HOUSES 



I took up the manufacture of Bird Houses some time 

 ago, and because other retail florists throughout the 

 country have sent me many orders and inquiries I have 

 gone into the making of bird houses in still larger quan- 

 tity to supply the demand, and now have a splendid line 

 to select from.
