The Market. 



Business continued to be brisk last 

 week. Weddings and funerals created 

 a lively demand for flowers and Tues- 

 day a large banquet called for numer- 

 ous table decorations and corsages. The 

 latter part of the week the weather 

 became hot and orders came in thick 

 and fast for boxwoods, shrubs, etc. Cut 

 flowers are in plentiful supply. Roses 

 in all grades are in full supply and the 

 warm weather is expected to increase 

 the supply greatly. Carnations are in 

 good supply and prices hold up well, 

 with Mothers' day almost here. Local 

 growers say they will have a good crop 

 of carnations for May 14. American 

 Beauties are scarce and hard to obtain, 

 but the demand is light. Orchids arc 

 short. Valley was in better supply 

 than the week previous, the demand be- 

 ing good. Snapdragons continue plen- 

 tiful and are used in decorative work 

 and funeral sprays. Sweet peas are in 

 large supply in the Spencer varieties 

 and sell extremely well. Bulbous stock 

 is of the past for this season. Spanish 

 iris is not plentiful as yet and is 

 cleaned up each day. Violets are over 

 for the season. Daisies and marguer- 

 ites are plentiful, as well as pansies 

 and forgpt-nie-nots. Easter lilies and 

 callas still come into the market in 

 large quantities. 



The demand for Mothers' day is ex- 

 pected to be good, as florists have ad- 

 vertised the day. Business for the 

 month of April exceeded all expecta- 

 tions. Although the weather was de- 

 cidedly unfavorable, it seemed to have 

 little effect on the florists' business, 

 either before or after Easter, while 

 the Easter holiday business was the 

 best of years. 



Various Notes. 



Visitors last week were Harold Lion, 

 of Lion & Co., New York; F. W. Tre- 

 dup, representing the A. L. Randall Co., 

 Chicago; B. Rosenbaum, of Wertheimer 

 Bros., New York. 



Thirty students of agriculture at Pur- 

 due University, of La Fayette, Ind., vis- 

 ited the various greenhouses in this 

 city May 8. 



The Roebuck Greenhouses, southwest 

 of the city, on the Bluffton road, are 

 sending some fine Spencer sweet peas 

 to the local market. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey report business 

 good since Easter. They are cutting 

 some splendid orchids ' and Shawyer, 

 Ophelia, Sunburst, Killarney and Rich- 

 mond roses, but have not nearly enough 

 to supply the demand. They have or- 

 ders that were booked at Christmas 

 time for Mothers' day by patrons who
