Miss Crowell, at one time a well 

 known florist of Atlantic City, died 

 recently at her home, 1512 Pacific ave- 

 nue. Miss Crowell, with her sister, 

 Miss Anna Crowell, did an excellent 

 business there until her retirement 

 about ten years ago.

 last week sent fine greenhouse-grown

The Market. 



As usual, there has come the reaction 

 that makes stock worth only what the 

 buyer chooses to offer. All kinds of 

 flowers, with the exception of orchids 

 and valley, are present in such abun- 

 dance that they completely strangle the 

 market. Prices have receded far below 

 actual worth, quality considered. 



Gardenias are for sale on the streets 

 at 10 cents each, and in some cases at 

 three for 25 cents. Of course, the best 

 stock is bringing $2 per dozen, but the 

 people content themselves with patron- 

 izing the fakers. Orchids are worth 

 their weight in gold; the price contin- 

 ues high, often $1.25 each at wholesale. 

 The scarcity of valley is marked, and 

 scrawny, small outdoor stock sold well 

 last week at $3 per hundred; last year 

 it went begging at 50 cents. Indoor 

 valley, what there is of it, moves rap- 

 idly at $6. One nearby grower has cut 

 his consignment forty per cent.
