The Market. 



Although preparations had started for 

 Mothers' day a week prior to the event, 

 there were not nearly enough carna- 

 tions for the occasion. As oth«r flowers 

 were substituted, they also cleared read- 

 ily. Beauties were a little more abun- 

 dant than in the previous week, but, 

 although the quality was not extra 

 good, they sold with no difficulty. Other 

 varieties of roses also cleared rapidly. 

 On Saturday night at the wholesalers' 

 closing time there was little more stock 

 to be had, with the exception of a few 

 daisies and some lilies. Carnations, as 

 was expected, were extremely scarce. 

 Peonies, however, have returned. Easter 

 lilies were plentiful and the demand 

 was rather slow. Callas were not so 

 abundant and they continued to clear 

 fairly well. Sweet peas were as popu- 

 lar as anything for corsages. They, too, 

 experienced a great demand. Snapdrag- 

 ons could be had, but were mostly in- 

 ferior in quality. Daisies were plenti- 

 ful, but the demand was irregular. 

 Calendulas, mignonette and myosotis 

 were available in moderate quantities. 

 Valley and orchids were on the scarce 

 side. 



Jonquils and daffodils are done for. 

 The indoor stock is a thing of the past, 

 while the outdoor output is poor. Good 

 gardenias are available and the demand 

 is active. Spanish iris is always in 

 great demand, but the supply is not 

 large as yet. Pansies are selling well. 

 Gladioli are clearing daily. Greens of 

 all kinds are available, with the excep- 

 tion of smilax, which has been scarce 

 for the last three weeks. 



"Sold out," was the Mothers' day 

 plea from the growers to the whole- 

 salers. Everything went along nicely 

 as long as the carnations lasted, but 

 these were sold out early Sunday morn- 

 ing and then the demand turned to 

 sweet peas and roses. As the supply of 

 those was none too large, they also 

 were sold out soon. The last resort was 

 gardenias. The price of these was a 

 trifle more than the average customer 

 cared to spend, but toward the last 

 there was no hesitation even about 

 them. In fact, all kinds of cut flowers

were sold out. Then it was a case of 

 pushing the plants, which was done with 

 little diflBculty. 



It is evident that the business for 

 Mothers' day is increasing yearly and 

 better preparation must be made in 

 order to supply the public desire. 



Various Notes. 



E. J. Fancourt was a recent visitor to 

 Buffalo. He reports that business is ex- 

 cellent. 



Jerry Brookins was kept on the jump 

 all last week, picking sweet peas and 

 getting them ready for the market. His 

 daily picking averages high in the thou- 

 sands. A. E.
