The Market. 



Good stock is still scarce, but the 

 new-crop carnations are helping the sit- 

 uation a little. There is no trouble in 

 getting plenty of stock fit for funeral 

 pieces and immediately use for decora- 

 tion, but the stock fit for loAg-distance 

 shipping takes some looking for. Fu- 

 neral work has kept up well, many fine 

 pieces being made during the week, but 

 it is still the rule with many retailers 

 to send out their pieces by boys on bi- 

 cycles. If they could see the condi- 

 tion the pieces often arrive in, they 

 would probably change their methods. 



Among the more showy outdoor flow- 

 ers this week is the light blue Delphin- 

 ium Belladonna, a fine thing for deco-

rations. Gladioli are at their best and 

 are among the most satisfactory flowers 

 for shipping now. Dahlias are becom- 

 ing more plentiful and a few early as- 

 ters are seen, but the time of the latter 

 is not yet. Many pretty window effects 

 have been worked out in yellow and 

 blue, using delphiniums, cornflowers, 

 etc., in conjunction with yellow annuals, 

 chrysanthemums, marigolds and others. 

 The market for greens is good and there 

 is none going to waste. Ferns and palms 

 are in good demand.
