The Market. 



Business continues on the upward 

 grade most of the time. We have had 

 two or three rather quiet days, but the 

 remainder of the time we have been 

 busy indeed. Social functions have been 

 many, and the demand for all sorts of 

 decorations has been large. Flowers, 

 fortunately, have been more plentiful 

 and prices are reaching their normal con- 

 dition. The weather has been cold and 

 the greehouscmen have been exceedingly 

 active in keeping the fires going con- 

 tinually at full blast. 



Stock arrives in fair condition and 

 moves favorably. A good supply was 

 predicted for St. Valentine's day, and 

 greater business tlian ever before was 

 looked for on that day. Roses are in 

 fine shape and good sliipments of Sun- 

 burst, Montrose, White Killarney, Mary- 

 land and Stanley supply all demands. 

 There is, however, a small supply of 

 short-stemmed stock, many of which are 

 needed for design work. The carnation 

 crop has been somewhat heavier this 

 week and prices have become easier. 

 Easter lilies and callas are not coming 

 along fast, but, then, the demand is not 

 extra large. 



There is a splendid supply of bulbous 

 flowers, including jonquils and Paper 

 Whites. Tulips sell well and the demand 

 for sweet peas is large. Violets have 

 sold more easily this week. Orchids 

 and gardenias arc in good shape and sell 

 well. Valley moves quite slowly. Most 

 of the stores have been considerably 

 handicapped several days this week on 

 account of the scarcity of plumosus, 

 which has arrived from the south in a 

 frozen condition.
