The Market. 



Preceding the Easter rush, business is 

 quiet, but lias been fair. "With few- 

 society functions and funerals, the week 

 has passed without much excitement or 

 work. This is good in one way. The 

 florists all over the city are at work 

 planning for the Easter trade. The 

 stores are being arranged so that every 

 space can be utilized. The growers are 

 also busy getting their stock ready for 

 their customers. 



Stock is coming in well. There are 

 still lots of bulbous stock in daffodils, 

 tulips, ]>oeticus and jon<inils. Prices 

 range about $2 for these. (Jood quality 

 roses are also coming in at ])rices from 

 $4 upward. Hichmond brings about $.H, 

 as does Ophelia, for which there is much 

 demand. 



Violets and forget-mo-nots are in the 

 market in good sujijily and have a steady 

 demand. Some fine jiurjde iris has been 

 displayed by the florists, l)ut there are 

 only a few and they are hard to get. 

 Some genistas and purple wistaria are 

 in the stocks of a few florists, but there 

 are only a few growers of these about 

 the city. I'lants are already coming in 

 for the Easter market. Primroses, be- 

 gonias and hydrangeas are in, but as 

 yet they are not ])leiitiful. 



Various Notes. 



The Lakewood cemetery greenhouses 

 have some fine crotons, receiving about 

 oOU from the east last week.

The Way We Handle Hybrid Roses for Spring Planting 



ALL OUR ROSES ARE 3 YEAR OLD, STRONG FIELD GROWN 



After two or three hard freezings, they are lifted, potted and plunged 

 in cold frames for the winter. They make good root action all winter and are 

 ready to do business in the spring. 



They should be shipped in pots. After March Lltli, they should carry 

 safely by freight.
