 This concern is also having a heavy run 

 on funeral work. 



A. J. Lanternier & Sons are having 

 a heavy sale of blooming plants. They 

 are showing the first Dutch hyacinths 

 of the season. Funeral work has been 

 unusually heavy. 



Miss Marguerite Flick, of the Flick 

 Floral Co., will leave within a few days 

 for Detroit on a business trip. She will 

 be gone about a week or ten days. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey had charge of 

 the elaborate decorations for the annual 

 banquet of the S. F. Bowser Co. Covers 

 were laid for 500 persons, and the deco- 

 rations were baskets of Shawyer roses 

 and Enchantress carnations. This firm 

 also had charge of all the decorations 

 during the Bowser Oil Tank Co. con- 

 vention, which lasted one week. Judge 

 W. J. Vesey and daughter. Miss Cath- 

 erine Vesey, and Mr. and Mrs. Will J. 

 Vesey, Jr., will leave here the first part 

 of next week for Indianapolis to attend 

 the American Carnation Society conven- 

 tion. The firm will have on exhibition 

 a table of orchids. R. F.

The Market. 



Having recovered from the customary 

 after-holiday period of calm, business

 tivities on a larger scale and a higher 

 rate of mortality have combined to aug- 

 ment the demand for cut flowers. 



The bitterly cold weather that has 

 prevailed has heaped hardships on both 

 shippers and consignees; delayed ship- 

 ments from out-of-town points have 

 caused buyers unpleasant embarrass- 

 ments. 



Splendid roses now occupy the center 

 of the stage, with Ophelia leading the 

 offerings at $8 per hundred, although 

 Eichmond and Killarney are favorites 

 at the same price. These roses are in 

 large demand, and the call for Cecile 

 Brunner and other roses of like type 

 is urgent. Of the baby roses the yel- 

 lows are quoted at $2, while the better- 

 liked pinks command $3. Improved 

 carnations have been worth $3 per hun- 

 dred. 



Orchids remain among the things 

 scarce, and the prices continue steep. 

 Sweet peas are receiving more attention 

 by reason of their increased numbers, 

 but they as yet are not abundant. Their 

 larger blooms, longer stems, and here
