The Market. 



After a winter of scarcity, it is with a 

 feeling of relief that spring, with its 

 more bounteous supply, has been ushered 

 in. It is almost an adage that "busi- 

 ness is best when flowers are least." 

 At any rate, it has kept the tradesmen 

 guessing all winter how to make the 

 supply meet the demand. To keep be- 

 fore the people "Say It with Flowers" 

 and expect them to do it, the florist has 

 to have the wherewithal, and that par- 

 ticular language has been rather mono- 

 syllabic for some time. 



With spring comes a better outlook. 

 Bulbous stock is more ample. Hya- 

 cinths and jonquils are meeting require- 

 ments. Paper Whites, tulips, etc., are 

 equal to the demand. Eoses, although 

 in a little better supply, fall short of 

 requirements. Prices are stiff, ranging 

 from $6 to $35. Carnations have been 

 good sellers all winter at prices never 

 before attained. 



Spring baskets have been in attrac- 

 tive display. These contain bulbous 

 stock, calendulas, peas, pussy willows, 

 mignonette, pansies, violets, baby prim- 

 rose blossoms, myosotis, etc. Sweet peas 

 are the most popular of all and have 

 been in inadequate supply. If the 

 bright weather continues, this condition 

 will greatly improve. 



Funeral work has been in the fore- 

 ground and has kept the lilies all util- 

 ized. Callas sell well at $2 per dozen. 

 Easter lilies are not conspicuous. 



Potted plants are good property, sell- 

 ing almost as soon as they show color. 

 Cinerarias and bulbous stock are leaders 

 now, but primroses, cyclamens and bego- 

 nias are close on their heels. 



Plumosus is none too plentiful and 

 Sprengeri is not to be had. Fern leaves 

 are only fair in quality and sell at $4.50 

 per thousand.
