The Market. 



The wholesale market was better sup- 

 plied with flowers last week than has 

 been the rule recently. There was no 

 surplus on the market of any variety 

 of flower or plant; in fact, in many lines 

 the supply was just about equal to the 

 demand. Roses were in better supply, 

 and there was a noticeable increase in 

 the supply of Russells. Killarneys, how- 

 ever, are more plentiful than any other 

 variety. Miniature roses are in excel- 

 lent demand, particularly for corsages. 

 Few American Beauties are shown and 

 they command top-notch prices. Carna- 

 tion receipts are larger, but they do not 

 take care of the demand. There are 

 plenty of JSpencer sweet peas. Calla 

 lilies are quite plentiful, but there is no 

 surplus. Easter lilies are arriving in 

 fair condition, but the supply is not 

 large. Some fine snapdragons and calen- 

 dulas are seen in the stores. Bulbous 

 stock is exceptionally fine this year. 

 Cattleyas and violets are in good supply 

 and are selling well for corsage work. 

 Daisies, forget-me-nots, mignonette and 

 other small flowers are quickly bought 

 up. 



In the plant line^ many of the flower 

 stores are featuring handsome cineraria 

 plants, which bring $2 and $3 each. 

 The demand during the first week of 

 Lent has surpassed all records. Funeral 

 work was tremendous, especially during 

 the latter part of the week. Asparagus 

 and all kinds of greens are scarce. 

 Various Notes. 



The Flick Floral Co. had the decora- 

 tions for the Wolf & Dessauer depart- 

 ment store opening March 10. Lilies, 

 lilacs and Eussell roses were used, with 

 many baskets of spring flowers and hun- 

 dreds of foliage and flowering plants. 



Adolph Jaenicke, jiark superintendent, 

 is giving a series of lectures in this city 

 on the care of the flower garden and the 

 culture of shrubs and hedge plants. A 

 number of articles, written by him, are 

 appearing in one of the daily papers. 



Cinerarias are boinjr featured by A. J. 

 Lanternier & Sons in their downtown 

 shop. 



Mrs. Minnie Soest, of tlie force of the 

 Flick Floral Co., wlio has been absent 

 from the store for some weeks on ac- 

 . count of illness, has returned to her 

 work. 



A large number of baskets and bou- 

 quets of roses and spring flowers were 

 sent to the opening of Ihe Wolf & Des- 

 sauer department store from the Edgar 

 C. Wenninghoff flower store, and many 

 out-of-town orders have been received. 

 Mr. Wenninghoff" has a fine assortment 

 «f hyaci)itlis, tulips and cinerarias.
