The Market. 



There has been a decided falling off in 

 funeral work locally in the last week, 

 but it cannot be said that the demand 

 for flowers has slumped. Whether due 

 to the peace negotiations, the end of the 

 influenza epidemic, or both, the florists 

 have noted a decided improvement in the 

 call for flowers for home decoration, cor- 

 sages and social uses generally, suffi- 

 cient to keep them busy. The stock 

 situation leaves nothing to be desired. 

 There are enough flowers for all require- 

 ments, but nothing is in oversupply, and 

 the average quality is good. Prices are 

 firm all along the line. Chrysanthemums 

 no longer dominate the market. The 

 downpour of rain early in the week 

 shortened up the receipts considerably, 

 but arrivals are heavier again the last 

 day or two, with the return of sunshine. 

 Bonnaffon is gone, leaving the market 

 short of good yellow mums, especially 

 medium-priced ones, as Appleton fills 

 the demand for large, fancy stock. 

 The rain helped the violets notice- 

 ably. The arrivals now show ex- 

 cellent quality and clean up closely, 

 the shipping demand being particularly 

 heavy. Boses were never better here 

 at this time of the year. There is 

 a splendid cut of Eussell, American 

 Beauties, Ophelia and many other varie- 

 ties, and each day sees the supply 

 cleaned up closely. Carnations are get- 

 ting more plentiful, but more good 

 blooms could be used. Cut poinsettias

made their appearance at the downtown 

 shops November 19, the supply coming 

 from the southern part of the state. The 

 flowers are as good as ajiy ever offered 

 here for the Thanksgiving trade. Or- 

 ders are being placed freely, as there is 

 no misgiving as to whether they will 

 clean up. Eed berries seem to be scarce 

 this year and the price is higher than 

 usual. Flowering plants are none too 

 plentiful either, although the nurseries 

 are beginning to send in some nice sea- 

 sonable specialties. Potted ferns prom- 

 ise to fill the gap nicely. Calla lilies 

 are welcome, the market having been 

 bare of lilies for many weeks. 



Various Notes. 



David Lichtenstein, the Terminal 

 Florist, located opposite the Ferry build- 

 ing, is back on duty after being ill for 

 a few days, during which time Mrs. 

 Lichtenstein looked after the business. 

 She admits she had her hands full, with 

 funeral work pouring in, help sick and 

 her husband ill. She is much relieved 

 to see conditions getting back to normal.

transient trade replacing funeral work

A. Figone, of Cohen & Figone, who 

 conduct the flower stand in the Ferry 

 building, returned recently from an ex- 

 tended trip to New York by automobile. 

 He was gone four months, having vis- 

 ited many nurseries and florists' estab- 

 lishments en route. Mr. Cohen says his 

 force worked hard to keep pace with 

 the funeral orders which poured in when 

 the "flu" epidemic was at its worst. 

 Now he is gratified to see the commuters 

 again showing interest in corsages, table 

 decorations, etc., thus breaking the mo- 

 notony and depressing effect of so much 

 funeral work. Antone Bachi, one of the 

 clerks at this establishment, has gone
