 buyers found it i>08sible to get all the 

 accessories tliey thought they needed, 

 but it was noi so easy to buy cut flow- 

 ers. Many of them buy in this market 

 only in cases of pinch and wholesalers 

 were not found anxious to obligate 

 themselves ahead of ascertaining the re- 

 quirements of their regular customers; 

 they were willing to take orders sub- 

 ject to their ability to fill them at mar- 

 ket prices, but that was not what the 

 buyers wanted. 



Toronto, a city not frequently repre- 

 sented among the visiting buyers here, 

 sent George M. Geraghty, of Dunlop's, 

 and J. J. Higgins, a rising young re- 

 tailer. They were ready to buy any- 

 thing that seemed useful, but were 

 principally in quest of baskets, which 

 have not been admitted to Canada dur- 

 ing the last year. 



Miss Kate Harris, of the Flower Shop, 

 Memphis, paid her usual preholiday visit 

 to the market last week. She says busi- 

 ness never was better at Memphis. 



Paul M. Palez, of Little Eock, Ark., 

 was here for several days. 



G. P. Weaklen, of the firm which bears 

 his name at Pittsburgh, Pa., visited this 

 market the end of last week. 



E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., called 

 on all of his friends in the market while 

 here last week.
