The Market. 



There was a splendid supply of cut 

 flowers on hand for Mothers' day trade. 

 Snapdragons and roses were in abundant 

 supply and of good quality. Sweet peas, 

 carnations, calendulas, marguerites, pan- 

 sies, violets, lilacs, callas, etc., also were 

 offered. The local florists were prepared 

 for a large trade, but one of the worst 

 rain storms of the season struck Bridge- 

 port the day before Mothers' day and 

 this hurt business to a great extent. 

 There were telephone orders, but coun- 

 ter trade was poor. Among the potted 

 plants were cinerarias, spiraeas, hydran- 

 geas, geraniums, mountain daisies, etc. 

 Prices had dropped somewhat from those 

 asked at Easter time, but had advanced 

 again for Mothers' day. 



Weddings during the last few weeks 

 called for many flowers. Funeral work 

 also created a demand. 



Various Notes. 



Many war gardens are being planted 

 again this year, which call for quanti- 

 ties of seeds and vegetable plants. 

 There is a splendid lot of bedding plants 

 on hand at the various greenhouses, but 

 there has not been' much demand for

Orders filled promptly. Write for price list.

them yet, as the weather has been cold. 

 Some of the florists report that the or- 

 ders they have booked are smaller than 

 last year. People are buying fewer 

 geraniums, etc., because they object to 

 the high prices. 



The beds of tulips at the city hall 

 green and on Broad street are in their 

 prime and make a splendid showing. 

 They look better this year than they 

 ever did before.
