BUFFALO, N. Y. 



The Market. 



The supply was decidedly short last 

 week, especially in carnations, which 

 are held second to lilies for such work 

 as garlands, and they prove by far the 

 most satisfactory flower in second-class 

 funeral work. Due to the steady high 

 prices and short supply of this flower 

 since December, the "cheap" grade of 

 funeral work has boycotted them for 

 waxed paper stock, which is being used 

 to a surprising extent. It is agreed 

 even by the users that making up de- 

 signs with this sort of stock is revolt- 

 ing to good taste and to the spirit in 

 which they are sent, but what can be 

 made up for $10? There is a big class 

 of trade which demands a good-sized 

 standing design for this price and wants 

 it done with stock brighter than galax. 

 During the whole of last week every- 

 body was loaded down with funeral 

 work and flowers would have demanded 

 much higher prices, had not so many 

 users of wax stock kept away from the 

 market. 



The steady high prices are developing 

 an unfavorable condition in this mar- 

 ket. In the case ,of roses, there is a 

 limited amount of jtrade which will pay 

 over $4 per dozen ror them. This grade 

 is classed first and wholesales for $1.80. 

 If it is a little better stock it whole- 

 sales for $2.40 and retails for $6, which 

 is about the limit with most stores in 

 this city. The better grades are not in 

 demand, the demand being greatest for 

 the cheapest grades. The prices run: 

 Shorts $12, seconds $15, firsts $20, spe- 

 cials $25 and extras $30. The shipments 

 are not listing "shorts" any longer and 

 in many cases the grade "second" is 

 eliminated. These same grades have 

 graduated to "firsts" and "selects." 



The growers who retain their old-time 

 individual pride and who will not take 

 a chance in running in a few cripples 

 among their best stock are well repaid. 

 Their stock is sold at highest prices 

 and sells before any other whether it 

 is a time of plenty or not. A steady, 

 reliable grower is always well taken 

 care of.

Mention Th» Review when you wrtt» 



The newspapers are giving us some 

 real pointers. In their trade notes they 

 say that this country uses $2,000,000 

 worth of bulbs every year, but has never 

 produced over $25,000 worth in any one 

 year. The reason for this situation, 

 states the United States Department of 

 Agriculture, is that it has always been 

 thought that the bulbs could be bought 

 cheaper than they could be grown. In 

 the future, however, conditions are go- 

 ing to be different, and the department 



has issued a bulletin on "Commercial 

 Dutch Bulb Culture in the United 

 States." If the project grows, it adds, 

 it will enable grocers to add bulbs to 

 their stock as a side line. F. P. A. 



Grand Junction, Colo. — The J. W. 



Watson Nursery Co. has built a new 

 range of glass, of which Herman E. A. 

 Wolff, formerly employed by the Pikes 

 Peak Floral Co., Colorado Springs, is 

 in charge.
