Tlie Market. 



Last week was in every way satisfac- 

 tory to the grower who was able to cut 

 stock and to the retailer who had orders 

 for good flowers. The wholesaler had 

 his troubles making the supply reach 

 the round of regular customers and keep- 

 ing all satisfied. 



The quality of all flowers was excep- 

 tionally good; so few poor blooms ar- 

 rived that they were not noticeable. 

 Prices were not only high, but were 

 high and firm. 



Roses have been hard to distribute, 

 as there have not been enough to go 

 around. Sweet peas have nearly dou- 

 bled in supply, but fall far short of the 

 demand. Carnations have gone to $12 

 per hundred and there are none to spare. 

 Some Freesia Purity of fine quality finds 

 a ready market. Violets maintain their 

 price of $2 to $3 per hundred and move 

 well. 



Calendulas are in fair quantity now. 

 A limited supply of mignonette is avail- 

 able. Orchids alone have had a slump. 

 Some excellent flowers are quoted at 

 $7.50 to $12 per dozen. 



An unusual amount of funeral work 

 of late has caused the retailers some 

 concern in getting stock which was de- 

 veloped far enough to show well for the 

 money spent. In many instances tight 

 roses were used.

Various Notes. 



Milwaukee florists who visited the 

 carnation show in Chicago January 21 

 and 22 are quite enthusiastic over some 

 varieties shown. Perhaps Laddie and 

 Maine Sunshine herald a new era for the 

 carnation, in which quality and sub- 

 stance will have the predominance over 

 quantity in production.
