the retail stores. Mr. Armacost says 

 that he was greatly pleased with the 

 appearance of things generally in the 

 northern city and speaks with special 

 praise of the retail stores there. 



Albert Znojil, of the staff of S. Mu- 

 rata & Co., and formerly of Wright's 

 Flower Shop, has the sympathy of every- 

 one in the trade in the loss of his wife, 

 who died January 3. 



J. Wheldon, formerly with Payne's 

 Seed Store, is now with the Morris & 

 Snow Seed Co., and A. Webb, formerly 

 with the Germain Seed & Plant Co., 

 has joined Mr. Payne's force. 



Angelo Tassano, who is now the pro- 

 prietor of the Artesia Nurseries, at Ar- 

 tesia, is bringing in excellent double 

 peach and other fruit branches from 

 the acreage planted for this purpose to 

 the best varieties. His maidenhair fern 

 houses are also producing especially 

 good stock quite freely, while the bulb- 

 ous flowers, such as freesias and daffo- 

 dils, are coming well. 



The rain that came Thursday, Jan- 

 uary 22, was badly needed.

The Market. 



With the exception of roses, there 

 was a slight general reduction in cut 

 flower prices last week. Roses, how- 

 ever, continued high and hard to get in 

 sufficient quantity. The quality, too, 

 was not up to the standard of the last 

 month or so. The continued dry, cold 

 weather affected them to some extent 

 in spite of greenhouse cultivation and 

 the blooms did not have the perfection 

 of the early crop. Most of the growers 

 expect to have a fresh cut on soon, 

 that will be an improvement over the 

 present one. 



Carnations were more plentiful and 

 in good condition. The prices varied 

 considerably according to quality; for 

 instance, seconds were sold in tlio local 

 market as low as 20 cents per bunch, 

 while the choicer blooms brought as 

 much as 75 cents. 



Spring flowers are beginning to make 

 a real showing now. Freesias are par- 

 ticularly fine this year and fairly low in 

 price, takinfj into consideration the 

 quality of the blooms. They are grad- 

 ually growing more profuse, but are 

 cleaned out each day and both whole- 

 salers and shippers state that they 

 could use more of them. At the present 

 time retailers are using a great many
