The Market. 



The demand for flowers is greater 

 than the supply at present and florists 

 are having a hard time filling the or-

 will be improved, on the appearance of 

 the early bulbous flowers. There is a 

 fair supply of potted plants, which help 

 out considerably for some occasions. 

 The main showing in flowers just now is 

 of violets, narcissi, freesias, sweet peas, 

 roses and carnations.

 business exceptionally good. Flowers 

 I have been insufficient to meet the de- 

 mand. The florists are experiencing a

 Funeral work has been exceptionally 

 heavy and cape flowers and magnolia 

 and galax leaves are much in evidence

 is considerably smaller than that of a

 south is also experiencing a shortage of 

 stock. But small flowers, such as free- 

 sias, daffodils, Paper Whites and Chinese 

 lilies, are plentiful. Carnations are 

 scarce. The local stock is of poor qual- 

 ity, but Portland shipments are arriv-
