The Market. 



The scarcity of flowers is still the 

 leading factor in this market. This 

 week was expected to show more abun- 

 dant supply, but the blizzard and the 

 subsequent sub-zero weather were a se- 

 rious check to maturing crops. 



Last week was one of the best, from 

 the growers' point of view, that have 

 been recorded since Christmas. All 

 flowers sold quickly at good prices. The 

 quantity of stock was large and the 

 quality good. 



More roses would help considerably, 

 but with the bad weather and with 

 propagating in full swing the demand 

 cannot be met. Bulbous stock is in 

 good supply, with prices on a par with 

 more expensive stock. Heavy cuts of 

 calendulas and sweet peas have been 

 marketed each morning. Wallflowers, 

 pansies, myosotis, stocks, mignonette, 

 lilies of the valley, Bainbow freesias and 

 eupatoriums added variety. Violets 

 were in fair quantity, but not enough to 

 go around. 



St. Valentine's Day. 



Until the middle of last week, there 

 was an uncertainty about the supply of 

 stock for St. Valentine 's day. Prepara- 

 tions had been well-linder way to give 

 the day plenty of publicity and, as the 

 supply of flowers seemed to increase 

 heavily each da)y, the advertising com- 

 mittee cut loose with about 450 inches 

 of space in eight local papers. The well 

 framed cards in every flower store, the 

 valentine posters in prominent places 

 and the attractive advertisements in 

 the street cars gave no one a chance 

 to forget February 14. 



Without a doubt the day's sales were 

 the largest yet experienced by any re- 

 tailer for St. Valentine's day. Beports 

 from several downtown stores were that 

 the day was "a, regular little Easter" 

 and "far ahead of expectations." 

 February 14 was, however, a bad day 

 for deliveries. All day there was snow 

 driven by a gale and, before deliveries 

 were made, the thermometer registered 

 below zero. Bad weather did not keep
