 attention to the window, as the accom-

 their window, although one of the best 

 in construction, shall not lack suitable 

 decorations.

The Market. 



The market continues to be fair. It 

 is not _possible, as yet, to make ship- 

 ments to all jioints by express, but con- 

 ditions ajipear to be improving. As far 

 as the cut Hower ncirket is concerned, 

 stock in general appears to be fairly 

 ])lentiful, the quality keeping up re- 

 markably well. There is a heavy sup- 

 ply of Plaster lilies on hand, which, un- 

 fortunately, do not move as rapidly as 

 might be wished for. The daily ship- 

 ments of roses are meeting all demands 

 and include excellent stock. Ophelia, 

 which is of excellent color just now, 

 sells well. Columbia, Hoosier Beauty, 

 Sunburst, Ward, Killarney, Premier. 

 Maryland and Martinet are included in 

 the offerings. Snapdragons are in fair 

 supply and of good (piality. They sell 

 readily. Carnations are coming into 

 their own again. 



Everything available for Mothers' 

 day was cut and scarcely anything was 

 in sight for a few days afterward. The 

 supply of sweet peas keejis up well and 

 excellent stock is seen, for which there 

 is a good demand. Bulbous stock is 

 ])ractically over now and only outdoor 

 stork is seen. Calendulas are in gooil 

 demand and sell at fair prices. Yellow 

 daisies are quite plentiful, with a 

 medium sale. Mignonette, forget-me- 

 nots, cut pritnrosps and other flowers 



are all in good demand. There is a 

 good supply of palms, rubber plants, 

 ferns, etc., on hand and sales continue 

 to be good. Cut greens are fairly plen- 

 tiful and sell well, the demand being 

 about usual. 



Much disapi»oiutment and anxiety are 

 being felt by a great number of the 

 growers at the continued cold and dull 

 weather experienced in this locality. 

 About two good days of warm weather 

 is all we have had since before Easter. 



Greenhouses in which bedding stock 

 is grown each year are filled to their 

 limit and, according to reports from 

 several growers, stock will be spoiled if 

 not moved soon. Scarcely any beddinir 

 work has been done as yet and, although 

 the stores are showing good stock, little 

 is moving.
