The Market. 



Prices before Memorial day were 

 practically stationary; they will soon 

 be back to the pre-war level. Carna- 

 tions, roses and sweet peas were plenti- 

 ful, but outdoor flowers were hard to 

 find, as they are coming on quite late 

 this season. Irises were plentiful for 

 Memorial day, also spiraea and hydran- 

 gea blooms. Irises sold at $1 and $1.50, 

 carnations $1.50, roses $3 and up. Sweet 

 peas were plentiful and brought $1 per 

 bunch retail; these were large bunches 

 of long-stemmed orchid peas and were 

 BO plentiful that many went to waste. 

 Many growers were disappointed with 

 their peonies. 



Magnolia wreaths were prepared in 

 advance for Memorial day in large 

 quantities. Since most flowers grown 

 by the people themselves are too late for 

 this day, large business was expected. 



Bedding plants were scarce last week 

 and many growers had sold out com- 

 pletely. Geraniums were retailing 

 at $3 per dozen, as compared with $1.50 

 a year ago. Other plants were equally 

 scarce and as high-priced. Many porch 

 boxes will be late getting filled this sum- 

 mer and some may go empty. Ferns for 

 designs have been scarce, but the south- 

 ern crop is coming in now; with this 

 handicap removed, the large amount of 

 funeral work is much easier to handle. 



Various Notes. 



The Miller wedding, at 72 Woodland 

 avenue, was the largest ever witnessed 

 in this city from the trade 's standpoint. 

 T. J. Ludwig had the decorations and 

 they were considered the most artistic 

 work done since stock has been avail- 

 able for such work. The altar, which 

 was of huckleberry, decorated "with 

 flowers and green, was in the living 

 room; it reached from floor to ceiling 

 and was about fifteen feet wide. The 

 light fixtures were masses of green and 

 the path of the wedding procession was 

 marked off by large wicker vase 

 baskets. These were filled with yellow 

 daisies and snapdragons. Numerous 

 other baskets of snapdragons, roses, 

 daisies and sweet peas were arranged in
