The Market. 



The last few days of last week 

 brought a good increase in business. 

 However, conditions are far from satis- 

 factory for this time of the year. Busi- 

 ness was chiefly made up of funeral 

 work during the last few days. Al- 

 though the supply of stock was not 

 large, at no time during the entire 

 week did the demand come up to the 

 supply and there was practically no 

 clean-up in any line of seasonable stock. 

 All members of the trade are looking 

 forward to Christmas and orders have 

 already started to come in. This makes 

 the outlook for the future a little bet- 

 ter. 



Various Notes. 



The Washington Floral Co. is cutting 

 some fine stock at present and its 

 roses, orchids and many other varieties 

 of stock continue to find ready buyers, 

 despite the present market conditions. 



George Shaffer was exceedingly busy 

 with funeral work last week. He also 

 had a number of large decorating jobs. 



Louis Morat has resumed his duties 

 as superintendent of the government 

 greenhouses at the National Training 

 School for Boys, after an illness. Mr. 

 Morat has held this position for fifteen 

 years. G. V. S. 



Battle Creek, Mich.— W, E. Willison, 

 who owns a greenhouse, 16x60, intends to 

 build three houses of the same size as 

 soon as weather permits and to put a 

 plot of six and one-half acres under irri- 

 gation for field flowers.
