The Market. 



I'lices of flowers are coming down and 

 no one is more pleased than the retailers 

 Many of them have confessed during the 

 last year or two that they were ashamed 

 to charge the prices they have had to, at 

 the high prevailing wholesale figures. Lt 

 is a fact that trade was driven away by 

 high prices. Many persons who formerly 

 made frequent purchases of flowers at $1 

 or $l.r)0 stopped buying entirely. Even- 

 tually, if lower prices continue, such 

 small customers will come back, but it 

 will take many months to get back to the 

 former volume of business in this re- 

 spect. Prices will jump again at Easter, 

 but are not likely to go as high as they 

 did last year. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Lutliy. 3G3 Springfield avenue, 

 reports much funeral work for the last 

 few weeks, making aggregate returns 

 quite satisfactory, considering the unset- 

 tled conditions. 



Connelly & Plunkett, 149 Bloomfield 

 avenue, report the volume of business 

 done so far this year exceeds the amount 

 done during the corresponding months of 

 last year. The outlook for Easter io 

 excellent. R- B. M. 



BRAMPTON, ONT. 



Everything points to an Easter that 

 should delight the florists. There are 

 plenty of fine lilies that will come in 

 almost on the minute and roses are well 

 timed likewise. Carnations will be 

 more plentiful than last year and there 

 are plenty of sweet peas and other 

 stock to take the place of bulbous 

 flowers, whicli carry so little profit. 

 Violets may last out with cooler 

 weather, but if spring continues in its 

 present mood, the chances are against 

 both quality and quantity in this 

 article. 



Business has been brisk with some 

 and slack with others during the month 

 of February, but \V. G. Peacock, who 

 has just returned from a trip to Mon- 

 treal, found that there was plenty of 

 funeral work going on in that city, 

 owing to the influenza. 



The mild weather has been responsi- 

 ble for a great saving in packing and 

 delivery expenses this season, and a 

 drop of 5 cents per pound in wrapping 

 paper this week will be welcomed by 

 all in the trade. 



E. Dale is in the hospital, slowly re- 

 covering from an operation. 



Mr. Brown, of the Dominion Floral 

 Co., Montreal; W. Ramsay, of Edmon- 

 ton: A. M. Henshaw. of New York, and 

 S. T. Chase, of Wolfville, N. 8., were 

 visitors last week. W. G. P.
