The Market. 



There war- a general improvement re 

 ]>orted among the retail florists for the 

 last week, liusiness making the best 

 showing for any week this year. No new 

 novelties were offered during the week, 

 but the supply of spring flowers in- 

 creased to such a notable degree that 

 \vholesale ])rices on several items de- 

 clined, notably on jonquils and freesias. 

 Daffodils were still enough of a novelty 

 to hold steady, and double stock was .-in 

 especially good seller. Tulips continue 

 j)Opular, and with better keeping quali- 

 ties rfs the season advances tliere has 

 been a more general demand for this 

 flower. The use of potted sjiring ])lants 

 to give a touch of color in the various 

 shop windows has been one good outlet 

 for this clasp of gooils. Cineiarias are 

 enjoying considerable po|iularity, and 

 ]irobably led primroses in the volume 

 of sales last week. 



There has been a great lot of funeral 

 work to keep the florists' busy of late, 

 some es]iecially elaboi'ate floral pieces 

 being preji.'ired for a triple funeral of 

 three ]i(dirc officers who were killed by 

 a bandit. "leneral funeral work has 

 also been good, and has served to keep 

 stocks well cleaned up. Wedding deco- 

 rations and smaller jobs for other social 

 events have been ahead of the average, 

 and this has generally required the new- 

 est of flowers. 



Except in the case of one or two 

 growers, the local cut of roses is still 

 considerably below normal, and some 

 varieties promise to be off crop for 

 several weeks yet. Ward, Columbia and 

 Eussell are the most common local offer- 

 ings, with Portland growers supplying
