The Market. 



]"iiinl ;i<-ti\itie.s <;;i\e January a iniu-li 

 better eliding than had been anticipated. 

 Altluiugh there are no local florists who 

 insist that new sales records were set 

 for .lanuary, nearly e\cry house reports 

 total sales <;r<'''iter than had been antici- 

 pated. f'<dlections, ho-\vever, ha\e been 

 slower than usual. 



There are a few growers who main- 

 tain tliat this season will represent some 

 loss to them on bulbous stock, since 

 they arc sellinfj at less per bloom than 

 they jiaid jier bulb. Sales on spring of- 

 ferings have been good, otherwise tliis 

 situation might ha\C' been worse. 



The local cut nf roses has dropped off 

 alniiist entirely, with just a few growers 

 cutting limited numbers of Columbia, 

 Ophelia and Ward. There has been a 

 distinct shortage of baby roses and 

 Ceeile Brunner, so that cut 

 have largely replaced the 

 corsage work. California 

 have been largely confined 

 and Ophelia. 



The supply of orchids has slackened 

 a little, but not enough to prevent 

 lavish use of these flowers in bi<j- decora- 

 tions, or in the filling ol' shipping orders. 

 Valley is scarce, hut ]inpiuises to pick 

 up shortly. 



There has been a big incicnsc in tlie 

 cut of local carnations, with an in- 

 different market for everything but the 

 best Laddie just at this time.
