All lines of stock were in fjood sup- 

 ]ily last week :uul, tlio deiuand liaving 

 fallen off sdino, stock was more ])lenti- 

 ful than it lias heen for some time. 

 Monday, F(>hruary 14, however, cvery- 

 tliinjj ill sight was cleaned up for St, 

 N'alciitine 's day. Never liefore has such 

 a vjilentine business iieen jtut over. This 

 was due larjjely to advertising:;, and the 

 simjilest sort of advertising at that. 

 There was no newspaper apace used; the 

 favorite method was the stickers, wliich, 

 for a month before St. Valentine's day, 

 were pasted upon every package de- 

 livered. This certainly liad its effect 

 and, had .a more systematic campaign 

 heen carried on, the day's business 

 might liave been larger. That it pays 

 to ad\('rtise was well demonstrated. 

 There is Just about a month left before 

 Easter, and a good, aggressive adver- 

 tising campaign would greatly increase 

 the F.aster business, riuircli work and 

 the <irdiiiarv Kasfer business are always 

 about the same, but a good, live cam- 

 paign on corsage bouquets for Easter 

 Suiidav would undoubtedlv bring re- 

 sults. ' 



All stock on the iiinrket last week 

 was of sjdendid quality. Roses were 

 es]iecially fiue, Premier, jierhaps, lead- 

 ing ill <|ualit>-. with Double White Kil- 

 l.'irney a close second. All varieties, 

 however, were fine. They seem to be 

 imitroving every day. Carnations were 

 in excellent condition, some of the fancy 

 \arieties being of exhibition (|U.ility.
