 only for the best. 



Double white narcissi were here in 

 quantity Saturday, but moved slowly at 

 $1 per hundred. Callas were in excellent 

 demand last week and prices ranged 

 from $1 to $2 per dozen. The tulip 

 supply is lessening. Only Spencer sweet 

 peas are wanted. Shrubs are furnishing 

 their quota of seasonable flowers.

The Market. 



Although the two days preceding 

 Memorial day were cold and stormy, the 

 holiday itself brought warm weather 

 and the stores all were busy. Business 

 for the day compared favorably with 

 that of other years. Stock was plenti- 

 ful, but there was a scarcity of most of 

 the outdoor flowers that are usually in 

 the market for Memorial day. Few 

 peonies and fewer lilacs were seen, 

 while there were no hardy blue irises. 

 The latter have since come into the 

 market, but no special demand is no- 

 ticed. 



A good supply of the cheaper vari- 

 eties of flowers were in and included 

 some fine pink and white stocks, white 

 marguerites and outdoor valley. The

The June Bride will require flowers in 

 quantity! 



Why worry needlessly about the uncer- 

 tainty of express shipments? Install a 

 Gloekler Cut Flower Refrigferator and keep 

 quantities of cut flowers on hand for all 

 occasions. 



The Gloekler will keep them as crisp and 

 as fresh as the new-plucked blossom!
