The Market. 



Weddings have been numerous since 

 June 1 and in consequence there has 

 been a considerable demand for flow- 

 ers. Most of the events, however, have 

 been small. Funeral work has been 

 steady, several prominent residents hav- 

 ing died recently. Graduations during 

 the next two weeks promise to have a 

 stimulating effect on business. 



The market has been fairly well sup- 

 plied with seasonable stock. There is 

 a good demand for carnations, the qual- 

 ity of which continues fair. Whites 

 are in shorter supply than the pinks. 

 There is an abundance of roses, which 

 include some fine Beauties in various 

 grades, the sale of which has been larger 

 recently. Montrose, Hadley, Ophelia, 

 Ward, Sunburst, Killarney and White

 in the market and sell at fancy prices. 

 The supply of Easter lilies is abundant, 

 but there are not so many callas. Blue

 plentiful. Greens are in short supply.
