The Market. 



BmiMeu was good for the florists last 

 week. There was a great demand from 

 surrounding towns for commencement 

 oxereiset and there was also a great 

 deal of funeral work. Prices dropped 

 back to just about what they were be- 

 fore Mathers' day. Roses, carnations 

 and sweet peas are in the market and 

 bringing a good price. Some fine snap- 

 dragoas are aeen and bring a good price. 



Various Notes. 



The eoiiperative decorating of the 

 theaters by the florists for Mothers' 

 day prored to be a good business get- 

 ter. The Jefferson was decorated by 

 the Blossem Floral Co., the Strand by 

 the Doswell Floral Co. and the Orpheum 

 by the La«ternier Floral Co. Southern 

 smilax, palms and baskets were used. 

 Mothers' day slides were shown and 

 thus the day was brought before a num- 

 ber of people who, probably, had given 

 no thought to it. 



Edgar Wenninghoff reports that he 

 was forced to close his store early in 

 the day, as everything was sold and he 

 was unable to obtain any more stock. 



The Doswell Floral Co. reports that 

 the trade at the cemetery at Mothers' 

 day far exceeded that of any previous 

 year. The weather was ideal and peo- 

 ple took the opportunity of remember- 

 ing their dead. The store was complete- 

 ly sold out of all blooming stock and it 

 was necessary to close early. 



The Blossom Floral Co. furnished the 

 decorations and bouquets for the mar- 

 riage of Dr. Connett's daughter, of 

 Decatur, Ind.

J. C. Neilsen, representative of Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co., Chicago, was a trade

Brockton, Mass. — Mrs. Christina 

 Blood has been carrying on the business

Greeley, Ck>lo. — The store where Ellis 

 the Florist formerly was will be occupied 

 in the near future by N. Sato, who will 

 open the Japanese Flower and Art Shop.

 ated by Mr. and Mrs. Fred R. Myrick.

 and bedding plants.
