The Market. 



Business here has been holding up 

 well on account of funeral work, many 

 large orders being received by the 

 stores. Kubrum lilies and gladioli still 

 predominate, Easter lilies being scarce. 

 Roses are improving greatly. The last 

 week has been cool and the change was 

 beneficial. American Beauty roses also 

 show the effects of the cooler tempera- 

 ture and were in much better demand, 

 bringing from $1.50 to $4 per dozen. 



Good roses range from $8 to $20 per 

 hundred. There are some shorter grades 

 that are offered at from $2 to $0 per 

 hundred, which iire used largely in box 

 trade nnd funoriil work. The top price 

 is on liussell and a few long-stemmed 

 Cohiml)ia. White roses are improving

 supply and the wholesalers were at 

 their wits' ends to fill orders. 



(Jlndioli, although small, are in good 

 demand and there is a clean-up each 

 day. Tlio price ranges from $3 to $8 

 per hundred. The outlook for a good 

 crop the next couple of weeks is excel- 

 lent, as some new lots of ATucrica, Peace, 

 Mrs. Francis King and some of the 

 others are due in. Asters are improv-

 less desirable grades can be had at half 

 that sum. A few short dahlias have
