that their sweethearts would send flow- 

 ers instead of candy.' 



" 'Wliy don't they do this?' was the 

 query. 



" 'Perhaps it is because they cannot 

 join in the disposal of the flowers,' 

 Turner answered. 



"Turner is conducting a campaign to 

 popularize the wearing of corsage bou- 

 quets. He says that while at the pres- 

 ent time few women wear them except 

 on their wedding day, they are abso- 

 lutely correct for street wear and for 

 formal social events. 



"One of the largest of Santa Ana's 

 industries," concludes the article, "and 

 perhaps one of the most far-reaching, 

 is the Amling Bros, greenhouse range, on 

 West Fifth street. Here are grown in 

 a year hundreds of thousands of flowers, 

 which are cut and shipped to Los An- 

 geles and thence to points as far distant 

 as Montana and Texas."

The Market. 



There was little change in the market 

 situation last week. Funeral work 

 formed a greater share of the business 

 and proved a "life saver" for the 

 trade. No new offerings were noted in 

 the stock list. Weather conditions have 

 not been favorable. Retailers have had 

 trouble with potted offerings, since the 

 cold weather and the low heat in the 

 shops have made for early damage. 

 There has been a little increase in the 

 number of weddings and general decora- 

 tions. 



Narcissi are in heavy supply and pre- 

 sent a problem to the retailer, whose 

 most profitable items now are flowers 

 which can be used in general funeral 

 work, in case they do not sell as cut 

 flowers. There is a good sale of hya- 

 cinths. Cinerarias have been in heavier 

 demand. Tulips are .not up to standard 

 and some trouble has been experienced 

 with cyclamens. Some fine examples of 

 primroses are shown; these enjoy a 

 ready sale. 



Roses are still unsatisfactory as to 

 quality and are also short on cut, but 

 give promise of improvement within a 

 short time. Orchids are still increasing, 

 with lily of the valley scarcer and bou- 

 vardia hard to get. Violets have been 

 carrying through in better shape, but 

 are still short of top quality. 



Various Notes.

last week. They were on their way home 

 from a visit to California. 



The Pinehurst Floral Shop has enjoyed 

 a better demand for all potted offerings, 

 with medium-sized ferns leading in sales. 

 Larger decorative artificial stock is also 

 popular. 



Funeral work for the Woodlawn 

 Flower Shop last week was heavy, com- 

 pletion of pieces taxing the staff at 

 times. Some improvement is seen in 

 general business. An attractive window 

 was developed by turning the window 

 proper into a rustic garden and setting 

 a fence and swinging gate across the 

 back.

 cial display of potted hyacinths last 

 week and has moved a considerable

Henry Morgan advises that business 

 in the new shop is keeping up to expec- 

 tations, with potted plants probably the 

 best selling feature at present.
