Various Notes. 



St. Valentine's day was a busy day 

 for all of the local florists. Stock never 

 was better and it sold in most cases at 

 moderate prices. Most of the retailers 

 state that the volume of business was 

 from ten to twenty per cent heav- 

 ier this year than that of last, but the 

 lower prices made the cash balance fall 

 below that of 1921. 



Notice of the death of Fred Berling- 

 hoff, an employee for thirty years of 

 Hess & Swoboda, appears on the obitu- 

 ary page of this issue. T. E. E.

The Market. 



The supply on the market increased 

 steadily last week. Demand, however, 

 seemed on the decline. White flowers 

 predominated, including carnations, 

 freesias, narcissi and white roses. St. 

 Valentine's day was reported good, al- 

 though it did not conio up to other years. 

 Prices are on tlie downward trend. 

 Tulips, daffodils, liyacinths, narcissi and 

 freesias are in good supply and their 

 quality is good. 



Roses in pink are especially scarce, 

 while Ophelia and otlier varieties move 

 also, but somewhat more slowly. Local 

 valley has juit in an appearance and 

 some fine lilac is also on the market. 

 The latter moves slowly. Sweet peas 

 are better and prices are lo\ver. Greens, 

 in the line of adiantum, piumosus and 

 Sprengeri, have been extremely scarce.
