white lilacs are also fine; they are well 

 budded and have long, well flowered 

 spikes. In another house are 5,000 

 American Beauty rose plants which are 

 as good as have ever been produced by 

 this firm. They range from twelve to 

 sixteen buds and blooms per plant. All 

 of these plants will be in excellent con- 

 dition for Easter use. The firm also has 

 15,000 pots of Easter lilies, the plants 

 averaging about six blooms each. The 

 height and condition of these plants are 

 considered fine. In the cut flower line 

 the firm will have a large quantity of 

 extra fine American Beauty roses, be- 

 sides all other kinds of roses popular 

 in this section. The collection will also 

 include carnations, sweet peas, calla 

 lilies and various kinds of spring flow- 

 ers. T. N. S.

The Market. 



There lias been comparatively little 

 change the last week in the local market, 

 excepting that cut and potted bulbous 

 stock is becoming more plentiful and the 

 department stores are making prepara- 

 tion for the usual handling of these 

 goods for the Easter tide. As the great 

 church day approaches, it becomes more 

 and more evident that A-1 lilies will be 

 conspicuous by their limited numbers. 

 There will, undoubtedly, be thousands 

 of plants and blooms, but, with the ex- 

 ception of a small percentage, they will 

 be short, stunted plants, with small, par- 

 tially developed blooms. 



Violets will be scarce and high. 

 Koses and carnations, which furnish the 

 staple of this market, are in good quan- 

 tity and quality, with prices within the 

 reach of all. 



Funeral work has continued active 

 and there has been more social demand 

 than usual.
