"SERVICE YOU'LL LIKE" 



and spasmodic week. While funeral 

 work broufjht tlie bulk of the business 

 to the retailers, it seemed to Ije in ex- 

 tremes. One daj' one florist would be 

 rushed and the others idle. Few social 

 functions are taking place and in those 

 that do take place, flowers are notice- 

 ably absent. This has been a dull month 

 for weddings. Roses are wholesaling at 

 $4 per hundred for shorts and $9 to $12 

 for the medium grades, while the best 

 are moving at $20 and $22. Columbia is 

 by far the heaviest cropper, with Ophe- 

 lia much off in color. Premier is coming 

 back well, and during the week we 

 should get some good roses. Carnations 

 are plentiful at $6 and some move at $4, 

 with the crop going off. 



Bulbous stock continues ample, and 

 of fine quality. Noteworthy among this 

 stock are jonquils, tulips and a few Dar- 

 wins. Tulips are selling at $6 and Dar- 

 wins at $8. Jonquils and daffodils are 

 holding their own and find a good de- 

 mand at $6, while Paper Whites are 

 sluggish at $4. Paper Whites have not 

 been so satisfactory this month, as there 

 were many complaints being received 

 about their being soft. Violets are plen- 

 tiful at no cents per hundred, but they 

 do not clean up. Wonderful valley is 

 to be had at $6 and $8. White peas are 

 bringing $1 to $2 per hundred. Snap- 

 dragons are coming in at $8 to $12.

 or play out. It is made to fit any quart bottle, 

 and Is attached by simply setting it in the 

 bottle, as you would a cork; the outer tube Is 

 provided with a cork, as shown in the Illus- 

 tration, which fits the opening of the bottle 

 snugly, making the sprayer rigid.

i'orget-me-nots are plentiful at $2 and 

 $3 and the last of the freesias are com- 

 ing in at $2 to $4. Callas of fine quality 

 and size are in good supply and demand 

 at $3 per dozen and they work up well 



in the larger sprays. Few formosums 

 are being cut, and these are of an infe- 

 rior quality. Among the novelties are 

 wallflowers and stocks. Plants are still 

 plentiful and move fairlv well. T. E. E.
