The Market. 



The demand last week was largely 

 for roses, carnations and tulips. Roses 

 are plentiful and of f^ood quality. Car- 

 nations are a little soft and do not 

 stand up well, but there is an abundant 

 stock in siji;ht. Tulips are the most 

 l)opular flowers this month and large 

 quantities of superior stock are being 

 brought to the market. The end of 

 next month will proliably see the last 

 of the tulips. Baby roses are on the 

 market in large (juantities now. A 

 slight decrease is noted in the prices 

 of all of this stock. Many new vari- 

 eties of spring flowers are on the mar- 

 ket. Sweet peas are arriving abun- 

 dantly. Purple lilacs, ranunculi and 

 irises are fairly abundant now. The 

 Spanish iris is especially fine this 

 spring. Snapdragons are also abundant. 

 A few bachelor's buttons and pansies 

 have appeared on the market. Violets 

 have entirely disappeared. Tamarix 

 shrubs are becoming pojiular for deco- 

 rations. The first gladioli ajjpeared on 

 the market last week. 



Vaxious Notes. 

 The H. M. Sanborn Co. experienced 

 a good Easter l)usiness and managed 

 to clean up i)ractically everything. 

 W. S. Harmon thinks that the market 

 for lilies is decreasing from year to 

 year, as it is now possible to have lilies 

 for an increased length of time. Most 

 of the goods sold this year were reason- 

 able in price. Much of the business 

 was in cut flowers. Preparations are 

 being made for a big Mothers' day. 

 This firm received several orders from 

 the east on the occasion of the opening 

 of the new Reich & Ijievre department 

 store. 



Cliff Wageuet is still laid up from his 

 attack of blood jioisoning. He is ex- 

 jiected back on the jol) next week. The 

 business of the Oakland Flower Shop 

 has be(>n increasing steadily, in s])ite 

 of Mr. Wagenet 's forced absence. The 

 shi])ping business here was particularly 

 brisk. The business transacted during 

 the month of Ajiril is" rather poor, as a 

 rule, but this year the volume at this 

 store sur])assed that for the month of 

 April of 1920 and 1921. A considerable 

 number of new customers have been 

 booked, whil(> business with most of 

 the old ones is steadily increasing. 



llogan & K\('rs have received ])lans 

 for a new store. The ])resent (juarters 

 of this firm are too small and the new 

 store will jirovide the additional s|)ace 

 neeile(l, and will give a better location, 

 with a larger window frontage. The 

 new stere will be adjaceiit to the First 

 National bank, on Telegra]>h avenue, 

 about half a lilock from the jiresent 

 location of the firm. The change will 

 not be made liefore August 1, as the 

 firm's present lease does not expire 

 for some time. The Easter business of 

 this firm wa.s fine. The volume of busi- 

 ness is estimated to have been fullv 

 twice that of Easter in 1921. 



The window of the Thorsted Ploral 

 Co. is always sure to have something 

 interesting and unusual in it. This is

 NOVELTY ERICA RED MELANTHERA
