The Market. — 



"The bigfjcst Easter we evor had." 

 "Not half enough stock to fjo around.'' 

 "What wonderful weather!" These 

 and many more expressions were heard 

 from praetieally every florist in town in 

 regard to their Easter business. In- 

 deed, everyone was busy and it is an 

 aelvnowledged fact that considerably 

 more stock could have been sold if it 

 had been jn-oeurable. Every available 

 flower was picked and sold. 



Since the holiday, l)UsinesH has been 

 good. Weddings liavc been (juite nu- 

 merous and several large parties have 

 called for fairly good decorations. On 

 top of this, thofe has been much funeral 

 work, which has considerably helped to 

 reduce the large amount of stock on 

 hand. Stock of all kinds is i)lentifu!, 

 and ])rices are low. The large iiuanti- 

 ties of stock reaching us just two or 

 thri'c days after the holiday caused 

 prices to go down in order to clear. 



Koses are jiart icularly low in ]irice, 

 while the (juality is excellent. Carna- 

 tions are ]>lentiful, but the heavy cuts 

 caused them to slow uji a trille towards 

 the week-end. Daffodils remain in 

 heavy supply, although they cannot last 

 much longer at the rate they have been 

 coming. Sweet ])eas are plentiful, but 

 the long-stemmed stuck is off for a 

 while. Stocks of a good medium gradt' 

 r(>aches us and clears well. ( "aleiidul.-is 

 are in good demand and have an e\eii 

 sale. Myosotis and mignonette are of 

 good (|uality and sell well in basket 

 combinations arrangerl with yellow 

 daisies. Orchids and gardenias are hav- 

 ing a fairly good market of late. Last 

 week vicdets were excejn ionally good 

 and the supply heiivy, but the sale on 

 them has been small. Snapdragons arc 

 reaching us in several varied shades and 

 have a ready sale. Paiier Whites, 

 freesias and jtoeticus narcissi are slow- 

 ing up considerably. Valley is ]dentiful 

 and is being used more readily of late. 

 Lilies and callas are snmewhat scarce. 

 Various Notes. 



Mrs. ■I<p.icliiiii Schult, Hilton, X. \ .. 

 is contemplating the erection of a small 

 greenhouse, which will be built near the 

 roadway .•iiid will adjoin the ])resent 

 house. Business is growing well and is 

 necessitating this expansion. 



H. E. Rogers, S])encer])ort and lirock- 

 port, X. Y., reports exccdlent business 

 during the Easter rush. His new store, 

 in T?rock])ort, is proving to be a marked 

 success. Husiness there was much better 

 than he had anticipated. At the Spen-

 bv the g()\ernment as a jiostal clerk

Vick, the Florist, Charlotte, N. Y., re- 

 l)orts unusually good business for the 



Ivister trade, saying it was the biggest 

 he ever had. He has been (juite active 

 recently, having a good quantity of fu- 

 neral work each day. 



There is a cjuestion now on the minds 

 • f the growers as to what flowers will be 

 in the market for Memorial day trade. 

 Florists s;iy that never in their history 

 has stock been so closely cleaned up as 

 at this time. Outdoor shrubbery is al- 

 most in leaf in some sheltered spots and 

 blossoms are occasionally seen.
