The Maxket. 



Although business was good last 

 week, the supply was far in excess of 

 the demand, with the result that grow- 

 ers were offering special prices on quan- 

 tities to move their stock. 



Some retailers dislike special sales, 

 but there were some who were taking 

 advantage of these special offerings, 

 with the result that much more stock 

 was moved, and the public was given a 

 chance to purchase liowers at low 

 prices. It is possible that these cut- 

 price sales were carried to the extreme 

 in some cases, especially with carna- 

 tions, as they were offered as low as 75 

 cents a dozen. The writer wonders 

 what the florist who is selling at this 

 ])rice is going to tell the i)ublic 

 Mothers' day, when he is compelled to 

 sell his stock at $2 to $3 per dozen. 



Although prices were away down, the 

 quality of stock was excellent and 

 while the business dcjiression in gen- 

 eral has its effect on the flower busi- 

 ness, the glut at present is caused more 

 by extremely mild weather than by the 

 falling off in busiiipss.

When through the use of con-

 are eliminated ? Concrete im-
