The Market. 



The local wholesale market got back 

 last week to the wholesalers' liking. 

 The glut which flisrupted the market 

 a week ago canio to a sudden end and 

 all seasonable stock shortened up consid- 

 erably in some cases. The growers here 

 say they will bo off crop for a while. 

 This points to a scarcity for the coming 

 big flower day, May 8. Last week, 

 however, there was plenty to meet a 

 general demand. The jobbing off in 

 thousand lots at cheap prices was not 

 encouraged as it was a week ago by 

 the wholesalers, as the price went up 



a few cents on prime stock. Premier, 

 Ophelia, Columbia and Milady are at 

 present of fine quality, but are not 

 overstocked at any of the markets. 

 White Killarney has a good daily de- 

 mand for weddings, which have been 

 many. 



Carnations, which arrived in great 

 numbers, also shortened up, while the 

 demand about cleans them up now, at 

 a cent or two more than last week's 

 prices. All Enchantress varieties, 

 Nebraska and Ward are of excellent 

 quality. 



There was a large supply of Easter 

 lilies to be had at all times. Valley is 

 in demand and outdoor tulips are plen- 

 tiful. Sweet peas, too, have shortened 



up and the oversupply in them has 

 ceased for a while. Snapdragons clean 

 up in the choice stock. Delphiniums, 

 calendulas, daisies and daffodils have 

 their daily good demand. 



In greens, the market clears almost 

 daily. The demand is especially strong 

 on asparagus and adiantum. 



Various Notes. 



The publicity committee held a poorly 

 attended meeting April 20. Chairman 

 Bourdet, who never fails to attend, pre- 

 sided over the meeting, which was 

 called for the especial purpose of ar- 

 ranging all details for the "Say It 

 with Flowers" week at the Missouri 

 theater. Those who had the arrange-
