The Market. 



With the weather conditions excellent, 

 the market last week was considerably 

 better than the week preceding. Car- 

 nations came in better, but none brought 

 more than a fair price. The outlook for 

 carnations for Mothers' day is only fair, 

 but there are some who have hopes of a 

 large supply. Sweet peas continued to 

 arrive in great quantity, but they were 

 still of the second grade. Easter lilies 

 were plentiful; in fact, too much so, 

 and it was hard to clean out stock. 

 Callas fell off a little. Roses were fine, 

 and still held a good price. Snapdragons 

 arrived in great quantities, but there was 

 no decline in the price. Gladiolus made 

 its appearance last week and was ex- 

 ceptional in quality and brought a good 

 price. Candytuft also was seen for the 

 first time and was good. Other flowers 

 came in generous supply. With funeral 

 work plentiful and flowers used to a 

 great extent, the week can be called 

 good. 



Various Notes. 



With a dancing class exhibition almost 

 every afternoon and night last week, 

 the florists have reported that the sale 

 of baskets was enormous. Baskets rang- 

 ing from $4 to $15 were sold in »um- 

 bers all during the week, as well as a 

 good many hand bouquets of roses and 

 other flowers. 



With the return of the warmer days, 

 thoughts have been turned to bedding 

 plants and the demand has increased 

 steadily during the last week. Porch 

 boxes, hanging baskets, large ferns and 

 a general line of bedding plants were 

 selling well and within the next week 

 the height of this season will be reached. 

 Prices are the same as last year on this 

 stock. 



With the weather conuitions remain- 

 ing the same, E. G. Reimers & Son Co. 

 will, by the end of tliis week, be cut- 

 ting some delphinitmis outdoors. 



The William Walker Co. has put in a 

 house of smilax and anticipates a good 

 supply in the future. They also have a 

 couple of benches in clarkias, which, they 

 say. have been jnit to ^'ood use in box 

 work. E. G. R.
