The Market. 



Flowers of all kinds are plentiful. 

 Business is a little brisker now, but 

 funeral work forms the bulk of the 

 trade. There are still a few weddings, 

 but they are all small ones. Roses are 

 small and when they are out of the 

 refrigerator they flop wide open. Car- 

 nations and. garden flowers are selling 

 the best just now. Harrisii lilies are 

 becoming more abundant. Gentaureas 

 are used for funeral work with good ef- 

 fect in clusters. Asters and gladioli 

 are seen here and there. There are a 

 few good sweet peas to be had. Out- 

 door stock is suffering because of the 

 drought.
