body hopping. There has also been a 

 Liood amount of funeral work, while 

 < ounter trade has resumed its usual con- 

 dition. The weather in the first part of 

 the week was extremely hot. The bril- 

 liant sunshine has made a big difference 

 to outdoor stock. The market is fairly 

 dutted with peonies, hardy roses, Span- 

 ish iris, etc., and indoor stock has ar- 

 rived faster than it could be comfort- 

 ably used. Quantities of short-stemmed 

 Beauties are sold on the streets at gK'e- 

 jiway prices, while the usual cut of 

 ordinary Beauties is disposed of 

 clieaply. Lots of short-stemmed Killar- 

 neys find their way to the market, but 

 they do not interfere much with the 

 regular cuts of longer-stemmed stock. 

 Good Sunburst, Taft, My Maryland, 

 Milady, Cardinal and Kaiserin are 

 cleaned up fairly well daily. Sweet 

 jieas are in fairly good condition and 

 the sales keep up well. Carnations are 

 not overplentiful and many of them are 

 of inferior qualitj'. A few good ones 

 may be had. Valley lias met with a 

 largo demand of late, but the quality 

 is not extra good. Easter lilies are on 

 the market, but do not receive large 

 calls. Orchids have sold freely during 

 the last few days and their quality has 

 been first-class. The old-fashioned gar- 

 den flowers are becoming more popular 

 and sell well this year. Little is seen 

 of blossoming plants now, though here 

 and there can be found a few primulas, 

 hydrangeas, begonias and gloxinias. 



Various Notes, 



Charles W. Curtis has had one of the 

 best years in bedding stock since he 

 commenced business. Little bedding 

 stock is left and he has entirely cleaned 

 out his aster plants and pelargoniums. 

 He is getting a good cut of sweet pea?. 



Visitors last week included E. F. Ken- 

 non, of the Climax Mfg. Co., Castorland, 

 X. Y.; Thomas Cogger, of N. F. Mc- 

 Carthy & Co., Boston, who attended the 

 wedding of a relative here, and Morris 

 Cohen, of "Wertheimer Bros., New York. 

 Each man reports good business. 



H. E. Wilson is growing some beauti- 

 ful gloxinias in exquisite shades and 

 finds a good sale for them. His force 

 was unusually busy with weddings last 

 week.
