 W. J. Palmer & Son did the work. 



David Scott, of Corfu, N. Y., is mar-

F. Howe, who has been suffering from 

 neuritis of the optic nerve for about a 

 year, was taken to the hospital Febru- 

 ary 3 and died February 5. The funeral

The lAarket. 



Narcissus Golden Spur is the central 

 figure on the floral stage today; it is 

 good, reasonable and plentiful. The 

 result is probably the largest trading 

 in the history of this popular flower so 

 early in its season. It really seemed 

 as though all the shipping orders and 

 all the local orders included Spurs. The 

 market is fastidious; Trumpet Major 

 won't do. Flowers from Guernsey- 

 grown bulbs are accepted under pro- 

 test; it must be the genuine Holland 

 stock, well grown, to please. Fortu- 

 nately, the stock is superb and the 

 buyers consequently are happy. 



The market is in pretty fair condi- 

 tion, thanks mainly to the excellent 

 out-of-town demand. Local business 

 has been only moderate. The storm

had its effect on shopping, but the cities 

 that call on this market for some of 

 their flowers have taken large ship- 

 ments, balancing supply and demand 

 nicely. Boses, except Beauties and Rus- 

 sell, are more plentiful; the medium 

 and short are most sold. Carnations 

 have on many days been scarce, al- 

 though the supply is quite large; the 

 effect is to make prices firmer without 

 advancing them. Sweet peas of the 

 Spencer type are coming in more freely 



now, when the sun shines, and some of 

 the best are bringing a higher price 

 than last week, thanks to their improved 

 quality. Violets have moved up a little 

 in price, especially the doubles, although 

 they still are low. Lilac has declined 

 to $1 a bunch and seemg good value at 

 that figure. Easter lilie^ and callas are 

 not plentiful; prices firm. Bulbous 

 flowers are selling well when good. For- 

 get-me-not is arriving more freely in 

 anticipation of St. Valentine's day.
