There is do better supply in this market, and where the supply is the best 

 and the quality always good, that should prove the best place to send your 

 orders for Beauties. We have mostly of the two top grades, and a fair supply 

 of the medium and short sizes. 



CARNATIONS

The same grade of Carnations 

 we know cannot be bought else- 

 where for less money. We would 

 be pleased to have you try a 

 couple of shipments, so that you 

 can make a fair comparison.

 tion of such varieties best 

 adapted for shipping.

The Market. 



The close of the pre-Lenten season 

 marks a most satisfactory week in the 

 cut flower market. While prices are 

 still lower than for the same week last 

 year, the blessed sunshine brought in 

 enough flowers to make a larger volume 

 of business than we had then. Condi- 

 tions have been most satisfactory; a 

 large supply of flowers that went out 

 about as fast as they came in, leaving 

 no surplus for regrets. There can be 

 no question that part of this satisfac- 

 tory result is due to St. Valentine's 

 day, which was responsible for more 

 gifts of flowers than in any previous 

 year. Forget-me-not is, of course, the 

 good saint's favorite flower. It soared 

 as high as $6 per hundred for the spe- 

 cials, if I may use that term, but there 

 really are not enough remember-mes to 

 cut a figure. Violets are supposed to 

 come next, but they didn't seem to; 

 they dragged, even with prices as low 

 as $6 to $7.50 per thousand for fine 

 stock. Sweet peas fared better. The 

 Spencers were much in evidence, ad- 

 vancing to $2 per hundred for a large 

 number of well grown flowers. Valley 

 was in higher favor than for weeks 

 past, while the few Eichmonds and 

 Hadleys that bloomed were eagerly ac- 

 cepted. 



The carnation crop was heavy last 

 week, forming the mainstay of the mar- 

 ket. The stock was generally good and 

 sold well at excellent prices, usually 

 from $30 to $40 per thousand. Roses 

 were in better supply and went pretty 

 well, without fancy prices. This does

not apply to Beauties; these were firm 

 at $9 per dozen, $10 being' obtained for 

 selected stock for shipping. Daffodils 

 have eased a trifle, but they continue 

 to lead the bulbous flowers. Cattleyas 

 have shown an improvement, while 

 really good gardenias are not plentiful. 

 The out-of-town orders were heavy 

 throughout the entire week. 



The London Flower Shop. 



The window contained some choice 



floral creations, dainty combinations of 

 color and form sure to appeal to a 

 refined taste, not crowded together — 

 just placed carelessly, as it were, with 

 a background that brought out harmony 

 and contrast of tint and shade to per- 

 fection. Inside is a scene of brightness 

 made brighter by the gloom outside. 

 It does not look like a shop, but much 

 more like a pretty room at home, with 

 bright faces and gay flowens all about. 

 But the visit is strictly one of business,
