 .... how to make the box to meet his requirements. When it comes to Quality, Ar-

The Market. 



Although the Lenten season is here 

 and there is a decided suggestion of 

 spring in the air, business is holding 

 up nicely. The warmer weather has 

 increased production considerably, and 

 the demand has also shown some im- 

 provement. There is still considerable 

 social activity and this always calls 

 for flowers. Roses are slightly lower in 

 price, except Beauties, which are in 

 somewhat shorter supply. Carnations 

 were somewhat scarce last week, al- 

 though there was more sunshine than 

 usual at this time of year. Violets are 

 cheap and there is not the demand for 

 them that there should be. Sweet 

 peas are fine and always sell well. Yel- 

 low marguerites were seen in the down- 

 town stores, and these equal the carna- 

 tions in quality and value. So far 

 there has been no glut in bulbous stock 

 and this is an agreeable surprise to 

 florists. Snapdragons and valley are 

 scarce. Potted plants are fine and 

 abundant, and sell well. Tulips, hya- 

 cinths, daffodils, cinerarias and azaleas 

 are among the leaders in this line. 



Various Notes. 



Florists are cautioned against the 

 habit of changing checks for unknown 

 customers, as there has been more of 

 the bogus check noise in this city. Two 

 men ordering flowers for an Order of 

 Railway Conductors, and offering 

 checks to the amount of $30, worked 

 this town pretty well. They appeared 

 at several stores, ordered flowers to the 

 amount of $10, directed that they be 

 delivered to a certain address and pre- 

 sented their checks. In one instance 

 they almost received the change, but
