The Market. 



Increased sales of bedding plants 

 have been a feature of the market 

 during the last week. As spring ad- 

 vances and garden flowers begin to 

 bloom, cut flower sales decrease some- 

 what. There is, of cours3. a consider- 

 able demand for flowers for funeral 

 work and for social events. 



Beautiful outdoor tulips are coming 

 into the market, some of the finer varie- 

 ties appearing during the last week. 

 Darwins seem quite popular. There are 

 some parrot tulips seen. Outdoor sweet 

 peas are coming in and are of good 

 quality. Blanche Ferry is one of the 

 most popular varieties. Outdoor valley 

 is arriving in good quantity. Iris is 

 plentiful and of good quality, espe- 

 cially the blue variety. Hydrangeas 

 continue plentiful, are of good quality 

 and cheap. 



Various Notes. 



Philips Bros, have had a large quan- 

 tity of funeral work recently. They 

 have a fine supply of potted Japanese 

 maples on display. 



W. L. Jones, of Nutley, reports that 

 his business during the last winter has 

 been better than during any other win- 

 ter for fourteen years. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Essex County Florists' Club was held 

 in the Krueger auditorium, in this city, 

 Thursday evening, May 13. The mem- 

 bers discussed many problems of the 

 trade. The board of education commit- 

 tee was urged to see the members of 

 the Newark board of education and 

 urge them to permit gifts of flowers to 

 members of the public school graduat- 

 ing classes. Some members thought the 

 responsibility for the curtailment of 

 this privilege belonged to the princi- 

 pals of the various schools, but even 

 though this be the case, it was thought 

 best to take the matter up with the 

 board. The club is planning for a 

 clam -bake, to be held next August, and 

 plans for this were informally dis- 

 cussed. At the previous meeting the 

 club voted $25 to the Yard and Lot 

 Improvement Association for prizes for 

 the best flowering plants grown under 

 the direction of the association. Fol- 

 lowing the business session the mem- 

 bers sat down to a beefsteak luncheon. 



The death of Edwin Lark in, whose 

 injury from being run over by an auto- 

 mobile was reported last week, is re- 

 corded in the obituary column of this 

 issue. R. B. M. 



Milton, Pa. — George J. Bender has 

 broken ground for a residence on his 

 lot fronting the greenhouses on Market 

 street.
