Two Sterling Wedding Novelties 



BIRD CAGES 



A genuine touch of nature is added to a wedding decoration by means of our neat Bird Cages. They are mounted 

 on pedestals. When a canary is put in' and the cage is set in a window or in some favorable position, the effect is charm- 

 ing. Our Bird Cages are meeting with extraordinary success— a case of "to see them is to order." 



BOSTON BRIDAL STAFF BASKET 



A bright idea of one of our leading Boston florists. It combines all the good points of the staff and the resting bas- 

 ket. A clever acQuisition for the bridesmaid, as it displays the flowers and does not tire the arm. 



Both tbese Novelties can be obtained by ordering trom

The Market. 



The bad weather last week had a 

 serious effect upon Memorial day busi- 

 ness, and had not the business ex- 

 tended over three days some of the 

 f rowers and dealers might have suf- 

 ered a loss. Flowers were in good 

 supply, but the continued rains kept 

 the people from the cemeteries. Peonies 

 played a prominent part in the sales 

 of the week. 



Tausendschon ramblers have just 

 come in. Cattleya gigas of exception- 

 ally fine quality from the north 

 brought $7.50 per dozen without 

 trouble, and the supply was cleaned up 

 as soon as it arrived. The local crop 

 has not yet come in. Calla lilies are 

 nearing the end of their season, and 

 there is little demand for Easter 

 lilies because of the large amount of 

 other flowers to be had for funeral 

 work. Gladioli meet with good sale, 

 although they are gradually being sup- 

 planted by peonies. Some excellent 

 spiraea is to be had. The cool weather 

 has been of great help to carnations, 

 and they have been holding their own. 

 White l^illarney roses have been in 

 good demand all through the month. 

 The school business this year has been 

 heavier than during recent years, and, 

 coupled with the usual amount of 

 funeral work, has kept the stores go- 

 ing in fine shape. Collections are slow, 

 however, and prove a problem to many 

 florists.

The arrival of a shipment of 400 

 palms and 100 aspidistras from Belgium 

 created considerable astonishment 

 among the trade, as it had not been 

 thought that many more plants would 

 come through. They were consigned to 

 F. H, Kramer, Inc., and came on the 

 steamer Byndam.
