The Market 



Bie past week has been a busy one 

 for the florists here, an unusual number 

 of deaths bringing a large amount of 

 floral work. Some of the finest stock 

 seen since the holidays is being shown 

 aad brings good prices. Boses, carna- 

 tions and violets were never better. Vfll- 

 ley ia looking fine, with prices a little 

 higher than last week. There is a good 

 healthy demand for all kinds of cut 

 blooms. There are some fine lilacs and 

 sweet peas coming in. Beauties are get- 

 ting scarce and the quality poor. Brides 

 and Maids are of fine quality and in de- 

 mand. Liberties are very poor and very 

 few Chatenay are seen, but are of ex- 

 cellent quality. Romans, Paper Whites, 

 callas and Harrisii are abundant, while 

 tulips are scarce. The coming week 

 promises to be a busy one, as there a'-e 

 quite a number of balls and receptions 

 to make it interesting. 



Variotis Notes. 



McKinley day was a "frost" here, 

 very few being seen wearing the carna- 

 tion. Some of the local dealers invested 

 heavily in stock but were forced to sell 

 at a sacrifice. 



Miss M. Dalley and her sister, Julia, 

 are confined to their home with the 

 grippe. 



Mann & Chiles, two young florists who 

 bought out Mrs. Duss, in the Gumble 

 building, failed last week. The stock 

 and flxtures are for sale. 



One of the most modern, up-to-date 

 establishments in this city is that of the 

 Alpha Floral Co., on Walnut street. Their 

 latest addition is an improved four- 

 drawer cash register, costing $550, one 

 drawer for each clerk, making it an easy 

 matter to foot up each evening the 

 amount taken in and paid out each day. 

 They have also added a fire and burglar- 

 proof safe. They have purchased the 

 property at 912 East Tenth street. 



Chas. Wise reports business as very 

 good in his line and is adding greatly 

 t« his stock. 



D. Freudenthal reports business as in- 

 creasing greatly in his new location. 



Miss Jewell reports business as quiet 

 at present, but indications point to a 

 steady increase. 



Ed A. Tonquist, with Miss Dalley, who 

 has been confined to his home since 

 Christmas from an injury received that 

 day, is able to be out again.
