The Market. 



The usual Lenten season begins to have 

 effect among the growers as well as deal- 

 ers. With weather like June, all kinds of 

 blooming plants are coming iu at once, 

 thus causing a glut in the market. Large 

 quantities find their way to the dump. 

 People are making preparations for plant- 

 ing out bedding stock. Eoses are get- 

 ting smaller and prices are dropping. 

 Extra fine teas are bringing from 8 to 10 

 cents, ordinary stock from 2 to 6 cents. 



Carnations are bringing from $1 to $2 

 per hundred, violets from $1 to $1.50 per 

 thousand, lilies 8 to 10 cents, peas 25 

 cents per bunch, mignonette $1 per hun- 

 dred, tulips and jonquils 75 cents to 

 $1.50 per hundred. Southern daf- 

 fodils are now coming in large quantities 

 and sell at from 25 to 75 cents per hun- 

 dred. 



Various Notes. 



Among the retailers up town George 

 Cook says dinner work dropped a little, 

 but he has considerable funeral work to 

 keep Jiim busy. 



Mr, Kimmell, who for a long time was 

 with Mr. Cook and very popular among 

 the craft, is about to open a store on 

 the corner of Fourteenth and Massachu- 

 setts avenue, a fine location and a hand- 

 some store, and no doubt after a life ex- 

 perience in the business he will make a 

 success. 



Geo. Shaffer seems to be always busy. 

 His store is always packed with stock and 

 he keeps his force hustling. 



Mayberry & Hoover, at the popular 

 Fourteenth street store, claim Lent ' ' cuts 

 no ice" with them. They did two large 

 store decorations last week. One store 

 alone used fifty dozen palms, besides 

 many blooming plants. 



Chauncey Brooks makes funeral work 

 his specialty and his force is always kept 

 busy. 



Z. D; Blackistone reports plenty of 

 weddings and dinners for the last two 

 weeks. He says Lent does not make 

 much difference. 



The bowling team is beginning to 

 practice for the coming convention. There 

 will be something doing, so says Capt. 

 Ernest, if he can only keep his men in 

 line. Mr. Cauly is getting ready to or- 

 ganize the ladies' team and wants the as- 

 sistance of several young good looking 

 men to aid him. 



If warm weather continues this week 

 some of the growers are about to plant 

 carnations in the field. A. Gude is hust-

SANBORN, N. Y. 



C. F. Treichler makes a specialty of 

 carnations. Lawson is largely planted 

 and from conditions here one would not 

 think that its vitality is running out, the 

 plants being in the pink of condition, 

 with no signs of a let-up in production. 

 He reports a cut *f 40,000 blooms to 



date from a house 25x120 feet. He has 

 plans out for a house to be erected 

 this season 28x150 for carnations, for 

 which the King construction will be 

 used. Lawson has here sported Enchan- 

 tress color. 



We are in receipt of some very fine 

 freesias from Eudolph Fischer, Great 

 Neck, L. L It is a special strain to 

 which he has given the name Purity. 

 Some of the stems are two feet long 

 and the bells two inches.
