The Market. 



One week has tlianged conditions in 

 tl\e wliolesale liouses. Lilies, which were 

 a glut, have almost disappeared; carna- 

 tions are short of the demand; smilax is 

 very scare; however, roses more than 

 make /-T>}) tl)e shortage in other 

 stockf as they are coming in quantities 

 thay have been appalling. Business was 

 oifTy ordinary up to Saturday, when de- 

 mand took a spurt and everyone was 

 cleaned out by night. Some local lilac 

 came in last week, but was not very 

 good. Violets are finished for the sea- 

 son. 



Retailers were jogging along in a 

 leisurely way; no excitement of any 

 kind, and report trade about the same 

 as last year at this time, although they 

 have good orders booked for weddings, 



Various Notes. 



Growers have been busy planting out 

 carnations. Most of them have com- 

 pleted the task and are praying for 

 rain, as the continued high wind and 

 several hot days have made things look 

 quite dry in the carnation fields. Plant- 

 ing was a little later than last season, 

 but many of them were caught in the 

 freeze last year and arranged to miss it 

 this season. 



Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Elliott, who have 

 been at Los Angeles for more than a 

 year, returned last Friday. Ben does 

 not know whether it is for a visit or. 

 permanent. If he gets into something 

 good he will remain here. 



Henry Ludwig returned Monday from 

 a trip to Canada, where he has been ar- 

 ranging for camping grounds for the 

 club of which he is a member. 



\ Hoo-Hoo. 



William E. Watson, aged 38, formerly 

 a florist in this city, died May 8 at El 

 Paso, Tex., where he had been spending 

 the winter. Death was due to pulmon- 

 ary trouble, with which Mr. Watson had 

 been afflicted for several years. Mr. 

 Watson Avas born in the Squirrel Hill 

 district of this city and several years 

 ago was engaged in the florist business 

 on Smithneld street. Owing to failing 

 health he spent most of his time at dif- 

 ferent resorts and watering places. The 

 body was brought home for burial.
