The Market 



After a long and weary wait we are 

 having what we ought to have had long 

 ago; that is, fine, bright winter weather. 

 After the long period of cloudy weather 

 th« plants were in such a condition that 

 the sun caused them to wilt right down, 

 and so it had a bad effect for a while, 

 but they rapidly recovered and now a 

 marked improvement can be seen, espe- 

 cially in the carnations, which will soon 

 be blooming in fine style. It will be some 

 time before the roses will be doing what 

 they ought to do. They bloomed so 

 strong in the late fall and early winter 

 that it is only reasonable for them to 

 have a rest now. 



The condition of the market is much 

 the same as last reported. The shortage 

 is still with us, but toward the end of 

 last week the demand decreased quite a 

 good deal. The deinand for bulbous 

 flowers has been fine, owing to the scarc- 

 ity of other stock, and the price obtained 

 for them has been satisfactory. George 

 & Allan, who grow large quantities of 

 bulbous stock, have been reaping a har- 

 vest. Some fkie Dutch hyacinths are 

 coming in and they sell well at $4 to $6. 

 They are in all colors. 



Society Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' Society, which was called for 

 February 9, proved to be a disappoint- 

 ment, as not enough members responded 

 to make a quorum until so late that a 

 meeting was not held. 



There is plenty of enthusiasm for hav- 

 ing a good big flower show in this city 

 next autumn. Every one seems to think 

 that this city is ripe for such a show. 

 They think that there would be no trou- 

 ble to get the kind of stock* to make the 

 show. But when you begin to talk of 

 raising the money to back up the show, 

 there is nothing doing. The financial 

 part of a flower show is where the trou- 

 ble comes in. So,- from the present out- 

 look, the chances of there being a flower 

 show in this city next autumn are slim. 

 No one is willing to go ahead without 

 the backing and the chances of getting 

 that are small. C. J. Ohmer.
