ket is •never without an abundant supply. 

 Bonnet & Blake are painting their 

 store, on Livingston street, Brooklyn, and 

 kicking for more room. W. H. Kuebler 

 has the same complaint registered, lack 

 of space, but neither of these wholesale 

 firms has any complaint to make of the 

 volume of trade and the progress of the 

 last year. Harry Crawbuck has a mo- 

 nopoly of the green goods trade in the 

 City of Churches and a big field to cover.

PHILADELPHIA. 



The Rlsin^f Eastern Market. 



The market conditions last week were 

 not all that might have been desired. The 

 supply is not large, comparatively speak- 

 ing, and the business is not quite up to 

 the standard. The weather is favorable 

 for roses and carnations, the latter com- 

 ing in strong. Beauties are going slowly, 

 for the demand is not so heavy as in 

 former years at this season. Killarney 

 sells well. The fancy grades are bring- 

 ing a fair price. Bridesmaid in the 

 fancy grades cleans up well, while with 

 Bride it is the reverse, the shorter grades 

 being the most sought after for funeral 

 work, of which there has been quite a 

 lot. Red roses have not sold so well, the 

 supply being greater than the demand. 



There are too many carnations at the 

 present time. All the growers are cut- 

 ting heavily and the demand is slow. 

 Yellow daisies are fine and are used ex- 

 tensively in baskets and window decora- 

 tions. Violets, single and double, are 

 moving slowly, as is also valley, which is 

 fine, but the supply is too great. Cat- 

 tleyas and cypripediums are in fair de- 

 mand. Mignonette and greens are sell- 

 ing well. Cornflower has made its ap- 

 pearance and is much sought after. Lav- 

 ender peas and freesia in the fancy 

 grades are quickly taken up, but the 

 shorts hang fire. 



Various Notes. 



M. Eice & Co. are showing some new 

 and novel effects in hearts for St. Val- 

 entine's day. They report that so far 

 this month business is far ahead of last 

 January.

 small beginning and is well pleased with 

 the patronage he is receiving in his new 

 quarters.
