The Market 



lousiness continues to be rather quiet, 

 rs'ow and then there is a little ripple that 

 oncdurages us to hope for better things, 

 •Jjut we are doomed to disappointment in 

 most cases. There is not the snap that 

 tliere ought to be. The buyers come 

 around and do not seem to care whether 

 tlioy buy anything or not. Of course, the 

 main reason for this attitude is that 

 they do not have any trouble in getting 

 just about what they want, so it is not 

 necessary for them to hurry in their 

 search. 



The supply of stock continues about 

 the same, also. Roses and carnations 

 are good and there is no oversupply. But 

 the fact that these flowers are being sold 

 at considerably lower prices than have 

 ever been known for the time of year 

 ipust be taken into consideration. Lilies 

 are in fair supply and demand. Violets 

 and sweet peas are doing well. 



Bulbous flowers are now coming in 

 pretty strong. Fine tulips are seen, and 

 also daffodils and Von Sion. Dutch hya- 

 cinths are on hand, as well as plenty of 

 Romans and narcissi. This class of stock 

 is selling well, all things considered. 



Various Notes. 



The next regular meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Society will be held Saturday even- 

 ing, February 13, at 8 p. m., at the sales- 

 rooms of Weiland & Olinger. A prelim- 

 inary report from all of the recently ap- 

 pointed committees will be heard. The 

 meeting will develop many points of in- 

 terest and will doubtless be largely at- 

 tended. 



Tom Windrane is away on his annual 

 visit to his ranch in Florida. 



Eugene Dailledouze, Paul Berkowitz 

 and Dr. Reiss, of Terre Haute, were 

 callers. C. J. Ohmeb.
