The Market 



The week has shown quite a change 

 over the previous one in the flower mar- 

 ket. Plenty of stock of all kinds is com- 

 ing in and business is only just fair. 

 Koses and carnations are showing the 

 effects of the warm weather. Beauties, 

 Killarneys and sweet peas are selling 

 well. Lilies, feverfew, valley and candy- 

 tuft sell slowly. Some peonies are to be 

 had, but the local season is about over. 

 The plant trade still hangs on. Good 

 geraniums are scarce and Boston ferns 

 are at a premium. The florists at the 

 flower market report business only fair.

 Sons, has accepted a position in the
