The Market 



Business the first part of last week 

 was a little slow, with just enough doing 

 to keep stock on the move and enable the 

 florist to lay in a good supply for All 

 Saints' day, and, according to reports 

 from all quarters, the demand for flowers 

 for All Saints' day cleared up every- 

 thing. Saturday morning, October 30, 

 as the market gardeners and farmers 

 came in to market, they brought Avith 

 them great quantities of outdoor chrys- 

 anthemums. This, of course, naturally 

 made the florists feel a little doubtful as 

 to- how they would dispose of their stock, 

 but as the afternoon and evening came 

 on prospects brightened; consequently, 

 all were satisfied with their trade; so, 

 taking business in general, last week was 

 a good one. 



Funeral designing in the last few days 

 has been quite plentiful, as several prom- 

 inent citizens have died. While at the 

 present time there is an abundance of 

 chrysanthemums of all qualities on the 

 market, they sell remarkably well. 

 Carnations and roses are also holding 

 their own. There are but few Lilium 

 giganteum on the market now, and it is 

 just as well, as the growers are anxious 

 to dispose of their chrysanthemum crops. 

 Callas are again putting in their appear- 

 ance. The election last week was greatly 

 beneficial to the florist, as there was a 

 splendid demand for first-class stock. 

 Nothing was too good for the newly- 

 elected oflScers. It is said that the 

 reelected mayor's ofBce was completely 

 swamped with flowers.
