The Market. 



With a rise in temperature, business 

 has also risen to a brisker pace. The 

 week began with a rush for the retail- 

 ers, wh^eii still keeps up. A large per- 

 centage " of the business done was 

 funeral work, for an unusual number 

 of deaths have occurred in the last 

 few weeks. Luncheons and dinners 

 are numerous, making a great demand 

 for cut flowers. Shipments were dam- 

 aged considerably by the cold. 



Carnations are arriving in great 

 quantities and are much reduced > in 

 price. Pink Delight is the best seller 

 just now. It is also best in quality 

 and seems to put Pink Enchantress in 

 the background for popularity. Orchids 

 are abundant and go for almost any 

 price, to be used in funeral work, bas- 

 kets, bunches and corsages. Several 

 boxes of orchids were somewhat nipped 

 by the frost when they arrived. Cypri- 

 pediums are coming more and more into 

 favor with our flower buyers, but they 

 are not plentiful at present. Beauties 

 are poor and scarce, most of our supply 

 coming from Philadelphia. Good lilacs 

 and sweet peas are also arriving from 

 that market. 



Tulips, daffodils and narcissi have 

 been used most profusely for decora- 

 tions of all sorts during the last few 

 weeks, since the trade has tired of 

 winter flowers. Freesia is still scarce. 

 Lavender primrose sprays are used a 

 great deal with daffodils and yellow 

 tulips and make a charming combina- 

 tion of lavender and yellow for lunch- 

 eon and dinner tables. Tulips, in white, 

 pink, red and yellow, are combined 

 with lily of the valley in pots and are 

 much in demand. Fancy plant baskets 

 are not selling well, since there are so 

 many azaleas, primroses, camellias, 

 cyclamens and bnlbs offered for sale. 



The cold weather has kept the street 

 fakers out of sight, and consequently 

 sales have been larger and prices 

 better.
