The Market. 



The carnival season brought thou- 

 s^ds of visitors to our delightful city, 

 and the elegant balls and receptions 

 given by the different carnival organi- 

 zations, clubs and private parties led 

 the florists, especially the storekeepers, 

 a busy life. AH the flower stores were 

 lavishly decorated with the choicest 

 products of the season and from every- 

 where satisfactory business results 

 have been reported. 



During the present month all kinds 

 of weather were experienced here — 

 frost, rain and sunshine, sometimes all 

 on one day, and on the afternoon of 

 February 16 there was a hail storm, 

 brief in its duration, but heavy enough 

 to cause anxiety among the florists and 

 truck farmers. At present we are enjoy- 

 iiipj real spring weather. 



Bull>ous stock is still plentiful and 

 the first Italian and miniature Dutch 

 hyacinths arc making their appearance. 

 Single violets, pansies, candytuft, etc., 

 are the outdoor flowers to be cut here 

 at present, though they are seldom in 

 great demand. 



There is great activity among the 

 truck farmers and the local products 

 are bringing top-notch prices. The bad 

 weather up to now hurt our lettuce 

 crops again and endive and escarolle 

 are still showing the efl!ects of the 

 frost. Other goods are in fair supplv.
