The Market. 



Trade conditions are about the same 

 as last week. There is, however, an 

 accumulation of bulbous stock, such as 

 tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, which 

 necessitated Saturday sales at greatly 

 reduced prices. Violet sales have also 

 begun. The demand for George "Wash- 

 ington novelties was not so great as 

 was expected. A few artificiad cherry 

 trees, ardisias and red, white and blue 

 flowers were used mostly. There are 

 a large number of funeral orders at 

 present, but general trade is only fair. 

 The weather continues cold and ship- 

 ments from long distances are received 

 partly frozen. 



Various Notes. 



W. J. Palmer & Son report that val- 

 entine business was fine. Corsages sold 

 best, with boxes of flowers and plants 

 next in order. The branch store reports 

 its business the biggest ever, with vio- 

 lets entirely cleaned up. 



S. A. Anderson had a busy week with 

 funeral designs and clusters for the 

 funeral of Dr. Eoswell Park, and J. J. 

 Kennedy, treasurer of New York state. 

 Many large, handsome and costly de- 

 signs were sent by the city and state 

 officials. S. A. Anderson made a busi- 

 ness trip to Rochester recently. 



William Greever did a fine wedding 

 decoration at Depew, N. Y., February 

 18. 



^ Joseph Sangster has had a brisk busi- 

 ftess recently. He has had a number 

 of funeral pieces, besides fancy valen- 

 tine orders. 



Business with L. H. Neubeck is excel- 

 lent. He is the great plant specialist 

 of our city and always sells more plants 

 than cut flowers February 14, 



Slattery & Beyers say that trade is 

 good with them.

 Cyrus W, Phillips, of Rochester, extend- 

 ing the New England "blue laws"
