The Southwestern Market. 



The cut flower market last week was 

 in good condition, there being plenty 

 of stock, most of it of excellent qual- 

 ity, with prices much lower than the 

 week previous. The retailers say they 

 put in a busy week with a lot of good 

 social work. Work of this kind is al- 

 most all confined to the west end flo- 

 rists, but the downtown florists, and 

 also the north and south-enders, report 

 good business all through the week. In 

 looking over the different markets dur- 

 ing the week ending February 21 we 

 found them well supplied daily, espe- 

 cially with violets and sweet peas. Ex- 

 cellent stock sold as low as 25 cents per 

 hundred, with extra fancies at about 

 double this price. The downtown flo- 

 rists bought many thousands daily, and 

 sold them as low as 10 cents per bunch. 

 The prospects for this week are about 

 the same. 



Carnations in the fancy grades are 

 about equal to the demand, but the 

 lower grades are overplentiful. Roses 

 are holding their own. The new crop is 

 just beginning to come in, and, with 

 the Lenten season before us, it looks as 

 if they will crowd the markets soon. 

 Bulbous stock, too, is in quite heavy 

 supply, and there ^re plenty of tulips, 

 jonquils, Von Sions and valley; more 

 than enough for the demand last week.
