 any diminution.

 present climatic conditions the ground 

 will soon be got in shape.

. The Market. 



Last w^ek refi^cted the general quiet- 

 ness in business and comparatively lit- 



tle call was received for cut flowers, 

 except for funeral work. Violets be- 

 came almost a glut on the market, the 

 warm days sending them out in thou- 

 sands, and the curbstone brokers had 

 large baskets to dispose of. A number 

 of large funerals, with the orders well 

 distributed, kept things from becoming 

 entirely stagnant. Bulbous stock in 

 pots and pans is coming along plenti- 

 fully and retails well.
