The Market. 



The market has been well stocked 

 with all varieties of cut flowers the 

 last few weeks, owing to the warm 

 temperatures that have prevailed. The 

 demand is limited to a great extent by 

 the Lenten season, although there has 

 been a moderate demand for table deco- 

 rations and other decorations for social 

 functions of an informal nature. The 

 celebration of St. Patrick's day occa- 

 sioned a big demand, including decora- 

 tions for the banquets. Green carna- 

 tions met with a large demand and 

 were plentiful enough to fill all orders. 

 Funeral work has constituted a big 

 part of the business at this reason, sev- 

 eral large funerals lately keeping many 

 of the florists' forces hustling to get 

 the work out. 



Carnations are, for the most part, of 

 good quality and exceedingly plentiful. 

 In fact, all stock is in good supply, 

 with the possible exception of roses, 

 which, owing to the rather dark 



weather, are quite scarce. Antirrhinums 

 are fine now. Spencer sweet peas, tu- 

 lips, jonquils, freesias, pansies, forget- 

 me-nots and mignonette are all crowd- 

 ing the market. Plumosus and other 

 green goods are scarce. 



Various Notes. 



A new rose, a sport of Richmond, 

 has been produced by A. Shive, growej 

 for the Flick Floral Co., and is known 

 as Pink Richmond. It is an exceed- 

 ingly soft shade of deep pink and quite 

 like Richmond in size and contour. The 

 Hick Floral Co. is busy making prepa- 

 rations for Easter. They have some 

 handsome 5-foot lilacs, rhododendrons 

 and ramblers in variety. They are 

 booking Easter orders and hate sev- 

 eral decorations for opening^ after 

 Easter. 



The Doswell Floral Co. is cutting 

 some fine carnations, Spencer sweet 

 peas and bulbous stock. They have 

 been kept busy with funeral work 

 lately. 



The Bradley IMower Shop is showing 



some pretty Japanese maples and hy- 

 drangeas. They are busy making prep- 

 arations for the Easter trade. 



H. Zur Muhlin, of the Auger Flower 

 Shop, has some nice bulbous stock and 

 will have a fine showing for Easter. 



A good garden article appears in the 

 spring number of the Wildwood Maga- 

 zine, entitled "Town Gardens," by 

 Ruth R. Flick. The article is attract- 

 ively illustrated by views of Waldron, 

 the beautiful suburban Flick home. 



Among recent visitors to this city 

 was Mr. Harrie, of the A. L. Randall 

 Co., Chicago. R, R. p. 



NEW YORK. 



The Market. » 

 Nothing is so interesting this week to 

 the New York florists, wholesale and 

 retail, as the flower show. There is 

 not much change to record in values, 

 nor any change in conditions. If any- 

 thing, the market displays a hardening 

 tendency, the natural result of the rap- 

 idly approaching Easter. Great hopes
