The Market. 



Trade has been decidedly good dur- 

 ing the last week for both wholesale 

 and retail stores. There has been a 

 heavy call for funeral work, as well as 

 tor decorations. Carnations have been 

 plentiful in all grades; the best, at $3 

 per hundred, were all cleaned up, while 

 there was some oversupply in the 

 cneaper grades. Sweet peas are arriv- 

 ing in greater quantities and are of 

 good grade, selling for $4 to $6 per 

 hundred. There has been a shortage 

 in daffodils on account of the florists 

 holding them for use during display 

 week, from March 23 to 26. Violets, 

 valley and marguerites are all in good 

 supply and sell quite well. 



A heavy call was made upon the flo- 

 rists for the opening performance of a 

 play called "A College Hero," at the 

 leading theater of this city. This was 

 run for the entire week and was given 

 by some local people for the benefit of 

 a local hospital, and numerous bouquets 

 and baskets were sent to the leading 

 members of the play. 



Various Notes. 



At the greenhouses of Bellamy Bros, 

 everything is in fine shape for Easter. 

 They have a case of Jamesii lilies in 

 fine shape, worthy of particular men- 

 tion. All bulbs came with little dis- 

 ease, quite strong and well filled with 

 buds. The general report of lilies is 

 that they are short-stemmed this year. 

 The giganteums are strong and well 

 budded, but not over eighteen inches in 

 height. 



At the store of the Pierce-Christian 

 Co. the writer found the members of 

 the new company in exuberant spiritp 

 over their opening. By special efforts 

 they succeeded in getting the store in 

 shape Friday night and arranged their 

 plants and flowers, and were ready for 

 business Saturday morning. The store 

 was quite attractive, with a choice col- 

 lection of plants and cut flowers in 

 good selection. They received visitors 

 during the day and gave each lady a 

 rose as a souvenir. In addition to the 

 sales of plants and cut flowers, they 

 had considerable funeral work to do, 

 among which was a large pall. 



The Chamber of Commerce is inaugu- 

 rating an opening week for all stores

in the city, calling it "display week," 

 and selecting daffodils, tulips and hya- 

 cinths as the representative flowers for 

 the week. The purpose is to have all 

 the stores make a special effort for the 

 display of spring goods at this time. 

 The merchants have taken hold of the 

 proposition in good shape and have 

 made a heavy call on the florists for 

 decorations. The call has been for 

 potted plants and baskets. All the 

 available palms and ferns are being 

 used for the display.
