The Market. 



Business last week was far beyond 

 expectations, on account of Valentine's 

 day. It was said that instead of the 

 mailmen carrying valentines, it was 

 the florist who did so. It seemed that 

 everything was needed to meet the de- 

 mand, from small pot plants to cut 

 flowers and large pot plants. Basket 

 work was also in great demand. ' It 

 seemed that the married people remem- 

 bered that their helpmates were alive 

 and needed a valentine as well as when 

 they were single. 



The arrival of Lent seems to have 

 little effect on the market. Roses are 

 scarce and all stock is cleaned up 

 quickly at good prices. American 

 Beauties are a little more plentiful, but 

 the prices seem to have slightly ad- 

 vanced. The Killarneys and Rich- 

 monds have improved considerably in 

 quality. Bulb stock is becoming more 

 plentiful. Carnations are taking a 

 backward step in price, as they are 

 coming in fast on account of the sun- 

 shiny weather. 



The wearing of white flowers on Fri- 

 day, February 14, in memory of Cap- 

 tain Scott and his four companions who 

 perished in the Antarctic storm, made 

 a large run of single flower sales. 



Various Notes 



A. F. Barbe had a heavy run t)n 

 funeral work last week and he reports 

 that trade is brisk. 



A visit to the greenhouses of R. S. 

 Brown & Son, at Englewood, is well 

 worth while, as their stock is in fine 

 shape. They will be able to supply 



tlAVE you ever tried ARTIFICIAL FLOWER Sprays and 

 Pot PJants, as well as Natural Prepared Palms, Arecas, 

 or Sak'os. Beech Branches and Maidenhair in connection with 

 your Koods in decorating? They are certainly a good substitute 

 for the natural, which at times are scarce aod expensive. My 

 goods are always of standard quality and price; no change at 

 any season. 



Give my line of Art Funeral Designs a trial. The demand is exceptional. 

 Special catalogue U. F. shows complete line.
