The Market. 



Two or three days of sunshiny, spring 

 weather last week greatly accelerated 

 business and Saturday kept everybody on 

 the jump and resulted in a general clean- 

 ing up of the stock on hand. Every- 

 where the same answer was received, 

 ''Good business." All the growers here- 

 abouts are optimistic as to the Easter 

 supply and all report good results to 

 date. It looks as though there would 

 be plenty of everything and the opinion 

 is expressed that price may not range 

 quite so high this year as on former oc- 

 casions. 



There has been a good supply and an 

 equally good demand all the week and 

 for the lenten season it exceeds all pre- 

 vious years in this city. Funeral work 

 still continues heavy and many of the 

 florists are making from six to twenty or 

 twenty-five pieces daily. At one funeral, 

 of a well known lady on the east side 

 a few days ago, there were nearly a hun- 

 dred large designs, baskets and bouquets. 



The proposal to establish a market 

 here is slowly but most certainly gaining 

 ground. Many who were formerly op- 

 posed to the idea are now among its ad- 

 vocates. I am assured that already a 

 suflBcient number of growers have be- 

 come interested in the matter to make it 

 .a success, and that the preliminary steps 

 will be taken immediately after the 

 Easter clean-up. 



Various Notes. 



The report of Secretary John J. Dunn 

 of the State Board of Agriculture rec- 

 ommends, among other things, the enact- 

 ment of laws providing for the inspec- 

 tion of all seeds sold to planters in this 

 state and also the passage of a law pro- 

 viding for the inspection of all nursery 

 stocks brought here from foreign coun- 

 tries or from any of the other states.
