The Market. 



For Lenten season last week was good. 

 Decorations for churches, openings, etc., 

 have been on the carpet, and stock has 

 "^ moved very satisfactorily. Everything 

 in the bulb line is plentiful and good. 

 White roses are scarce, but there are 

 plenty red and pink. Carnations are 

 plentiful. The demand for white carna- 

 tions was noticeable the latter part of 

 the week, to be colored for St. Patrick's 

 day. Easter plants are coming on in 

 good shape, and the promise is for a 

 good supply for the holidays.
