The Market 



Business has taken a decidedly good 

 turn, and now is moving along at a first- 

 class clip. Something has stirred the 

 flower buying public, for a healthy de- 

 mand has developed. All of the retail 

 stores report good business, and their 

 only difficulty is to get the proper stock 

 with which to fill orders. While funeral 

 work constitutes a large part of the 

 business, there is still a healthy demand 

 for entertainments of various kinds. 



An unusual circumstance is the fact 

 that flowers of all kinds are scarce, 

 without a single exception. Everything is 

 cleaned out at the wholesale houses as 

 fast as the stock arrives, and all orders 

 received in the afternoon have to be 

 turned down. If we could just get 

 enough flowers to take care of the de- 

 mand, we would be doing a great busi- 

 ness, but the cuts from all the growers 

 are below normal. Usually at this time 

 of the year there is a surplus, and 

 though we expect a good business, there 

 is so much stock coming in that prices 

 are held very low. Now, with a scarcity, 

 prices are high, and if these conditions 

 continue they will go higher. We are 

 having some fine weather, and this ought 

 to increase the cut, but it does not ap- 

 pear to do so as much as one would 

 think. Everything considered, we are 

 well satisfied with the way things are 

 going, and if the present conditions con- 

 tinue we ought to have a fine Easter this 

 year. There ought to be a good cut of 

 stock, and it ought to bring good prices. 



From the present outlook, it would 

 seem that Easter lilies will not be so 

 plentiful this year, and that they will 

 sell at higher prices. Other varieties of 

 bulbous flowers will also bring better 

 prices, as there are not so many of them 

 being forced this year. The losses 

 which growers of this class of flowers 

 have suffered in the last few years have 

 made them careful as to how heavily 

 they go into it, and as a consequence 

 there will hardly be more than enough to 

 fill all orders. The fine, bright weather 

 we are having, if it continues, may bring 

 in a good crop of carnations, and they 

 ought to be of first-class quality. 



More dyed carnations than ever were 

 sold on St. Patrick's day, and the de- 

 mand for the green carnations seems to 

 be a settled thing. Along with them, all 

 other varieties of flowers sold well.
