The Market 



Business is a little quiet now, but such 

 a state of things is always looked for im- 

 mediately after a holiday. Every day 

 shows an increase in the supply of stock 

 and a corresponding decrease in its 

 value. It begins to look now as if the 

 usual spring oversupply of stock is upon 

 us. Such being the case, it will not be 

 many days till the retailer will have the 

 market his own way. We are having a 

 spell of regular summer weather and the 

 stock, especially roses, is showing the ef- 

 fects of it. Carnations are good in qual- 

 ity, but the bright sun is bringing them 

 in by the thousands. There is not much 

 coming in from outdoors, but if the pres- 

 ent warm weather holds out it will not be 

 long till it is here in large quantities. 

 Green goods are selling well and this 

 class of goods will soon be on the scarce 

 side. Spring weddings will use great 

 quantities of it, and wild smilax and 

 strings of asparagus and smilax will be 

 in great demand. 



Various Notes. 



The monthly meeting of the Florists' 

 Society was held in the club room on the 

 evening of April 17. It was well at- 

 tended and a great deal of business was 

 done. A report from the financial com- 

 mittee was heard and there was also a 

 report from the souvenir book commit- 

 tee. Both of these reports show that 

 much progress is being made and are 

 very encouraging. A special meeting of 

 the executive board will be held this week 

 and then all committees will be expected 

 to make thorough reports. This is to 

 keep a line on all of the work being done 

 and to see that no point is being over- 

 looked. 



William Murphy and Thomas Windran 

 left April 20 for a two weeks' trip 

 through the south. They will spend most 

 of their time in Florida. 



William Murphy, superintendent of the 

 trade exhibit, is receiving many applica- 

 tions for space at the coming convention. 

 As yet he is not in a position to reserve 

 space, but within a couple of weeks 

 everything will be in working order and 

 then allotments will be made as rapidly 

 as possible. 



B. P. Critchell is in with a crop of 

 snapdragons that are certainly fine. They 

 are the best we have ever seen in this 

 city and are selling well. C. J. Ohmer. 



Bay City, Mich. — H. F. Potratz and 

 C, B. Schweers have bought the Wm. 

 Keuther greenhouses and will continue 

 the business under the firm name of 

 Potratz & Schweers.
