The Market 



Last week the market was in a demor- 

 alized condition. Everything in season is 

 coming in large consignments and in all 

 grades. The heavy supply could not be 

 consumed by the small local demand last 

 week. The fine weather of late has sent 

 things along with a rush. Boses are sell- 

 ing at a low figure, and unless extra good 

 nobody seems to want them at any price. 

 Carnations are of extra good quality. 

 Of these it can only be said that the 

 condition is the same as in roses. Sweet 

 peas seem to be the best sellers of any- 

 thing in the market. At present these, 

 while plentiful, seem to clean up fairly 

 well each day, and only the poorer 

 grades are left over. Violets are done 

 for this season, as only a few are coming 

 in now. The call for valley is erratic, 

 though of extra good quality. Callas 

 and Harrisii are crowded up. The latter 

 is selling as low as $5 per hundred 

 blooms. Double white and purple lilac 

 are selling well. Of the single varieties 

 there are too many just now. There is 

 a good call for smilax and other fancy 

 greens. Fancy ferns are becoming scarce. 

 The common dagger will soon take their 

 place. 



Various Notes. 



William C. Smith is sporting a new 

 horse and buggy. It made its first ap- 

 pearance in the parks Sunday, April 25. 



John Connon, of Webster Grove, was 

 a caller last week, and says that he had 

 the best Easter trade in years. Mr. Con- 

 non is cutting some good quality of 

 stock.

 an ordinary boiler feed pump. "Detroit" Return Traps
