The Market. 



Trade for the last half of April was 

 fairly good, but stock of all kinds is 

 Po plentiful that quite a lot finds its way

 few calls for violets. Stocks and other 

 early s})ring cut flowers are moving 

 fairly well, but the supply is too large to 

 handle. . 



The florists near the cefneteries are 

 busy planting ivy and roses. Pot roses 

 are not moving so well as formerly, but 

 ivy is selling better than ever.
