an improvement in the values of carna- 

 tions and all the other items. Carna- 

 tions are not in large supply, consider- 

 ing the strength of the demand, and 

 the quality of a considerable part of 

 the receipts is below what is required 

 for shipping orders. The result is that 

 there is a wide margin between what 

 different growers are realizing. 



Cattleyas have come in heavily and 

 there is now no shortage in the orchid 

 department. Prices have fallen to a 

 point where retailers have no cause for 

 complaint, but this does not go far 

 toward stimulating the demand. Sweet 

 peas have come in heavily and the 

 stock is exceptionally good for so early 

 in the year. The weather is too cold 

 for a good clean-up in this department 

 and in violets. For these flowers to 

 sell out clean each day weather is 

 necessary which will permit the wear- 

 ing of flowers on the streets and their 

 sale there. Gardenias are doing better. 

 There now is a local supply and little 

 eastern stock is seen. A full line of 

 bulb stock is offered, including tulips 

 in practically all the colors, but with- 

 out much stem. Jonquils are in. The 

 shortage of white roses has turned con- 

 siderable business to the bulbous flow- 

 ers suitable for funeral work, on which 

 usual prices still prevail. There are 

 moderate supplies of Easter lilies and 

 callas. The greens market is quiet. 



Building Project Progressing. 



Good progress is being made on the 

 project for a florists' building on Mar- 

 ket street. A meeting was held at the 

 office of Hoerber Bros., January 14, and 

 another at the office of Wietor Bros.,

January 18, at which details were dis- 

 cussed. A paper has been circulated 

 to find out how many were interested 

 and .how much space would be required 

 in a building to hotise the trade. Nine- 

 teen wholesalers signed for approx- 

 imately 60,000 feet of space. It is now 

 proposed to organize a corporation to 

 take a twenty years' lease on the en- 

 tire building and sublet to the various 

 wholesalers. The idea is for the cor- 

 poration to operate the building, the 

 lighting plant, the refrigerating plant, 

 etc., and to accumulate a fund out of 



which the wholesalers are to be recom- 

 pensed for the losses they will sustain 

 on their present leases, which •will 

 have anywhere from eight months to 

 four years to run at the date the new 

 building is expected to be completed.
