The Market. 



Business since the holidays has been 

 good and local florists have been on the 

 jump right along. Although the demand 

 for funeral work has not been heavy, 

 there has been a steady run on it and 

 each day a few nice pieces were sent 

 out. Weddings, balls and table work 

 have kept things lively and some big 

 jobs were put up. The scarcity of stock 

 has been keenly felt at times, but the 

 prospects in this respect are a little 

 brighter at present, as jonquils, tulips 

 and other bulbous stock are beginning 

 to come in. 



Eoses and carnations have been as 

 good as cash. The latter have been 

 rather scarce, but the outlook is now a 

 little better and, with a few bright 

 days, they will be in fairly good sup- 

 ply. Violets and orchids are the one 

 best bet for corsage bouquets and are 

 used up as fast as they come in. Gar- 

 denias are not quite so popular, as they 

 are hard to get here in good shape; 

 what few arrive here in good condition 

 are disposed of. Valley has been in 

 good supply and is the only flower that 

 has been up to the demand, with the 

 exception of Paper Whites. Some good 

 mignonette is to be had, as well as 

 sweet peas and freesias. Green goods 

 have been rather scarce. Azaleas, 

 rhododendrons, cyclamens, primroses 

 and a small quantity of lilacs about 

 cover the plant line, and they are in 

 good shape. K. E.
