NEW HAVEN, CONN. 



The Market. 



Business has been fairly good, but 

 the demand for cut flowers has fallen 

 off to some extent during the last week. 

 Bulbous stock is plentiful, some of the 

 local florists offering daffodils and tu- 

 lips as a special March 1 at 35 cents 

 per dozen. Funeral orders are quite 

 heavy and all the florists seem to be 

 getting their share. Carnations and 

 sweet peas of choice quality are more 

 plentiful, but the supply of choice 

 roses is reported by some to be short. 



Various Notes. 



A. Ostermann reports business as be- 

 ing good, with orders for funeral work 

 heavy. His store is attractive. 



The S, H. Moore Co. reports business 

 quite satisfactory. Funeral orders were 

 exceptionally heavy last week. Hya- 

 cinths and tulips in pots and pans are 

 selling well. The window was attrac- 

 tive with bulbous stock, specimen aza- 

 leas and ferns. 



Champion & Co. had an attractive 

 window display of azaleas, choice cycla- 

 mens, and a few genistas and roses, 

 which reminded one of the near ap- 

 proach of Easter. Recently they have 

 been kept quite busy with decoration 

 orders. 



Charles Munro, the Chapel street 

 florist, reports funeral orders quite 

 heavy and other business fairly good. 

 He had a special sale of tulips and 

 daffcfdils March 1, which cleaned up a 

 lot of stock. Erica melanthera was 

 pretty in his window. At his green- 

 house^ on Townsend avenue, everything

is in fine shape. Rhododendrons and 

 lilacs are specially good, finely set and 

 just right for Easter. His house of 

 lilies is coming along nicely, also two 

 long benches of spirasas. Hyacinths and 

 tulips in pots and pans are grown in 

 large quantities for the store trade, 

 also thousands of these and daffodils 

 have just been brought in for the 

 Easter business. .Just at present there 

 is a house of Bicolor Victoria which are 

 readily picked up in the store. The 

 most attractive feature at this plant 

 just now is the house of azaleas, which

presents a truly magnificent sight. Mr. 

 Munro says he finds no trouble in dis- 

 posing of these in the store. Roses, 

 principally "White Killarney and Kil- 

 larney, are grown in quantity here; 

 they are a little off crop at present, but 

 have every indication of being in heavy 

 crop around Easter. 



W^m. H. Long has been quite busy 

 with funeral work; otherwise he reports 

 trade rather dull. He had an attrac- 

 tive window of bulbous stock, both cut 

 and in pots and pans, also choice roses, 

 carnations and sweet peas. M. B. F.
