The Market. 



An indication of the Easter activities 

 was given last week in the increased 

 call for potted plants in bud, and in the 

 inquiries concerning the prices for cut 

 flowers for Easter week. Business on 

 the whole showed a big improvement 

 during the week, with the usual amount 

 of funeral work. The advent of St. 

 Patrick's day so close to Easter had its 

 effect upon the situation, as large quan- 

 tities of white carnations and roses 

 were used for "greening." Shamrocks 

 were much in . evidence and sold well.
