The Market. 



Business was reported as being above 

 the normal during the last week, while 

 funeral work continued brisk and heavy. 

 Mothers' day stimulated a greatly in- 

 creased demand the latter part of the 

 week. While all white flowers were in 

 greater demand than the supply, white 

 carnations fell far short of the call. 

 As early as Wednesday al^ernoon the 

 price on white carnations began to 

 stiffen and continued until the height 

 was reached Saturday of 12^/4 and 15 

 cents each, without flowers to fill the 

 call. One large department store ad- 

 vertised in the daily papers for white 

 carnations to be distributed free to its 

 customers. Its call was for 3,000, for 

 which it offered to pay 6 cents each. 

 The florists and growers generally have 

 begun their preparations for a big 

 Memorial day rush, and already many 

 orders have been booked for wreaths 

 made of ivy, galax, magnolia and sim- 

 ilar leaves.
