manner of presenting his facts and was 

 listened to with Jhe deepest interest. 

 He was in the city in the interests of 

 his firm. Another point brought up at 

 the meeting was the advisability or oth- 

 erwise of holding a flower show in the 

 city. The society decided to invite the 

 prominent men in the trade to be pres- 

 eui at a special meeting to be held 

 ,Ii:ne 17 to discuss ways and means, 

 aiid a full attendance is expected.

The Market. 



Everything is progressing nicely in 

 this neighborhood, except business, and 

 that is at a low ebb. Quite a bit of 

 June wedding work is in sight and this, 

 with a few funeral orders, is the sum 

 total of the trade at this time. All 

 kinds of flowers are plentiful and, al- 

 though there is not such a glut as we 

 had in May, there is more than enough 

 stock of ail kinds to fill requirements. 

 Much of the spring stock is over for the 

 season and the hardy annuals are in 

 evidence. Bride gladioli are over and 

 the larger flowered kinds are be- 

 coming plentiful. America bids fair 

 to be the most popular variety again 

 this year. A few dahlias are seen, but 

 it will be several weeks before they are 

 at their best. Irises of all descriptions 

 are past. Freesias, tulips, lilac, peonies 

 and all bulbous flowers have followed 

 suit. Valley is not plentiful and is 

 bought up closely. Quite a lot of Lilium 

 longiflorum are seen, but they do not 

 move quickly. The tendency of every- 

 thing is to cheapen and no increase in 

 prices can be looked for until the heavy 

 supplies are over. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Marie Jorgensen, 70 years old, a 

 patient at the German hospital, has filed 

 suit in the superior court against the 

 board of public works, their bondsmen, 

 and J. D. Ordinack, proprietor of a 

 flower stand on Powell street, near 

 Eddy, asking $10,425 damages. Mrs. 

 Jorgensen avers that she slipped, April 

 28, on stems and other refuse from the 

 flower stand and permanently iniured 

 her hip.

The Market. 



Business for Memorial day was bet- 

 ter than the average and supplies were 

 snort, but the week following there were 

 more unsold flowers than for some time, 

 ^everal firms had good orders for wed> 

 •Jings and there are more to follow, 

 '-arnations have been scarce; so much 

 stock is being shipped out of town that 

 at times there is considerable strin- 

 gency in the local stores. However, 

 this should have a tendency to help 

 prices for the next few months. In 

 ^he past carnations have been too cheap 

 in June, July and August, which also 

 'as helped to cause the short supply

 fine orchids are on offer. Peonies are 

 fine and selling well, but they are not 

 bringing the prices that prevailed when 

 nothing but officinalis rubra could be 

 procured. 



Bedding stock has sold well and the 

 season is almost over, with few unsold 

 plants of any variety in any of the
