The Market. 



Business last week was better than 

 expected. The cut flower market had a 

 good run. Funeral work was heavier 

 than usual. Decorations for weddings 

 are still holding out well; in fact, June 

 decorations this year* show a large in- 

 crease over last year. Outdoor cut 

 flowers are coming in more plentifully, 

 but are poorer than usual for this time 

 of year, on account of the unusually 

 dry weather. The quality of the in- 

 door cut flowers is also showing the ef- 

 fect of the hot, dry summeir days, though 

 the quantity is abundant. Roses are in 

 heaviest demand and Killarneys are the 

 leaders. Easter lilies are selling fast, 

 especially for funerals, and are cleaned 

 up rapidly. Carnations bring fair prices 

 for so late in the season, but they are 

 small. Sweet peas and gladioli are ar- 

 riving more heavily than last week. 

 Asters are i>n the market and are.jgood 

 for this early date. 



Various Notes. 



E. H. Frandsen & Co., on the Spring 

 Branch road, met with some trouble 

 last week; it seems that luck is against 

 them at least once a year. The delivery 

 boy laid a cigarette on the desk in the 

 oflSce and set fire to the building, also 

 burning from one-third to one-half of 

 six greenhouses and all the boiler fix- 

 tures. The damage is estimated at 

 $2,500. Mr. Frandsen was severely 

 burned. 



Patrick Larkin, who started business 

 on East Twelfth street, has been ap- 

 pointed clerk of the police commission- 

 ers. This position nets him a salary of 

 $2,400 a year. 



Ed Ellsworth reports that his spring 

 business was immense and that he sold 

 out everything in the bedding line. 

 Funeral work has been keeping him ex- 

 ceedingly busy of late. 



L. G. Brown has finished planting his 

 mums, which look quite promising. He 

 has been kept exceptionally busy dec- 

 orating. 



Nelson Jarrett is through with his 

 spring work and is now busy in his 

 cherry orchard. He says that cherries 

 are easy to sell, but it is difl5cult to get 

 pickers. 



Chas. E. Heite is anxiously awaiting 

 the finishing of the planting in the 

 greenhouses, so he can start on his fish- 

 ing trips, and he has all the good fish- 

 ing places spotted. 



Jacob Tobler has had a fine business 

 this year, with a large increase over
