We had a taste of real winter last week, when the thermometer dropped to 12 degrees above zero. However, there was plenty of sunshine during the week and it helped production to a great degree. Although there is no surplus on the market, yet there is enough to sup- ply the demand, which has accelerated since Washington's birthday, particu- larly in funeral work. Many of the re- tail stores had extra help in order to get out all the funeral pieces. Social af- fairs were numerous also
. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. 92 The Florists^ Review March 6, 1919 FORT WAYNE, IND. The Market. We had a taste of real winter last week, when the thermometer dropped to 12 degrees above zero. However, there was plenty of sunshine during the week and it helped production to a great degree. Although there is no surplus on the market, yet there is enough to sup- ply the demand, which has accelerated since Washington's birthday, particu- larly in funeral work. Many of the re- tail stores had extra help in order to get out all the funeral pieces. Social af- fairs were numerous also, probably on account of the proximity of the Lenten season. Counter trade was exception- ally brisk. Bulbous stock is not any too plentiful and the best grades are bought up as soon as the stock arrives on the market. Narcissi are scarce. Carnations are on the short side and prices remain firm. Boses are bringing top-notch prices, es- pecially for the selects in such varieties as Eussell, Columbia, Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty. Spencer sweet peas are more plentiful and sell readily. Prices on violets remain firm and the call for them is good. Cinerarias are being offered in excel- lent quality and find a ready market. Easter lily plants are being offered in limited quantities. Primroses are in fine form and prices obtained for them are satisfactory. There is a scarcity of almost every variety of greens, excessive funeral work having depleted the supply. Various Notes. A. J. Lanternier & Sons executed a large moose head in flowers for the flower festival of the Moose lodge last week. They also had elaborate decorations for the auditorium and receiving rooms of the Moose building. Private George W. Doswell, of the Doswell Floral Co., has been discharged from the army and has arrived home from Camp McClellan, Alabama. He will take up his work again at the store. Mrs. Clem Lanternier is spending a week's vacation in Toledo, O. Miss Ruth Lanternier is assisting in the store durin
