The Market. I'lices of flowers are coming down and no one is more pleased than the retailers Many of them have confessed during the last year or two that they were ashamed to charge the prices they have had to, at the high prevailing wholesale figures. Lt is a fact that trade was driven away by high prices. Many persons who formerly made frequent purchases of flowers at $1 or $)0 stopped buying entirely. Even- tually, if lower prices continue, such small customers will come back, but it will take many months to get back to the former volume of business in this re- spect. Prices will jump again at Easter, but are not likely to go as high as they did last year. Various Notes. Charles Lutliy. 3G3 Springfield avenue, reports much funeral work for the last few weeks, making aggregate returns quite satisfactory, considering the unset- tled conditions. Connelly & Plunkett, 149 Bloomfield avenue, report the volume of business done so far this year exceeds the amount done during the corresponding months of last year. The outlook for Easter io excellent. R- B. M. BRAMPTON, ONT. Everything points to an Easter that should delight the florists. There are plenty of fine lilies that will come in almost on the minute and roses are well timed likewise. Carnations will be more plentiful than last year and there are plenty of sweet peas and other stock to take the place of bulbous flowers, whicli carry so little profit. Violets may last out with cooler weather, but if spring continues in its present mood, the chances are against both quality and quantity in this article. Business has been brisk with some and slack with others during the month of February, but \V. G. Peacock, who has just returned from a trip to Mon- treal, found that there was plenty of funeral work going on
