The wholesalers clear their supplies all too soon, witli many of the orders filled only in part. Heavy funeral work re- corded a good week for the retailers. The plantsmen now are more active and contemplate a good spring trade. Some of them have advanced prices of geraniums and other stock, Imt others cling to tiie lower prices, apj)arently feeling tliat better prices will turn the sales to some other source of supply. In some instances these growers would make more money if they wiiolesaled their stock, tliereby leaving the market steady for those wlio are cajiable of en- forcing higlier prices.
