LARGE CALL FOR FUNERAL FLOWERS.— STOCK SHORT OF THE DEMAND BUT SUP- PLIES ON THE INCREASE. — VARIOUS LOCAL DOINGS OF TRADE INTEREST. Trade conditions average about the same this week as the previous one. The weather outlook is brighter and a larger amount of stock will be produced and the market witness a drop on inferior stock, which heretofore has been sold to good advantage, especially if of light shade, as funeral work has been heav3'. Tea roses have been in very limited sup- ply for the past month, with prices rang- ing from $6 to $10 per hundred, and hardly any red to meet calls, which had a tendency to draw them up to $12. Beauties are hardly obtainable here. Violets and carnations are appearing in larger quantities and every day shows an increase. Ralph Lathom, of the Wm. Donald- son Company, reports a busy week, mostly funeral work. This department of the Donaldson Company has certainl3' made a showing for itself, and the green- houses are visited by many persons of the flower-loving habit, where James Souden sees every plan for improvement and producing carefully carried out. John Monson had large funeral orders last week. Some floral pieces were made which reached $50 each. He says the Minneapolis Floral Company is doing its share of business. Hans Rosacher is marketing violets which are prize winners. Princess of Wales shows its colors here in great shape. C. F. Rice has been at Anoka for a day or two, shooting cottontails with D. O. Pratt. A. S. Swanson has a beautilul display of spring stock in the store. H. Sauer & Son report their supply short of the demand. C. F. R. BiLLERiCA, Mass.—C. A. Backer, a Boston business man, is preparing to go into the carnation business here and will start with a house 30x225, for which Lord & Burnham have the contract.
