Violets sell in New York and some
other cities nowadays for S1.50 bunch.
There are about fifty violots in a bunch.
Notwithstanding the price there is a
great demand for them. and florists say
there would still be considerable sales il
they were $40 bunch In every ilorists
establishment there are men and girls
employed whose chief work is to fasten
artificial stems on flowers intended for
large bouquets and floral pieces. Ordi-
narily flowers do not require much hand
ling. but, owing to its frail stem, every
violet must have Il support. even for a
small bouquet. This is one reason why
violets come SO high. The end of bit
of fine florists wire is inserted into the
flower from below and tvirled around
the stem. 1t takes good while to pre-
pare very small bunch for sale-Ncw
