The Weekly Florists' Review. 



<UABY 24, 1901. 



$3; extra fanev, $4; and very few 

 were sold below "$2 per 100. 



In bulbous stock Romans and paper 

 wliites are selling well and there is not 

 the marked glut generally noticeable 

 at this time of the year' $3 and .$4 

 are the prices for first pickings. Cal- 

 las are in demand at 15 cents each. 

 Harrisii and tulips are still out of the 

 market and none tO' be had. Some ex- 

 tra fine valley is coming in which brings 

 .$3 and $4 : short-stemmed flowers, how- 

 ever, can be had at $2. A few sweet 

 peas are coming in which are fine and 

 go at .$4 per 100. Violets are moving 

 easier than they have and the glut has 

 been relieved somewhat. Some very large 

 orders have been filled the past week at 

 rM cents per 100 in 1,000 lots; hundred 

 lots go at GO cents. 



At the wholesale houses flowers in all 

 lines have been cleaned up the past week 

 at good prices; carnations averaging $2 

 and roses about $6, with other flowers 

 well up. Messrs. Kuehn, Ellis and Bern- 

 ing are well pleased with the business 

 they have done so far this year.
