The Market. 



Lansdowne, Pa. E. J. Brown has 

 taken the position of foreman for W. L. 

 Eomenter. 



Up to Thursday of last week business 

 had a tendency "to drag. Even carna- 

 tions, which have been the mainstay with 

 us all of this season, remain unsold. 

 Fancy grades were hard to move and con- 

 sequently the price was forced down to 

 2e for good ones. Roses, on the contrary, 

 were scarce, and met a very good de- 

 mand. They all sold, little and big, at 

 good prices. 



Luckily this condition of the market 

 did not "last long, as the latter portion 

 of the week brought forth very good 

 trade, both home and shipping. Carna- 

 tions regained what they had lost in 

 price and some very good ones reached 

 4 cents, wliJch is the top price for some 

 time back. Eoses came in in better sup- 

 ply, but still not enough to fill all orders. 

 Both in ro.ses and carnations, white was 

 the color most in demand. It is too bad 

 that so many of the white carnations 

 come with bursted calyxes, as it reduces 

 their value almost one-half. 



Bulbous stock was about the same as 

 last week — very slow demand, with tulips 

 almost a glut. They could not be moved 

 at any price. Although there was a big 

 demand for white flowers, still Eomans 

 and narcissus were the last flowers 

 called for. Bulbous stock are truly 

 Easter flowers, and it is then that the 

 growers of this class of stock reap their 

 harvest. 



Violets arrived in vast numbers and 

 were sold in job lots at low figures. 

 Single varieties had the call; double 

 ones were almost a drug. 



St. Patrick's Day brought quite a 

 lively demand for stock, and most every- 

 thing was cleaned out. Green carna- 

 tions, Romans, narcissus, etc, were to 

 be seen in some of the stores. They had 

 been dipped in a green dye. It is car- 

 rying things pretty far when one has 

 to dye his flowers in order to get trade, 

 I saw some of the carnations grown 

 at Mr. W. A. Procter's private place, a 

 few days ago, and they were truly the 

 best carnations grown in this vicinit.v, 

 everything taken into consideration. 

 Fine, large flowers, borne on long, stiff 

 stems, and in all the leading fancy va- 

 rieties. A visit to these greenhouses 

 .shows the plants in the best of shape, 

 and it is not to be wondered at that 

 they produce such blooms. 



An attractive Easter novelty to be 

 seen here is bulbous stock, such as tulips 

 and Dutch, planted in small boxes and 

 trimmed with a Porto Rican mat. They 

 make a nice show, and, better still, sell 

 well, 



Easter prices are as follows: Brides, 

 Bridesmaids, Meteors, ordinary grades, 

 4c to 6c ; best stock, 7c to 12e, Carna- 

 tions, fancy, 5c to 6c; medium, 4c to 

 5c; ordinary, 3c to 4c. Dutch hya- 

 cinths, 4e, 5c and 6c. Valley, 4c and 5c. 

 Narcissus, 3c and 4c. Eomans, 3c and 

 4c. Tulips, single, 3c, 4e and .5c; double, 

 4c, 5c and 6c, best varieties, Harrisii, 

 ]5c, 18c and 20c per bloom. Daffodils 

 !ind Von Sion, 4c, Violets, single and 

 double, 75e to $1 per 100, Eastern 

 ferns, 25c a 100, $2.50 a 1,000. Galax 

 leaves, $1 to $1.50 a 1,000. Leiicothoe, 

 50c to 75c a 100. Adiantum, $1 to $1.50 

 a 100. Asparagus, cut sprays, 50e to 

 75e a bunch. Everything points to a 

 large supply and fine trade.
