The Market 



Trade during tlie past week was good. 

 The weatlier, wliicb started out fOol an 1 

 nice, soon turned warmer, and now we 

 aie having- regular spring weatlier. 



Stock is suffering in consequence, and 

 roses and carnations are getting soft. 

 Koses are losing tlieir color, too. Beau- 

 ties are much shorter in supply and 

 good ones are scarce. Short-stemmed 

 ones can be had in limited quantities. 

 The supply of Lil)erties has dropped to 

 almost nothing. Brides, too, as a rule, 

 are hard to get. Maids and Gates are 

 in better shape. A good many Meteors 

 are coming in, but they are very jioor. 



Carnations are gradually increasing 

 ii: supply, but the warm weather has 

 been very hard on them, and the quality 

 is suffering. Man}' are coming with 

 bursted calyxes. 



A great variety of bulbous stock i^^ 

 beginning to arrive. Tulips are in in 

 good quantities and bring from .3 to ."> 

 cents. Von Sions also made their tirst 

 :ippearance this week, for which 5 cents 

 was asked, but 4 cents would be a good 

 price. White Dutch hyacinths are also 

 in and bring 6 cents. They are selling 

 well. C'allas are moving well and Har- 

 risii lilies are a very good article to 

 have, especially so as they bring $2.50 

 per dozen, and .$20 by the 100. Bomans 

 and narcissus arc in good supjily and 

 are selling well. Valley is also in good 

 demand and some fine stock is to be 

 had. 



Violets, both single and double are 

 coming in by the thousands and the mar- 

 ket is fast becoming overstocked with 

 them. The quality is very good, but the 

 price is dropping rapidly and only the 

 very Iiest reach as high as $1 per 100: 

 others considerably less. 



On January 2!) the anniversary of 

 President McK.inle}'"s birth, there was 

 a very lively demand for carnations. 

 Thousands were sold for this purpose, 

 but there were not nearly enough and 

 anything like a carnation bloom w-as 

 sold.
