larger than the market requires. 

 Choice sweet peas Sell well. The short 

 ones have hardly no marliet at all. 

 Single violets tind a fair request 

 while doubles are meeting with a small 

 demand. 



Another listless week 



NEW YORK in the wholesale 

 trade and by no 

 means brisk in the retail stores. The 

 supply of stock in nearly all lines, 

 from candytuft to orchids, is tremen- 

 dous and far beyond the capacity of 

 the distributing retail trade, as at 

 present developed, to digest it. Bul- 

 t)Ous material, especially tulips, is very 

 long-stemmed for the date and nearer 

 to outdoor spring product than we 

 are accustomed to see at this season. 

 Roses are in ample supply with the 

 exception of Beauties which still re- 

 main on the short side. Violets, 

 freesia. sweet peas, etc., are bringing 

 very low prices in quantity. Orchids 

 lack spirit and sales lag badly, even 

 at the low prices now prevailing. 

 Some acacia is seen in the store win- 

 dows. Gardenias are superb as to 

 quality but, like everything else, they 

 move slowly. Of carnations there is 

 an unwieldly surplus, yet those grow- 

 ers producing high-class blooms, 

 properly handled and packed are able 

 to clean up nicely every day. Many 

 inferior carnations are in evidence. 



Market c o n d i - 



PHILADELPHIA tions here last 

 week were not 

 quite so good as the week previous. 

 Not as brisk all through, although the 

 windup was pretty good. On account 

 of the longer days and brighter sun- 

 shine stocks are coming in more free- 

 ly and that undoubtedly has some-

thing to do with conditions. In addi- 

 tion, it must not be forgotten that 

 many out-of-town concerns who do a 

 local business and have a bit of glass 

 to grow in had to buy up to last week 

 — now they have enough and to spare. 

 American Beauty is still scarce. 



There is plenty of good 

 ST. LOUIS stock and the big sup- 

 ply has brought about 

 a large cut in prices. Roses are the 

 only flowers that held up in price and 

 these, too, are coming in much better 

 than they have been for some time. 



Carnations are very plentiful. Violets 

 and sweet peas have been a glut all 

 the week. In any of the bulb stocks 

 the market has a full supply daily.
