i^Conttnued from page 163) 



There was a 

 PHILADELPHIA shortage in sup- 

 plies last week 

 on most items with tlie exception 

 of bulbous stock and other mis- 

 cellaneous items. Roses, particular- 

 ly, were in short supply, and there 

 was very little surplus to clear out 

 to the street trade — as is usual on 

 Fridays and Saturdays. The improve- 

 ment reported last week kept up on 

 nearly all lines with a distinct harden- 

 ing in prices. The transient trade is 

 much better, and the milder weather 

 has stimulated outdoor wear in many 

 things — especially in violets, which are 

 now much more plentiful and selling 

 welL While carnations have been 

 rather plentiful the indications point 

 to a shortening up of supplies In the 

 near future, and better prices are 

 looked for. The price of gardenias has 

 not advanced any, notwithstanding the 

 smaller crops, but the clean-up has 

 been better so that average returns 

 will be improved. Cattleyas are more 

 plentiful and easier. Still a few cypri- 

 pediums are in evidence and selling 

 well. Spring flowers such as daffodils, 

 lilac, daisies, mignonette are having a 

 good run — for their own sake and also 

 in part from the shortage in roses. 

 Tulips have made their appearance. 

 Mostly whites and yellows so far. 

 Some very fine freesia is to be seen 

 around, and also splendid mignonette 

 and paper white narcissus in spots. 

 While ordinary mignonette is quoted 

 at 3 to 4, there is some extra quality 

 bringing 6. An exception over regu- 

 lar market rates is also to be noted 

 on Killarney and Maryland roses — a 

 few exceptional lots bringing 25c. 

 Pussy willows are in good demand for 

 giving a rakish touch to a spring 

 hunch.

Detroit reports that roses are very 

 scarce at present, giving the grower 

 the advantage of cleaning up daily 

 at a good figure, with the retailer 

 hustling for a fair profit on what little 

 he sells. 



The flower market of late has been 

 very good at Twin Cities. Minn. On 

 account of much cloudy weather in 

 December and this month violets are 

 rather scarce. Carnations are soft 

 and almost everything in cut flowers 

 is lacking in quality.
