they cleaned up pretty well for all 

 that. Cattleya Mossiae is the bright 

 particular star in the orchid market, 

 at present bringing 50 to 60 cents 

 without any trouble. Lilies and callas 

 are both plentiful and prices on the 

 easy side. Another week will see the 

 after-Easter flush of these a back num- 

 ber and prices will revert to normal. 

 Daffodils and tulips are a strong fea- 

 ture, some very fine stock in both be- 

 ing offered. 



Two heavy snow- 



PITTSBURGH falls, with the dark 

 cloudy weather at- 

 tendant for several days, considerably 

 retarded the development of blooms 

 to some extent last week. This is 

 especially noticeable in the Eastern 

 Ohio and Western Virginia sections, 

 where business otherwise is almost 

 phenomenally prosperous. Business 

 in this city continues good. Warmer 

 and brighter weather now gives 

 promise of an increased supply of 

 material of all kinds. 



Business has been 



ROCHESTER fairly good through- 

 out the week. The 

 supply of roses is large and of good 

 quality. Violets are still on the mar- 

 ket but not very good. Callas and 

 lilies are in fair supply, also snap- 

 dragons. Stocks in various shades 

 sell well. Mignonette, daisies in yel- 

 low and white, and bachelor buttons 

 are seen. Tulips, daffodils and nar- 

 cisus are being cleaned up. Sweet 

 peas are very plentiful and in good 

 quality. 



With the curtailed 



ST- LOUIS supply last week, 

 prices stiffened, espe- 

 cially on carnations. The supply of 

 sweet peas is not so heavy as it was. 

 Greens are selling well. 



Business fell off 



WASHINGTON last week to an 

 alarming extent 

 with the coming of weather such as 

 had not been seen here during the 

 second week in April for many years 

 The hail beat down outdoor flowers 

 and plants and the snow, heavy and 

 wet, broke glass in the houses. Wash- 

 ington was also visited by an earth- 

 quake, but no damage resulted. The 

 supply of flowers slackened as a re- 

 sult of the weather conditions, al- 

 though there was an accumulation of 

 roses, carnations and sweet peas at 

 the wholesale houses. The business 

 of the week was confined very largely 

 to funeral work, many desirable or- 

 ders being booked by the retailers. 

 White roses sold best. The price on 

 sweet peas dropped. Orchids failed to 

 sell and mignonette hung fire. Tulips 

 are still offered in quantities. Consid- 

 erable business is expected from the 

 D. A. R., whose convention is being 

 held here.
