man hyacinths, freesia, lily of the val- 

 ley and violets are all seen in splendid 

 quality and do their full share in tid- 

 ing the trade over the time when roses 

 and carnations are at a premium. The 

 retail trade is feeling the effect of the 

 higher prices and especially is their 

 trade lessened by the shortage in 

 roses. Many of the largest stores han- 

 •dle very few carnations and the vol- 

 ume of business is greatly decreased 

 when there is a general shortage in 

 roses as at present. It is fortunate 

 that plenty of green of good quality 

 is being cut. A week of sunshine 

 would be most welcome to the grow-

There has been a 

 CINCINNATI complete reversal of 



conditions in the cut 

 flower market the past week. Stock, 

 while fairly plentiful the previous 

 week, is now on the short side. This 

 was particularly manifest in the rose 

 market, receipts being steadily on 

 the down grade. There was an active 

 demand for short and medium grades 

 and everything in the rose line moved 

 off quickly. The market on Beauties 

 Is just the reverse, a liberal supply 

 coming in and all orders for these are 

 being filled in full. Carnations have 

 felt the effects of the dark weather. A 

 comparison with last season shows 

 that ordinary giades are bringing from 

 50c. to $1.00 per hundred more now 

 than then, but the supply is far below 

 what we usually have in the end of 

 January. The supply of both single 

 and double violets is abundant with 

 prices very low for this season of the 

 year. The shortage of roses and car- 

 nations has apparently helped the sale 

 of both paper whites and Roman hya- 

 cinths, the glut of these being over 

 for the present. Lily of the valley la 

 abundant and moves slowly. There is 

 a noticeable absence of tulips and 

 jonquils in this market, with the call 

 growing stronger as spring draws near. 

 There is a slight let-up in the supply 

 of sweet peas with no advance in 

 price. Freesia has been in for the 

 past couple of weeks, but not yet so 

 abundant that it cuts much figure. 

 There is moderate supply and a good 

 demand for Easter lilies and callas. 



This market shows a 

 NEW YORK decided easing up 



from the stringent 

 conditions which, in common with 

 other markets, prevailed here a few 

 days ago and made it impossible to 

 fill urgent calls for roses, from all 

 sides, including even Boston. Soft 



spring-like weather has prevailed 

 since Monday and an April haze is iil 

 the air but the punishment for all this 

 is sure to come later. The market is 

 well supplied with carnations, of which 

 there are at times more than are 

 needed. Violets are "blue" in more 

 respects than mere color and selling 

 at lower figures than heretofore so 

 early in the season. Cattleyas have been 

 coming in faster than needed, with 

 the inevitable result of a serious break 

 in values but little can be said in 

 praise of the quality, blooms as a rule 

 running very small. Of tulips there is 

 an increasing supply, as of all other 

 bulbous material, and the quality is 

 growing better from day to day. Fresias 

 are excellent but in very moderate 

 supply as yet. A spring aspect al- 

 ready reigns in the florists' show 

 windows, with forsythias, almonds, 

 lilacs, crabapples and other forced 

 spring-flowering shrubs in beautiful 

 array. 



The market last week 

 ST. LOUIS was about as short as 



any we have had and 

 it seemed as though every one in the 

 retail business had plenty to do, judg- 

 ing by the rush for flowers each morn- 

 ing, and if they had no advance or- 

 ders they got nothing. The wholesal- 

 ers say they never saw such a scarcity 

 in stock. Anything that looked halt- 

 way good was picked up and at stiff 

 prices at that. Roses all went up in 

 price and to get any quantities was 

 out of the question. Short stock 

 brought from $6 to $S per 100, 

 Carnations $4 to $6, supply good 

 and demand cleans them up early 

 each day. Other stock such as sweet 

 peas, Roman hyacinths, paper whites 

 and lily of the valley sold well all 

 week. The wholesalers say they are 

 looking for a larger supply this week 

 as bright weather prevails.
