SO large quantity either; and on the 

 whole it may be said that all roses 

 were scarce — all along the line. Being 

 near to St. Valentine's week gave quite 

 a little fllip to the violet market. All 

 grades ot these sold well, as did also 

 lily of the valley, sweet peas, and other 

 medium-priced subjects. Carnations 

 came in more freely and no advance in 

 prices took place on these, although 

 they sold up pretty clean. Orchids 

 were not very much in demand, and 

 quite some surplus developed towards 

 the end of the week.

good quality sold well and bulbous 

 stock competed strong against carna- 

 tions, crowding them to a lower price. 

 Roses are still scarce. Some shippers 



•of bulbous stock seem to be careless in 

 cutting; quite a quantity of narcissi 

 arrived in bad condition and is conse- 

 quently unsalable. 



The rose market has 

 NEW YORK eased up very notice- 

 ably within the past 

 week and as the crop gathers volume 

 the prices slacken and the buyer gets 

 better values for a stipulated sum. 

 The outlook is for a heavy crop in 

 the near future, from all growing sec- 

 tions, and the coming of a few warm 

 days would doubtless create havoc 

 generally. Carnations are also show- 

 ing indications of impending disturb- 

 ance of values, but just at present 

 this applies only to the white sorts as 

 the call for reds for Valentine Day 

 use has been brisk enough to hold 

 prices very firm on the bright colored 

 stock. Violets are very fine as a rule. 



Many more singles are seen than in 

 previous seasons in this market, so 

 noted for the high quality of its double 

 violets. Quite a proportion of the dark 

 Gov. Herrick is noted but the in- 

 feriority in size of flower and length 

 of stem places this variety in second 

 grade, regardless of its advantage in 

 color. Daffodils are arriving in large 

 quantities and extra good quality. The 



Toeticus Ornatus Is now among the 

 staples and a good many Camper- 

 nelles are also in. Roman hyacinths 

 and paper whites are in very light sup- 

 ply. Lilies are nicely balanced as to 

 supply and bring a good price, as do 

 also callas. There are still a good 

 many small cattleyas about and they 

 are disposed of with difliculty, but the 

 supply of really fine blooms is on the 

 wane and prices have made a sharp 

 advance. Gardenias continue scarce. 

 A good many dendrobiums of several 

 species are being received and Acacia 

 pubescens has made its appearance, 

 but most of it has been cut too young. 

 A good many dwarf pyruses and 

 prunuses in bloom add a distinct 

 ' charm to the florists' windows. 



Business last week 

 PHILADELPHIA pretty good; not a 

 whole lot ot stock 

 to do business with, but they managed 

 to do fairly well considering. Garde- 

 nias and short white roses were the 

 items particularly in demand and em- 

 phatically on the scarce list. Ameri- 

 can Beauties were not as plentiful as 

 expected, and proved also on the 

 short side. Pink roses were not in 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



John Westcott has arrived home 

 from his trip to the Bermudas and re- 

 ceived a royal welcome from his old 

 friends in Philadelphia. 



His many warm friends in Phila- 

 delphia hear with deep regret of the 

 serious illness of L. G. Blick, Norfolk, 

 Va. Mr. Blick is held in the highest 

 esteem everywhere and the whole 

 craft sends up its prayers for his 

 speedy recovery. 



In addition to the regular stocks 

 listed in this issue the Philadelphia 

 market Is offering, among other 

 things: Perle rotes, $6 to $8; Melody, 

 $8, $10, $12; freesia, $3 to $4; callas, 

 $15; swainsona, 15c. per bunch; aca- 

 cia, $2.50 per bunch. 



I. S. Hendrickson of Plowerfield, N. 

 Y., gave an interesting lecture on 

 "Gladioli" in the Michell series on the 

 13th inst. This was held in the new 

 auditorium which is quieter, more 

 commodious, and more comfortable 

 than the old room adjoining. 



Visitors: Harry Schroyer, Lancas- 

 ter, Pa.; W. V. Gude, Washington, D. 

 C; Miss Lou Dundas, Lancaster, Pa.
