THE BEST LETTERS

afford variety for window display. As- 

 paragus strings are scarce. Sweet peas 

 sell well, especially good long- 

 stemmed stock. Callas are very much 

 in I'vidence everywhere. 



The opening of the 

 CINCINNATI Lenten season has 



had little or no effect 

 on business. Market conditions con- 

 tinue very satisfactory. Good Beau- 

 ties are on the short side. There is a 

 liberal supply of other roses, and the 

 call for short and medium grades is 

 heavy and at times the supply is not 

 equal to the demand. Carnations are 

 plentiful and have taken a drop in 

 price. White being in exceptionally 

 good demand price on these has held 

 very firm. Enchantress and Rose Pink 

 enjoy a fair call while red and Lawson 

 move more slowly and prices on these 

 have to be sacrificed to make sales. The 

 past week found an accumulation of 

 bulbous stock all of which move slow- 

 ly and sales are made at buyers' price. 

 White and lavender Dutch hyacinths 

 move freely as do La Reine and Muril- 

 lo tulips and paper whites. Callas and 

 lilies are plentiful with only a fair de- 

 mand. Sweet peas are in heavy crop 

 and price is low. Single violets have 

 let up a little in supply with a slight 

 advance in price. Double violets are 

 sufficient for present needs. Aspara- 

 gus plumosus and Sprengeri in good 

 supply and demand. 



Heavier shipments have 

 DETROIT brought wholesale prices 

 down a few notches. 

 Roses, which have been very scarce 

 for seveial weeks, are coming more 

 plentifully, but lilies are still on the 

 short side. Carnations are coming in 

 fine and prices reduced. All other 

 stock is coming in good quality and 

 quantity. 



Trade has been de- 

 NEW YORK cidedly stagnant on 



most lines since Lent 

 began. The market is dull and, with 

 sunny weather, a considerable surplus 

 has been piling up from day to day in 

 wholesale hands with the inevitable 

 result of declining prices and condi- 

 tions strongly favoring the bargain 

 counter job lot purchaser. If anything 

 can be said to be in demand it is 

 American Beauty roses with good 

 heads. Most of the Beauties just now 

 are gnarled and discolored, regardless 

 of length of stem. Richmonds of the 

 higher grades profit somewhat from 

 the generally crippled condition of the 

 Beauties. Tulips of the deeper colors 



are selling fairly well also, especially 

 such as Flamingo. Color is also de- 

 manded in cattleyas and the deeper the 

 shade the better the price and readier 

 sale. Daffodils, lilies, freesias, and 

 violets are still in oversupply. 



Tne early part of 

 PHILADELPHIA the week was all 



right, but as soon 

 as Lent struck there was a big failing 

 off. It always takes about a week for 

 things to adjust themselves after Lent 

 sets in; after that there is very little 

 difference. Everything plentiful with 

 the exception of American Beauty 

 roses, and perhaps in a minor degree 

 good white roses. There are enough 

 and to spare of "runts" in American 

 Beauty, but the higher grades are very 

 scarce" indeed. There were a few 

 flowers on view of the Double Killar- 

 ney this week, and certainly this is a 

 m.agnificent variety as to size, sub- 

 stance and color. If there be any 

 doubting Thomas still unconvinced let 

 him look it up. Carnations are in 

 large supply but nothing to the violets! 

 The latter are here by the carload and, 

 to make matters worse, the police are 

 busy chasing the curb merchants off 

 the streets. In cattleyas there seems 

 to be a larger supply and mostly of the 

 light-colored Schroderae. The rich, 

 dark-colored Trianae is scarce. Most 

 buyers prefer the latter. Southern daf- 

 fodils have just begun to make their 

 appearance. Lower prices rule and 

 there is plenty of fine stock in all 

 lines. The buyer is now having his 

 innings in good earnest. 



The market last week 

 ST. LOUIS was crowded up with 

 stock. Dull trade the 

 first few days of Lent caused the 

 slump. Quality is of the best and 

 prices have dropped on everything. 

 The weather has become spriug-like, 

 and the great crowds out have made 

 great transient trade for the down-
