more slowly. Daffodils are slow sell- 

 ers and accumulate, but Dutch hya- 

 cinths sell out clean every day as do 

 Murrillo and La Reine tulips, also 

 Paper Whites. Red tulips are in good 

 supply and move less freely. Lily of 

 the valley, as usual when the supply 

 lets up, has increased demand. Dou- 

 ble violets continue more than suffi- 

 ■cient, but good singles clean up every 

 day. The lily supply is bountiful. Cai- 

 las meet with an excellent demand. 

 A week of general activ- 

 DETROIT ity has brought content- 

 ment to fetailers and 

 wholesalers. There is nothing heard 

 •of any special doing and at the begin- 

 ning of the week all kinds of stock 

 Kiid accumulate to a serious stage. To- 

 wards the end of the week, though, 

 buying was much more liberal and ev- 

 •erything was cleared off nicely. Prices 

 ruled about the same as last week, 

 with a trifle lower at some instances. 

 This, however, is a much more satis- 

 factory condition when compared with 

 one year ago when large quantities of 

 fine stock weat to the dump pile. Lilies 

 .are very scarce at piesent with no im- 

 mediate relief in sight. They will be 

 plentiful at .Easter, but the average 

 ;rather short of stem. 



This market has been 

 NEW YORK undergoing a read- 

 justment of values for 

 the past ten days. Prices persist in 

 getting down to a lower level. This is 

 more apparent where roses and carna- 

 tions are concerned as the supply is 

 gradually increasing. The shortage in 

 supply of Beauties is at, an end. White 

 and pink Killarneys, Bridesmaids, 

 Brides and Marylands are in ample 

 supply, Maryland being the poorest 

 seller of all. Richmonds, too. are com- 

 ing on. The cut of carnations is heavy 

 and they are disposed of with difflcul- 

 ty, no fixed price being possible. Vio- 

 lets are a drug; even the street men 

 -find it unprofitable to handle them and 

 the prices finally realized are hardly 

 suflicicnt to pay the producer for pick- 

 ing and sending them to market. Bul- 

 bous stock of all kinds is very plenti- 

 ful but holds its own better than roses 

 or carnations— at least, daffodils, jon- 

 quils and tulips are seasonable. There 

 are more lilies and callas than the de- 

 mand requires— lily of the valley is 

 also in excess of the demand. 



The second week 

 PHILADELPHIA of Lent had a lit- 

 tle better tone to 

 it in this market than the first. Peo- 

 iple are gradually recovering from their 

 first fierce fit of sanctimoniousness.

But for all that, things were nothing 

 to brag about and prices generally re- 

 mained at the previous low level. The 

 weather being good the Friday and 

 Saturday finish was up to best expec- 

 tations. The same old story is still 

 the go on American Beauty — very 

 scarce. Some growers say they see no 

 chance of any improvement for several 

 weeks yet. Richmond also is scarce in 

 spots, and does not seem to be over- 

 plentiful anywhere. White roses are 

 good stock and in excellent demand. 

 Kaiserin — new crop — just commencing 

 to arrive — very good for the season. 

 Carnations are more plentiful and 

 prices rule a shade lower. There will 

 probably be a run on white carnations 

 this week — these being largely used 

 for St. Patrick's. Orchids are coming 

 in more freely and prices have mod- 

 erated. Violet figures are low and the 

 influx of fine stock remains unabated. 

 On the fashionable promenades the 

 sweet pea seems to have the call over 

 the violet this year for corsage bou- 

 quets. Sweet peas are of excellent 

 quality just now and abundant. The 

 whites are rather too abundant and 

 do not go as readily as the colors. 

 Lily of the valley is a little sluggish. 

 White lilac is pretty good yet, but will 

 probably not last much longer as there 

 is a noticeable slackening up in sup- 

 plies. Indoor daffodils are also in 

 smaller volume but the southern stock 

 is filling the gap and all demands can 

 be satisfactorily filled. 



During the past week 

 ST. LOUIS the market here was all 

 that could be expected. 

 It was well stocked and in some cases 

 over-stocked. The trade were greatly 

 Interested in roses of the first grade. 

 These have become scarce again, but 

 there are quite a lot of second and 

 third grade stocks to be had. Ameri- 

 can Beauties, long and fancy, are hav- 

 ing some call, but are hard to get. 

 Carnations are in plenty and almost a 



glut; $10 per 1000 buys good stock.. 

 Violets and sweet peas are a glut 

 and are selling cheap, and a great 

 many of these had to be dumped ow- 

 ing to quantity. Lilies and callas are 

 also coming in heavy and are sold for 

 $10 per 100 fiowers.
