few hitches here and there and an oc- 

 casional development which did not 

 meet with universal approval but per- 

 haps there were fewer of these than 

 for many years back. There was noth- 

 ing that could be really designated as 

 a "slump" although lilies were some- 

 what overdone in quantity and prices 

 ran lower on all sides than had been 

 contemplated in advance, and snap- 

 dragons were badly turned down by 

 the buyers. Just why this lovely flow- 

 er got such a knockout here does not 

 plainly appear. The quality of much 

 of the stock offered was very fine and 

 in other markets we understand it 

 sold very well. But New York 

 does unaccountable things sometimes. 

 Swainsona was also badly in the dis- 

 card. Carnations did not fare as well 

 as the growers hoped for. The fact is 

 that there were a good many ship- 

 ments into the market which carried 

 the symptoms of senility. On the day 

 after Easter there were a good number 

 of Enchantress carnations left unsold 

 and in such condition that had they 

 been sold would have done the divine 

 flower no good among the flower buy- 

 ers. Roses pulled through all right but 

 they were abundant and any attempt 

 to inflate prices would have probably 

 resulted in disaster. A distinct prefer- 

 ence for the newer varieties of roses 

 was noticeable. Ophelia and Hadley 

 stood in the front rank of preference 

 and realized ijrices nearly double those 

 obtainable for the older kinds. Bul- 

 bous stock was not overplentiful and 

 the tulips and narcissi of various spe- 

 cies sold out rapidly at standard 

 prices. Lily of the valley took an 

 amazing jump to the values of a quar- 

 ter century or more ago, sales at $10.00 

 per 100, and quotations at $12.00 to 

 $15.00 being registered. Most of the 

 stores had engaged their stock in ad- 

 vance, however, at a standard price Of 

 $50.00 per 1000. The situation was 

 much relieved by the appearance in 

 Phil Kessler's hands of a lot of "frame 

 valley" of fine quality, the first cut of 

 the season, at $4.00 per 100 — a lecord
