cut of the week was more than double 

 that of the week preceding, but this, 

 too, is now a thing of the past. Cat- 

 tle.vas are going off crop. There is a 

 glut of New York violets and they are 

 not moving to any great extent except 

 along the streets. There are more 

 than three times as many sweet peas 

 than there were two weeks ago and 

 prices have dropped. Snapdragon is 

 somewhat more plentiful than it has 

 been and is moving slowly. Narcissi 

 and daffodils are not moving at all. 

 Single Jonquils from the south find no 

 market here. A scarcity is reported of 

 American Beauty roses and of garde- 

 nias but there are enough of both to 

 meet the limited call for them.

We have experl- 



PHILADELPHIA enced rather a 

 dull week — a su- 

 perabundance of flowers and business 

 not very good. The first part of last 

 week was especially bad. At the end 

 things picked up a bit and the colder 

 weather has held crops within bounds 

 a little. The worst sufferers in the 

 congestion were bulbous flowers: tu- 

 lips, paper whites, daffodils, freesias, 

 etc. Lilies did not suffer so much as 

 the supply of these is better controlled 

 all through the season. Roses are very 

 plentiful and carnations are also in 

 larger supply. Prices on the latter 

 have receded to quite a noticeable ex- 

 tent. Violets are a drag and a drug. 

 Lily of the valley not much better. 

 Lilac, plentiful and in fair demand. 

 Not so many cattleyas and prices 

 slightly firmer; SchrcEderse is the 

 best one now arriving. Snapdragon is 

 of better quality and selling well. 



Business has 



SAN FRANCISCO fallen off some- 

 what this week, 

 though the natural quietness of the 

 Lenten season is partly counteracted 

 by the social activity due to the Expo- 

 sition, and by small purchases by visi- 

 tors to the city. Shipping trade in vio- 

 lets is light, and with stock more plen- 

 tiful than ever, and also very fine, 

 prices are low. The northern demand 

 for roses keeps up fairly well, but the 

 abundance of spring flowers is injur- 

 ing their sale locally. There is now a 

 large cut of most varieties, only Amer- 

 ican Beauties being a little scarce and 

 hardly up to standard. Killarney and 

 Maryland are especially good, and 

 move readily. Hyacinths are now very 

 plentiful, and tulips rather more so 

 than usual at this season, while other 

 bulb stock is in profusion. The large 

 offerings and fine quality naturally 

 stimulate a lively demand, but prices 

 are low. Carnations are deteriorating, 

 and find little demand in competition 

 with bulb stock. This week's cut of 

 gardenias is about the best ever seen 

 here, with stems a foot long, and many 

 blossoms 4 to 5 inches in diameter. 

 The supply of orchids is getting down 

 to normal again, with a corresponding 

 steadying of prices. There is a heavy 

 demand for terns and palms, but the 

 supply so far has been sufficient for 

 all requirements. Practically all the 

 growers are bringing in heavy offer- 

 ings of Formosum lilies. 



There was a good mar- 



ST. LOUIS ket last week. The 

 dark weather cut the 

 supply down somewhat and this 

 seemed to increase the demand and 

 raised the prices a few cents on all 

 stock. Sweet peas and violets were 

 in good supply and demand, and 

 mainly so in the fancy grades. As the 

 season advances, bulb stock is coming 

 in more and more. There are enough 

 roses and carnations for the daily de- 

 mand with prices a little high on 

 these. 



Business last week 



WASHINGTON was very dull. 

 There was a large 

 accumulation of stock of all kinds 

 which forced already low prices still 

 lower. Particularly was this true of 

 carnations. Colder weather put a halt 

 to the oversupply and they have now 

 regained former prices. In roses the
