cattleyas. The latter are very scarce. 

 Phalaenopsis is also less plentiful this 

 week, but it is believed there will be 

 plenty on the market to supply the 

 Easter demand. Some fine displays of 

 primroses are being made and the de- 

 mand is fairly strong. A good many 

 California wild yellow violets are com- 

 ing in. The warm weather has made 

 violets too soft to ship in good con- 

 dition, and it is expected the Easter 

 movement wifl about finish the season. 

 St. Patrick's Day had but little effect 

 upon the local flower trade. Very few 

 of the better shops offered anything in 

 the way of green dyed flowers. 



According to all re- 

 WASHINGTON ports obtained from 

 nearby growers 

 there will be more Easter stock than 

 this market can readily absorb and the 

 result will be that they will have to 

 look for other modes of disposing of 

 lilies especially. In all probability, as 

 in other years, the florists will have 

 the competition of department, grocery 

 and other stores to contend with. This 

 latter they would not so much mind 

 were it not for the practice of cutting 

 prices. The Rambler roses that are now 

 coming in have never been equalled 

 and other stock such as spireas, 

 hydrangeas, rhododendrons, and snap- 

 dragons in pots and tubs, a nov- 

 elty of this year, are in fine shape. 

 The weather has caused a slackening 

 in the rose and carnation crops and as 

 a result both of these are cleaning up 

 well although at moderate prices. 

 There is more bulb stock on the mar- 

 ket than can be taken care of, and vio- 

 lets and sweet peas are overplentiful. 

 It has come to the pass where the 

 growers cannot produce many of these 

 at a profit and with the returns from 

 the exchanges and wholesale houses 

 lower than the cost of production, a 

 number have discontinued handling 

 them. Business during the month has 

 been quite satisfactory.
