 market cleans up (airly well. The 

 supply of roses is good and meets with 

 an active demand. Carnations are 

 fairly plentiful and are cleaning up, 

 although during the early part of last 

 week there was a surplus of them. 

 The lily supply is good and promises 

 to be good for Easter but orders for 

 them are coming in strong and the 

 chances are that the entire supply for 

 Easter will be sold before the time 

 arrives. Sweet peas are fairly plenti- 

 ful. As a whole they are of a good 

 quality. Snapdragon, tulips, daffodils, 

 freesia, iris and Narcissus Poeticus 

 may be had. Other offerings are or- 

 chids, mignonnette, stocks, forget-me- 

 not, pansies, calendula and wallflower. 



Carnations jump- 

 PHILADELPHIA ed up a little 

 towards the end 

 of the week and were bringing from 

 two to three cents more. These were 

 easily the most skittish proposition on 

 the market and no one seemed to know 

 just where things stood. Pretty good 

 roses got only about the same prices 

 as pretty good carnations — which is 

 an unusual situation. The most rea- 

 sonable explanation seems to be that 

 carnations are a bit off crop for the

time being. Prospects for Easter 

 seem to be very good. How to ensure 

 getting enough to fill the orders seems 

 to worry the plant and flower men 

 this year more than how to find a 

 market for everything in sight. 



Business during the 

 ROCHESTER past week has been 



very good with an 

 abundance of material. Large quan- 

 tities of flowers were sold for decorat- 

 ing the homes of returning soldiers 

 and furnishing bouquets for the offi- 

 cers during the parade. Roses anil 

 violets are of good quality and meet 



the demand. Callas are good and fair- 

 ly plentiful. Carnations are in abun- 

 dance and move well. Sweet peas are 

 of excellent quality and are bringing 

 a better price for the longer stemmed. 

 Snapdragon in long and short stems 

 are very popular. Lily of the valley 

 is good and sells well. Forgetmenots, 

 calendulas, wallflower, baby primrose, 

 pansies and schizanthus are popular 

 in mixed boxes of flowers. Some very 

 good potted genista, rhododendrons, 

 rambler rose bushes, lilac, azaleas and 

 hydrangeas bring good prices. Smilax. 

 leucothoe and asparagus are in good 

 supply.
