and excellent quality. The abominable 

 dyed carnation is to be seen again 

 everywhere, outraging good taste and 

 the gloriou.s memory of the Saint! It 

 should be made a hanging offence. 

 And then — Fire and Brimstone! 



The same old story of 

 ST. LOUIS the week previous re- 

 garding the local flower 

 market. Stock of all kinds is much 

 more than the demand. Light colors 

 in flowers are about the only ones in 

 demand. White carnations bring $4 

 per 100 and other colors not over $3 

 for fancies. Roses are down low. Vio- 

 lets are a glut and have been all the 

 week and bring only $2 in 1000 lots. 

 Sweet peas, too, can be classed with 

 violets and are down as low as $3 per 

 1000. All bulb stuff also suffers great- 

 ly for want of demand, except lilies.

which have sold well. Greens are 

 somewhat scarce, especially asparagus 

 and common ferns. A great deal of 

 wild smilax was used for spring open- 

 ing decorations. 



Washington is now 

 WASHINGTON experiencing its 



first taste of real 

 spring weather, and practically of 

 cheaper flowers, for prices have been 

 forced down with the rising of the 

 mercury. Carnations have dropped 

 from up to $4 per hundred to almost 

 nothing although there are some few 

 which still bring a price. Violets and 

 sweet peas, both of which are of good 

 quality have been subjected to a sim- 

 ilar drop. The sudden change in the 

 weather is liable to do some little 

 damage to the Easter stocks by bring- 

 ing them into bloom before the ap- 

 pointed time. A similar condition 

 caused local growers much concern a 

 few weeks ago. However, the stock 

 at the present time points to its being 

 in the pink of condition at the proper 

 time. Rambler roses are now appear- 

 ing in the stores in small quantities 

 and are meeting with a ready sale. 

 Lilies are in somewhat larger supply 

 but are moving fairly well.
