The Market. 



Heavy receipts of stock in the local 

 market have threatened an oversupply 

 for several days, but a decided break 

 has been forestalled by the active de- 

 mand here. With the resumption of 

 eastern shipments, the peak of uncer- 

 tainty seems past. Roses and violets 

 probably suffered the most during the 

 period when shipments were cut off on 

 account of the railroad strike, due to 

 the fact that the former are in strong 

 competition locally at this time of the 

 year with tulips, lilacs, iris and other 

 seasonable flowers and the latter always 

 have a heavy movement to eastern 

 points. As would be expected, prices 

 on roses have weakened a little, but 

 not much, their fine quality no doubt 

 helping them to maintain their position 

 remarkably well under the circum- 

 stances. There is an especially fine cut

of Eussell, Ophelia and Beauty, while 

 the other varieties also show good qual- 

 ity. Cecile Brunner is plentiful and 

 good. With the rain last week, violets 

 will probably continue plentiful and 

 good for some time yet. 



On the whole, stock is excellent here. 

 Tulips are arriving in large quantities 

 and never before were finer blooms of- 

 fered in this market. Spanish iris is 

 offered in fair supply also and snap- 

 dragons arrive freely, a large propor- 

 tion of the spikes ranking as select 

 stock. Lilacs are at the height of their 

 season. Banunculuses and anemones 



continue plentiful and are in good de- 

 mand. Carnations are a little uncer- 

 tain, but there are plenty of first-class 

 blooms to meet requirements. There is 

 a fine cut of long-stemmed Laddie car- 

 nations and this variety is especially 

 popular just now. 



The supply of orchids is about all the 

 market will stand and gardenias are 

 a little off crop. Potted plants make 

 a splendid showing, including Easter 

 lilies, rhododendrons, cinerarias and 

 hydrangeas. Their sale has held up un- 

 usually well since Easter.
