PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. - 



The week from February 3 to Feb- 

 ruary 9, inclusive, began with a dull 

 day and steadily improved afterwards. 

 Prices fell, then rose on most flowers. 

 The shipping demand was the strength 

 of the market; locally business was only 

 fair. Sweet peas have been coming in 

 freely. Some fine orchid or Spencer 

 varieties are offered; these choice flow- 

 ers in bright colors sell best. The finest 

 peas command $2 per hundred, or about 

 $1 less than the best January price. 

 There are few peas that bring this 

 price, the larger number selling at 

 $1.50 per hundred down to $1, 75 and 

 50 cents per hundred. Carnations are 

 in heavy supply at reasonable prices. 

 Daffodils are good, plentiful and cheap. 

 Tulips do not sell as of old. The bulk 

 of the stock offered is yellow and white; 

 when nice pink and double orange are 

 offered they find a market. Freesia goes 

 slowly at low prices. Valley is fully 

 equal to the demand, while gardenias 

 and even cattleyas are rather dull. 

 Easter lilies sell well, callas even bet- 

 ter. Fine snapdragon is excellent stock 

 and has been even during last week's 

 depression. Violets are cheap; they 

 seem to be neglected by many of the 

 best buyers. Roses have improved in 

 demand. The crop is fair rather than 

 heavy. Beauties are extremely scarce. 



Carnation Night. 



In addition to the exhibits enumer- 

 ated in last week's account of the Flo- 

 rists' Club's carnation meeting, held 

 February 1, there was a handsome vase 

 of Carnation Morning Glow from E. 

 Winkler, of Wakefield, Mass. The ex- 



BERGER BROS. 



Market Forecast- 



indications point to a good supply of 

 flowers for the week of February 14th 

 to 19th. It is probable that all orders 

 for Carnations, Daffodils, Violets and 

 Tulips can be filled in full. Good 

 short Roses are coming: into crop. So, 

 too, are Orchid Peas. Valley will con- 

 tinue scarce.
