The weather last week was fine and 

 the downtown florists experienced a 

 large over-the-counter trade. Cut stock 

 was plentiful and low prices pre- 

 vailed. Violets and sweet peas were 

 the leaders in demand. J. J. B.

The Market. 



We had little sunshine last week and 

 a low average temperature, with almost 

 daily snow storms. As a consequence, 

 flowers opened slowly and both carna- 

 tions and roses made better prices than 

 for some time. But for the arrival of 

 Lent and the consequent cessation of 

 the social activity, prices would have 

 advanced quite sharply. We now have 

 clearer skies, and, with larger offerings 

 of flowers, prices are once more on the 

 down grade. There still is only a lim- 

 ited supply of American Beauty roses, 

 but these are not missed when such 

 sorts as Bussell, Hadley, Francis Scott 

 Key and Ophelia are to be had. Rose 

 prices advanced sharply last week, but 

 are lower now, thanks to clearer skies. 

 Carnations are somewhat off crop with 

 a number of large growers. This and 

 the cold, sunless weather prior to March 

 12 caused the carnation supply to short- 

 en sharply, but blooms now are arriving 

 more freely. 



Sweet peas of every imaginable qual- 

 ity are seen. The prices vary from 35 

 cents to $1.50 per hundred, although 

 some short-fetemmed stock has gone as 

 low as $1 per thousand. The Spencers 

 are of grand quality. Violets remain 

 about the same. Bulbous stock has been 

 cleaning up well. Antirrhinums are ar- 

 riving more freely; good spikes realize 

 $1.50 to $2 per dozen. Lilies are just
