stock, however, in all varieties, is mov- 

 ing much more slowly than short stock. 

 The general demand for carnations 

 is much more active than it was a week 

 ago. If there is any variation in sup- 

 ply, it is toward the short side of the 

 market. It is gratifying to note that 

 the percentage of splits is growing 

 smaller. Quality, on the whole, il fair- 

 ly good. The demand for violets ex- 

 perienced a regenerating influence the 

 end of last week, which completely 

 cleared the market of both singles and 

 doubles. It is complained, however, 

 that doubles have been coming into the 

 market in such poor condition that it 

 is generally quite difficult to move 

 them. 



There is practically no change in the 

 market conditions of miscellaneous 

 stock. Jonquils are not moving in a 

 satisfactory way and, as a result, there 

 are many holdovers. Tulips still ^joy 

 a fair degree of trade favor, the sup- 

 ply being small because so many have 

 come blind this year. Freesid, and sweet 

 peas are giving a good account of them- 

 selves. The short side of the market 

 still holds a strange fascination for 

 valley. Easter lilies, of course, are 

 brushing up to come into their own, 

 and in consequence are objects of more 

 than usual interest. The supply seems 

 to be fair and the quality good. 

 Calendulas, snapdragons, daisies, mig- 

 nonette and pansies are available and 

 move, though without any degree of 

 ostentation. 



Greens have been moving well and 

 all kinds are in good supply with the 

 exception of smilax. 



Various Notes. 



Having renewed his lease at the 

 stand occupied for so many years, on 

 Michigan avenue at Thirty-first street, 

 W. J. Smyth will receive compensation 

 for an increased rental through a new 

 front to be put in this summer. At 

 present the store has its principal win- 

 dow frontage on Thirty-first street, but 

 after alterations are made the Michigan 

 avenue side will be practically all dis- 

 play space to catch the eyes of auto- 

 mobilists who throng the boulevard.

A Tip: — . 



to the Florist who is not satisfied. 



Try another house before the successive string of ^holi- 

 days is upon us. This is the time to shop. You can't 

 expect entire satisfaction from a house that has never 

 before received an order from you, if that first order 

 ai-rives during the holiday rush.
