tions. Shipments of the latter are grow- 

 ing in quantity every day, and it is 

 said there will be immense receipts for 

 Easter. The best of the novelties in 

 large lots sold as low as $20 per thou- 

 sand April 8. 



The best Beauties sold at 40 cents 

 last week. The flower show has em- 

 phasized their popularity. Good figures 

 for the selects will prevail until after 

 Easter. Beauties and Hadleys are still 

 running an even race for public favor. 

 Brunners are here and as popular as 

 ever. All the newer roses are in good 

 demand, especially Ophelia, Hoosier 

 Beauty, Double White Killarney, Kil- 

 larney Brilliant, Sunburst and Prima 

 Donna. 



Orchids are in great variety and 

 plentiful. Prices for the selects are 

 steady. There will be some splendid 

 Mossise and gigas for Easter, also 

 phalsenopsis and dendrobiums. There 

 has been no advance in the values of 

 gardenias. The best retail stores con- 

 sider $2 per dozen the present extreme 

 in price and from that on down to less 

 than $5 per hundred is reflected in the 

 offerings of the street merchants. Val- 

 ley is abundant and prices are reasona- 

 ble; in fact, most of the select stock 

 last week sold as low as $2 per hun- 

 dred. Lilies have also retrograded, the 

 shorts down to 3 cents and the top 

 grade to 6 cents each. The tendency is 

 upward, however, as Easter approaches.

Many orders are being booked for the 

 holiday at $10 per hundred. 



Violets have to be of special quality 

 to induce the retailers to bother with 

 them at all. The men of the street are 

 the only visible outlet. These dis- 

 tributors are at every corner and they 

 offer also valley, pansies and gardenias. 

 The supply of freesia is light. Daffodils 



of local growing have to contend with 

 the southern shipments. There still are 

 fine irises, tulips and narcissi and an 

 abundance of daisies, pansies, sweet 

 peas, wallflowers and forgeft-me-nots. 

 The sweet peas are of especially high
