Quality is generally good. It is not 

 easy to say which varieties lead, though 

 it may be said the newer ones arc 

 moved with much greater ease. 



Carnations, as a matter of course, are 

 far, far short of the demand. Peonies, 

 however, are beginning to arrive on the 

 market in ever-increasing numbers. The 

 chief arrivals are Old Red, Festiva and 

 Queen Victoria. As usual, valley may 

 be depended upon to be short. The 

 last week has managed to do away 

 with the surplus of Easter lilies. The 

 Easter crop is about done for and the 

 next crop is not yet ready. Callas are 

 plentiful, a fact which does not facili- 

 tate their movement. Cattleyas con- 

 tinue unusually scarce and prices are 

 accordingly high. Popular favor still 

 focuses on the sweet peas for corsage 

 use and places this item on the short 

 side of the market as far as first-class 

 stock is concerned. A good supply of 

 snapdragon clears daily. Daisies are 

 plentiful enough, but meet with a fickle 

 demand. Calendulas and mignonette 

 are available in moderate quantities. 

 Jonquils are about done for and daffo- 

 dils are singing their swan song. Gar- 

 denias of excellent quality are in the 

 market and they meet with a ready 

 demand. Always popular, Spanish iris 

 is not in sufficient supply to meet the 

 demand. The supply of gladioli is not 

 large, and this fact, coupled with the 

 general excellence of the stock received, 

 results in regular clearings. Pansies 

 are selling well. The lilac supply is 

 so erratic this spring that no de- 

 pendence can be placed on it. 



The situation in greens is little al- 

 tered. Smilax is again on the short 

 side.
