NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



It is winter in earnest, with the tem- 

 perature hugging zero during the last 

 week, but rose shipments are increasing. 

 At the week's end there was an abun- 

 dance of everything and Saturday night 

 enough stock of all kinds was left over 

 to begin this week with. But growers 

 have had no occasion to complain as 

 to their returns. The average recently 

 has been nearly double that of a year 

 ago. 



The call for short-stemmed roses re- 

 mains as strong as during Januarj'. 

 There never seems to be enough of these 

 to meet the demand. American Beauties 

 were held at top quotations most of last 

 week. February 8 a few of the stores 

 on Fifth avenue were obliged to give $1 

 each for the selects, but 75 cents may 

 be quoted as generally the top, and 

 the stock had to be choice to bring that 

 figure. Hadley maintains its record val- 

 ues and all the novelties and special 

 varieties hold at close to the quotations 

 of a week ago. 



Carnations have held up wonderfully 

 until now. The best flowers broke to 

 $4 per hundred February 10. This price 

 was for the specialties only. Many thou- 

 sands were sold at $3 per hundred and 

 even as low as $20 per thousand. 



Longiflorum lilies did not sell above 

 $12 per hundred, although the long- 

 stemmed and selected flowers were held 

 by some of the wholesalers at 15 cents 

 each. A good many were sold at $10 

 per hundred. Valley also was depressed, 

 little of it selling above $4 per hundred. 

 Gardenias are plentiful and the general 

 quality is good. As high as $4 per dozen 

 is realized for the best flowers. 



There are too many short-stemmed 

 tulips. It is hard to dispose of them at 

 a price satisfactory to the growers. The 

 supply of frecsia is greater than the 

 market desires and jtriccs fell last week. 

 The best of it, however, still holds at 

 three bunches for $1. Callas are lower 

 in price and shipments are increasing. 

 Narcissi are in light supply, but dafi'o- 

 dils are abundant. Last week 50 cents 

 per hundred was top for violets, the cold 

 weather being accountable for this fig- 

 ure. The first warm wave will see them 

 on the street again. 



The shipments of sweet peas are in- 

 creasing and some of the Spencers are
