uey is a little oflE color with many grow- 

 ers, but on the whole there is no fault to 

 be found with the quality of roses. This 

 is true of the entire season, the inreather, 

 on the whole, having been favorable to 

 growers. In fact, it may be said that 

 Russell, Ophelia and Shawyer never 

 were of better quality. Although the 

 preference is given to red, pink and yel- 

 low varieties, no diflSculty. is :fpund in 

 clearing white stock. Prices are easing 

 as the supply increases. 



Darker colored varieties of carnations 

 were scarce last week, with Enchantress 

 and white varieties more plentiful. Good 

 grades in all varieties move readily. 



Easter lilies are in large supply in one 

 or two houses, in small supply elsewhere. 

 The receipts of callas are ample, but no 

 difficulty is found in clearing them. Or- 

 chids, though not in large supply, arrive 

 in sufficient quantities to meet a fairly 

 active demand. Single violets am com- 

 ing in more heavily and are selling well. 

 Sweet peas are plenliful. Good stock 

 brings fairly high prices, but shorter 

 stock, of which there Is much, sells at a 

 nominal figure and bargain sales may be 

 seen at nearly all the department stores. 

 Calendulas are moving slowly, while 

 mignonette, which is in fair supply, en- 

 joys a partial popularity. Paper Whites 

 are almost out, but are readily replaced 

 by poeticus, which finds a ready sale. 

 Good tulips require no great effort to 

 effect their sale, while poorer quality 

 stock is almost inert. Jonquils and daf- 

 fodils are in heavy supply and the aver- 

 age price has fallen so low many growers 

 of bulbous stock are complaining. Free- 

 sias are in short supply, as their season 

 draws to a close. They sell well. Rain- 

 bow freesias sell readily. Snapdragons 

 in white, yellow and pink arrive in 

 larger quantities. The quality is geod 

 and they sell well. A few forget-me-nots 

 coming in, are easily disposed of. 



Plumosus is a scarce article. A little 

 Florida stock is, however, coming 

 through with regularity and a slight in- 

 crease in the home-grown supply was 

 noted last week.
