market. The surplus of stock is increas- 

 ing and prices are slowly but surely 

 declining. It has been a wonderful sea- 

 son, so far as the steadiness of prices 

 is concerned, ever since the Christmas 

 holidays. This is the first serious reces- 

 sion in value. Surely this must have 

 been a profitable season for the growers. 

 The retailers have not complained of 

 the high rates, because the public 

 seemed to understand the situation. 



Roses have been especially strong and 

 have virtually held the whole market 

 steady, no serious break having occurred 

 in any line of cut flowers. The present 

 week opened cold and cloudy, so the 

 avalanche of roses may be delayed a 

 little longer. 



There were few special American 

 Beauties shipped to the New York mar- 

 ket last week. For the best $1 was ob- 

 tainable. This is an abnormal figure for 

 this date; so few sold at this figure that 



it can hardly be calle<l a quotation. 

 From 75 cents down would seem a fairer 

 .•iverage, the "down" decreasing rapid- 

 ly below the 50-cent grade. Hadley spe- 

 cials held at the top quotation for this 

 popular variety. The arrivals of all 

 other favorite varieties are larger, and 

 prices of Ophelia, Sunburst, the Killar- 

 neys, and the other specialties are fall- 

 ing; $8 to $10 for the best was the price 

 quoted by a leading wholesaler. Some 

 of the short-stemmed blooms were ob- 

 tainable February 24 at $20 to $25 per 

 thousand. 



There was not an excessive supply of 

 high grade carnations last week. The 

 best easily held at $3 per hundred. The 

 lower-quality stock sold as low as $10 

 per thousand. The opening sales of car- 

 nations this w«ek were from $1 to $3 per 

 hundred. 



Few orchids have sold above $5 per 

 d6zen, and these because of the scarcity.
