who have not a drop of Irish blood in 

 their veins would send the novelties, 

 perhaps as a joke. Then you know the 

 box man can make a clover-leaf box of 

 green just as easily as he can a red 

 heart-shaped box for Valentine's day. 

 Try it once, to see if in time you will 

 not be as busy St. Patrick's day as on 

 others of the smaller holidays of the 

 season. The daily press will take no- 

 tice of such a movement. The impor- 

 tant part, in my estimation, is for all 

 to pull together. The business all over 

 town will be bettered. 



Various Notes. 



While there are not so many of the 

 larger entertainments, such as dinners, 

 teas, receptions and dances, I am told 

 that there was no falling off in business 

 during the first two weeks of Lent. It 

 is a little quiet, but before long things 

 in the society world get back to normal. 



There is some complaint about roses; 

 that is, the better quality blooms are 

 scarce. Good white roses were hard to 

 get last week, but on the whole the 

 supply is about equal to the demand. 

 Bulbous stock is plentiful and good. Mr. 

 Moss is sending in fine callas. Mr. Erd- 

 man has a fine cut of sweet peas. His 

 Yarrawa peas are specially fine, with 

 good, stout stems measuring eighteen 

 inches and the flowers two to two and 

 one-half inches in diameter. Tate.

The Market. 



The bottom fell out of the cut flower 

 market before February ended. Last 

 week was one of great depression, there- 

 fore, and prices broke suddenly and 

 without warning. The week's end saw 

 everyone loaded with the accumulations, 

 and with the demand, even from the 

 big buyers, far below anticipation. 

 There seemed to be a surplus of every- 

 thing, with the exception of American 

 Beauties. The selects of these were still 

 held at 75 rents each, and there were 

 but few of them. General business was 

 far below the average of the correspond- 

 ing week of a year ago. 



Apart from Beauties and Hadley, all 

 other varieties of roses are selling at

 stock of the No. 1 grade were selling 

 March 3 at $20 per thousand. The short- 

 stemmed No. 2 blooms were offered in 

 large lots and at half this quotation. 



Shipments of carnations are growing 

 in volume and prices are down to $2 

 per hundred. Only the selected and 

 special varieties sell above that figure. 

 Many of the medium grades were dis- 

 posed of as low as $10 and under per 

 thousand. Violets fell to the lowest 

 figures of the year. The street men 

 were favored with mild weather and 

 were out in droves. Their figure was $1 

 per thousand, or $1 to $2 for boxes of
