The Market. 



With only an occasional good day to 

 break the monotony, it can be truly said 

 that the market now is in something of 

 a slump. All kinds of flovrers are arriv- 

 ing in abundance and it is increasingly 

 difficult to make satisfactory clearances, 

 even at low prices. March 3 business im- 

 proved, but it has fallen away again 

 this week. Boses have made a consider- 

 able decline. American Beauties are 

 not numerous, but there are few calls 

 for them, Hadley and Russell taking 

 their place and being preferred by the 

 majority of buyers. All roses are of 

 excellent quality. Whites continue to be 

 druggy. Short-stemmed flowers of all 

 colors now are down to $10 per thou- 

 sand. Carnations have not weakened 

 so much as roses. The general average 

 is $1.50 to $2.50 per hundred, with a 

 few strictly fancy varieties like Laddie, 

 Rosalia, Pink Sensation, etc., making $6 

 to $8. The warmer weather has sent 

 in a flood of violets, and sweet peas are 

 in tremendous supply. White flowers 

 with 18 to 20-inch stems make $2 per 

 hundred. There are numbers of short- 

 stemmed flowers which bring little more 

 than that per thousand. 



Easter lilies are in reduced supply 

 and clean up better. Dutch bulbous 

 flowers are abundant. The poorest sell- 

 ers are pure white tulips and Dutch hya- 

 cinths. Some good freesias are still seen 

 and Spanish irises from one or two 

 growers have arrived to supplement the 

 Iris tingitana. These flowers have made 

 $2 to $4 per dozen. There is an abun- 

 dant supply of English primroses, 

 pansies, forget-me-nots, calendulas and 

 wallflowers. Of anemones the arrivals 

 are far in excess of the demand. Callas 

 are druggy; so are lily of the valley and 

 mignonette. Snapdragons are not yet 

 excessively plentiful, but yellow mar- 

 guerites are much more abundant. The 

 best grade flowers still make $3 to $4 

 per hundred. Gardenias are less abun- 

 dant and a little dearer, but there Js a 

 good supply of cattleyas, dendrobiums 

 and other orchids. 



Various Notes. 



The Ranson Conservatories, of Arling- 

 ton, are getting a splendid crop of sweet
