and red carnations have been selling 

 well, while Enchantress was slow and 

 splits practically dead. 



The receipts of bulbous stock have 

 shortened somewhat, but there is still an 

 oversupply. The situation is, however, 

 decidedly better than the week previous. 

 Tulips drag heavily, Darwins appearing 

 to be the only class that move at all 

 briskly. Jonquils sell slowly, but are 

 a liltle better off than they have been. 

 Poeticus is in fair supply and sells well. 

 The supply of southern jonquils and 

 poeticus is beginning to arrive. Free- 

 sias are dragging heavily, while Paper 

 Whites, a few of which still linger, are 

 practically dead. 



There has been no change in the 

 valley situation. Easter lilies and callas 

 are in fair supply, with a steady, though 

 not large demand. A large cut of short 

 lilies is diflBcult to move on a market 

 heavily supplied with good stock. Vio- 

 lets arrived in large quantities last week 

 and many were sold at sharp conces- 

 sions. The supply of sweet peas is nor- 

 mal. Last week found an abundance 

 on the market, but a sharp turn set in 

 and March 10 there was even a scarcity. 

 Calendulas move slowly, as do mignon- 

 ette. Daisies just about hold their own. 

 Snapdragons are in small supply, but 

 of good quality. The white variety 

 moves slowly, but colored stock sells 

 well. 



Plumosus, though still scarce, arrives 

 in increasing supply. Quite a quantity

 first self-reliant show of the American
