The Market. 



Business continues decidedly dull. 

 Supplies are heavy and the demand not 

 at all vigorous. Prices average a little 

 lower than those of a week ago. Whole- 

 salers feel that the worst of the slump 

 is over and that from now on conditions 

 will improve. If the prices of necessi- 

 ties show a shargjificline, it undoubtedly 

 will help the cut flower trade. Many 

 who have been in the habit of purchas- 

 ing a few flowers weekly have been 

 obliged to use the money for more vital 

 needs. 



Eoses are decidedly weak. Large lots 

 are cleared to the fakers at $10 per thou- 

 sand, and these are not all short- 

 stemmed stock by any means. Varieties 

 selling well are Sunburst, Ophelia, Fran- 

 cis Scott Key, Double White Killarney, 

 Maryland, Hadley and Russell. Flowers 

 have to be of fancy quality now to make 

 $15 per hundred. Carnations hold up 

 fairly well, and as some growers are get- 

 ting ofi' crop, prices are unlikely to go 

 any lower. 



Violets average 50 cents per hundred 

 and are abundant. Sweet peas are ar- 

 riving in great volume and have a wide 

 range of prices. Bulbous flowers are in 

 excessively large supply and sell 

 cheaply. Narcissus poetaz Elvira is a 

 good seller. Scarlet and white tulips, 

 double daffodils and hyacinths are hard 

 subjects to sell. Lilium longiflorum is 

 not overabundant and cleans up nicely. 

 Small lots of L. speciosum are seen. 

 Valley sells poorly; a great proportion 

 of it is of inferior quality. Yellow 

 marguerites are coming in more freely, 

 but sell well. Bachelor's buttons are in 

 disfavor and hard to clean up at quite 

 low prices. Pansies are abundant; so 

 are English primroses and anemones. 

 Cattleyas are in fair demand, but gar- 

 denias sell poorly. Green stock has a 

 moderate call. Pot plant trade is quite 

 good. 



The Club Meeting. 



There were 150 members present at 

 the March 13 meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club to hear the lecture 

 of Leonard Barron, of Garden City, 

 N. Y., on "Looking Backward and For- 

 ward." Mr. Barron commended the
