The Market. 



Business last week was dull. There 

 were no social functions to speak of, so 

 apparently the Lenten season is being 

 observed. The supply of Beauties as 

 yet has not increased and the blooms 

 bring good prices. Other varieties of 

 roses are quite abundant. Many of the 

 growers are paying special attention to 

 rose crops for Easter. Carnations are 

 more than plentiful. These are of good 

 quality, with few splits among them. 



For the last two weeks there has been 

 a huge quantity of bulbous stock in the 

 market, the milder weather permitting 

 it to come on much faster than is de- 

 sired. The prices, however, still hold 

 up. There is an ample supply of valley, 

 with an easy demand. The supply of 

 callas and Easter lilies is more or less 

 erratic. Both are quite essential in fu- 

 neral work, which at present is a con- 

 solation to retailers. Some extra fine 

 sweet peas may be had. The best of 

 them are meeting with an eager demand. 

 Mignonette and snapdragons are excep- 

 tionally fine in some instances. There 

 is much of the short and inferior grade 

 that realizes little demand. Paper 

 Whites are on the wane. Tulips, jon- 

 quils and daffodils may be had in any 

 quantity desired. Couronne d'Or and 

 Murillo tulips, however, move quite 

 nicely. 



Asparagus and adiantum have been 

 clinging to the scarce side. Flowering 

 plants are in good supply; hyacinths 

 lead in demand, with tulips » primroses, 

 cinerarias and azaleas adding variety. 



Various Notes. 



Among recent visitors to Buffalo were 

 Mr. Wylie, of the Norwood Glass Co., 

 Wheeling, W. Va., and S. F. Fletcher, 

 of the Peters & Reed Pottery Co., Zanes- 

 ville, Ohio. 



Eobert Shoch, of the M. Rice Co., 

 Philadelphia, had a fine display of 

 baskets and ware at the Statler hotel 

 last week. 



George McClure was at New York on 

 business last week. 



The conservatory and interior fixtures 

 of the new store of W. J. Palmer & Son, 

 on Delaware avenue, are being com- 

 pleted. Those who have seen the store 

 say it will be one of the finest in the 



Do It Now! 



Go over your Rose Houses carefully and estimate the plants you need 

 for replatiting this Spring, and place your order. Roses are going to be 

 scarce. The Manetti situation is such that those who get it are fortunate, and the 

 demand is far greater than the limited supply. We have sold over 100.000 grafted 

 Roses in the last two weeks. We have 200.000 more to sell. There is considerable 

 building contemplated. "Changing from Carnations to Roses" is a frequent expla- 

 nation made when placing an order. If you are short at planting time it will be 

 your fault and not ours. The growing of grafted Roses is an industry in itself. At 

 Cromwell the large auantity of Roses grown for cut flowers makes it possible to get 

 scions that are first-class. We want your Rose Plant order, and we want to be able 

 to say "yes" to your inquiry. Estimate your requirements and write us.
