David Scott, of Corfu, N. Y., is ship-

 orchid peas. Both items sell fast. 



The glut of potted hyacinths, jon- 

 quils and tulips, which some of the 

 growers have experienced of late, has 

 Been somewhat diminished through 

 sales at the 5 and 10-cent stores, there- 

 by bringing some returns, instead of 

 being a dead loss. H. J. H.

The Market. 



The weather last week was excep- 

 tionally warm and bright. The sun, 

 gathering strength each day, helped 

 considerably, and stock came in quite 

 plentifully. Business in general was 

 fair and the clean-up was good, consid- 

 ering the quantity of stock of different 

 kinds to be disposed of. 



Eoses are in large supply and the 

 cut for Easter will be exceptionally fine. 

 Some especially fine Eussell, as well as 

 Killarney and White Killarney roses, 

 will be in the market, but the supply of 

 Hoosier Beauty and Ophelia roses will 

 be limited as compared with the other 

 varieties. Carnations are coming in 

 strongly and the quality is fine this 

 year. The demand has been sufficiently 

 great, however, to take up almost the 

 entire supply, and no bargain prices 

 were necessary. The prospects for 

 Easter are good and there will be a 

 heavy cut at that time. Sweet peas 

 are not so plentiful as formerly and sell 

 out each day. The quality of the stock 

 is good, but it will not cut as much of 

 a figure in the Easter business as usual. 



There will be a large supply of fine 

 double violets, but the singles are be- 

 coming scarcer each day and there will 

 be few in the market for the Easter 

 trade. There are plenty of fine orchids 

 in the market, but the demand is quite 

 light and this stock is not moving so 

 readily as it should. Cut lilies are sell- 

 ing well and the supply is large enough 

 to take care of all orders. Unless the 

 weather turns dark for a few days, 

 there is the possibility that this stock, 

 as well as some other classes of plants, 

 will be in a little too soon, as the 

 weather has been unusually bright. 



Orders for both cut flowers and 

 plants now are coming- in fast, and 

 plant shipments have been going out 

 as fast as possible during the last few 

 days. The plant business has been 

 good so far, but the supply is extra

Various Notes. 



E. H, Mazey, proprietor of the Mazey 



Floral Co., of Minneapolis, was in town 

 last week placing orders and getting 

 ready for his Easter trade. From what 

 Mr. Mazey says of the cooperation of 

 the florists of his city and the decora- 

 tive work promulgated by the city, our 

 own local trade would do well to copy
