The Market. 



The wholosalers feel that the danger 

 of overproduction before Easter has 

 passed. The market has been active at 

 moderate prices for the flowers re- 

 ceived. 



There is no especial change in con- 

 ditions since last week's report. Sweet 

 peas are extremely fine. They are 

 offered in some ten different varieties, 

 covering white, purple, two shades of 

 lavender and half a dozen shades of 

 pink. Daffodils, mostly Emperor, are 

 to be seen everywhere. The receipts of 

 daffies are simply enormous. The qual- 

 ity stands prei-minently high, while the 

 price for such fine stock is exceedingly 

 moderate. In fact, good judges believe 

 that these Emperors are produced at a 

 loss, but the growers insist that this is 

 not tlie case. One of the loading grow- 

 ers of Emperor daffodils said this week 

 that by careful buying, economical han- 

 dling and putting the price within reach 

 of all classes of buyers, these fine flow- 

 ers were grown at a moderate profit. 

 Curiously enough, such heavy crops 

 turn small buyers into large ones. I 

 mean by that, that those buyers who 

 are ordinarily classed as large do not 

 move many iow-priced daffodils. It is 

 the smaller buyers and those who are 

 tempted into the market by the pros- 

 pect of a quick turnover. Many of 

 these are street men. 



Owing to the frost in Florida, A spar 

 agus plumosus sprays continue scarce, 

 but they are slowly coming in again.
