lias the call and holds up imicli hotter 

 than shipped-in consignments. Amer- 

 ican Beauties are in moderate suppW 

 and are meeting vvitlr a smaller demand, 

 as might be expected, than during the 

 holidays. The special grade blooms are 

 selling at from 25 to 50 cents each, the 

 latter j)rice being for choice stock, and 

 the other grades realize corresponding 

 prices. The supply of hybrid tea roses 

 is abundant and they meet with a fair 

 demand. Top-grade blooms are selling 

 at 10 to 30 cents per hundred, and the 

 lowest grade blooms at $2 to $5 per 

 hundred. 



There is a considerable su{iply of car- 

 nations, and they appear to be moving 

 rather slowly at .$1 to $5 per hundred. 

 The su])ply of cattleyas, cypripediums 

 and Dendrobiuin formosum is sufficient 

 to meet all demands easily, the cattlevas 

 selling at 25 to 75 cents each, the cvj)ri- 

 pe.liums at $1.50 to $2 i)er dozen and the 

 dcndrobiuiiis at 25 to ;{5 cents each. 

 Tlu'ie are plenty of gardenias, the best 

 blooms realizing .$1.50 to $,'{ per dozen. 

 They are moving slowly. White and 

 I'lnk lilies are exceedinglv scarce. The 

 former .sell at $10 and the latter at $5 

 to $S per hundre.l. Valley is plentiful

A great variety of bulbous stock is

iomlulas, a few daisies, forfjet-nic-nots, 

 irises, inijjnoiiettc in ahundaiice, jtrini- 

 uias, stevia, sweet jieas and violets, most 

 of which are moving moderately well. 

 The market is well stocked with the cus- 

 tomary indoor-prown greens, wliich are 

 meeting with a fair demand. 



The weather during the last week has 

 been severe, with the temperature 

 around the zero mark almost every morn- 

 ing. This proves hard on the night 

 forces in charge of the boilers, but as 

 yet no losses liave been reported of 

 frozen stock. With a shortage of coal 

 in this vicinity many florists are almost 

 ready to give up in despair, unless the 

 local coal comjjanies can come to the 

 rescue quickly witii a carload or so of 



coal, to tide tiie florists over the cold 

 spell. 



Various Notes. 



On account of the shortage of coal and 

 the possibility that some of the florists 

 might lie frozen out, J. Ludwig Schiller, 

 the wide-awake secretary of the Florists' 

 Club, has appealed to the coal men to 

 use every effort to protect the florists 

 from a shortage of coal, which might 

 mean utter destruction to their stock.
