George Burton, whose purchase at 

 Arlington, Pa., was held up by a battle 

 between two departments of the Penn-

 this an excellent dahlia for cut flowers

The Market. 



Business last week was exceptionally 

 good, but with it came a scarcity of flow- 

 ers of all kinds. This shortening of 

 stock was felt more iu roses than in 

 anything else, and the wholesalers and 

 growers cleaned up every day. Aside 

 from some of the short-stemmed roses, 

 which brought $4 per hundred, there was 

 a ready sale of other stock at from $6 

 to $15 per hundred. The supply of 

 American Beauty roses dwindled, al- 

 though the price remained at $6 per 

 dozen. There -were plenty of carnations 

 until January 33. On that day carna- 

 tions cleaned up more quickly than 

 usual and the market was bare at noon. 

 The prices remained at $4 and $5 per 

 hundred, with only a few selling at $3. 



Spring flowers made their appearance 

 in the market last week, among these 

 being tulips, daffodils, yellow narcissi 

 and freesias. There were not enough 

 of these to go around, and a number of 

 orders had to go unfilled. The prices 

 on these averaged about $4 per hundred. 

 White narcissus has had its run and, 

 while quite good as to quality and not 

 overplentiful, its popularity has receded 

 and the call is not heavy. Stevia still 

 is to be had and it is selling fairly well 

 because of the shortage of other flowers. 

 Single violets, as fine as have ever been 

 seen in this market, are proving popular, 

 but, while much better than the doubles, 

 they are bringing only 50 cents to $1 per
