 sell, Sunburst and Hadley, still com- 

 mand good prices. The supply of Beau- 

 ties is not large, but is equal to the 

 demand. Carnations are much more 

 plentiful and values have shown a sharp 

 decline. Fancy flowers sell now as low

 arriving are of excellent quality and 

 make from 75 cents to $3 per hundred. 

 Violets are far fewer than in former 

 years at this season. The near approach 



of St. Valentine's day is helping to 

 clean them up. 



In the way of bulbous flowers a few 

 tulips are seen, but there is a largely in- 

 creased supply of daffodils. Of freesias 

 and Paper Whites there is an ample 

 supply. The same is true of callas and 

 liliums. Pink snapdragons continue to 

 sell well, also pansies. Calendulas are 

 now of fine quality. Cattleyas are in 

 good supply. Valley remains scarce. A 

 few nice gardenias are seen.

 looks splendid. The demand for rooted 

 cuttings of this variety is heavy and 

 many plants are cut down to produce 

 the supply needed. Rosalia looks well 

 and Mr. Goddard has a bench of Nancy, 

 selected so that it gives few, if any, 

 single flowers. Matchless is the leading 

 white, but one or two seedlings promise 

 to beat that popular sort. Doris carries
