Penn, as usual, had a splendid St. 

 Patrick's day window, which seemed to 

 attract numerous passers-by, and they 

 report an excellent volume of business 

 for that day. 



C. S. Andem, of Putnam, Conn., is 

 shipping all his flowers now to Stephen 

 Green. He is strong on Matchless, Pink 

 Delight, Gloriosa and Benora. The last 

 named now comes rather weak-stemmed. 

 Other varieties grown are Gloriosa, 

 Nancy, Aviator and Nebraska. The two 

 last named he thinks highly of and will 

 plant more of them in 1919. 



Welch Bros. Co. has an attractive 

 display of pink rambler roses and other 

 flowering plants in the store and re- 

 ports business in them as being good. 



March has entirely belied its reputa- 

 tion so far. There is no frost left in 

 the ground and the large market gar- 

 deners in and around Boston have much 

 land plowed and a good number of 

 vegetable seeds in the ground. 



H. F. Calder is a large shipper of 

 anemones and sweet peas, in addition 

 to double violets, which latter are his 

 main specialty. W. N. C.

The Market. 



The local wholesale market was in a 

 splendid condition last week, although 

 the demand was not so brisk as it has 

 been, owing to the first week of the 

 Lenten season. 



The weather has been like summer and 

 it is feared that bulbous stock and vio- 

 lets will be over by Easter, which is 

 late this year. Easter lily pot plants 

 are the main source of worry to the 

 retailer this year, as the local growers 

 have none. At present the great per- 

 centage of the retailers report funeral 

 work alone is keeping them busy. The 

 warm sunshine has brought out a large 

 quantity of bulbous stock and the de-

mand is not equal to the supply. Sweet 

 peas are extra fine and heavy in supply 

 and the price has dropped considerably. 

 Calendulas and mignonette are abun- 

 dant, as are callas and freesias. Car- 

 nations are in larger supply than at 

 any time this season and excellent stock 

 can be bought at 5 or 6 cents. March
