The Market. 



During last week the supply became 

 much heavier than it was and the market 

 eased up greatly. , However, nearly 

 everything coming into the wholesale 

 houses sells readily. Shipping business 

 holds up well. Eoses are more plentiful 

 than they were at the last writing, but 

 still they are cleaning up easily. The 

 carnation market has eased up consider- 

 ably. Some excellent Easter lilies, callas 

 and rubrums are available and find a 

 good market. Sweet peas are plentiful 

 and are selling well. The list of bulbous 

 offerings includes jonquils, daffodils, 

 tulips, Dutch hyacinths, freesias and 

 Narcissus poeticus. Single violets are 

 plentiful, while a good supply of doubles 

 is available. Snapdragons continue to 

 find a good market. Among other offer- 

 ings are calendulas, mignonette, wall- 

 flowers, forget-me-nots and baby prim- 

 roses. Greens of all kinds meet with a 

 good demand. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell has been getting some 

 of the best sweet peas ever seen in this 

 market from Henry Koester. 



Arthur Becker is at the store again, 

 having recovered from his recent ill- 

 ness. 



Mrs. H. V. Thaden has sold her flower 

 store to E. H. Urlage. 



Walter Gray has been selling some 

 fancy callas and freesias to L. H. Kyrk. 



The William Murphy Co. has been hav- 

 ing an excellent run on home-grown 

 sweet peas during the last fortnight. 

 Last week they disposed of 46,000, for 

 one grower alone. 



Edward H. Fries has been seriously 

 ill during the last fortnight.

S. J. Goddard called attention to the 

 Dorner seedlings on trial here and any- 

 one who has seen them growing in the 

 two places is at once convinced of the 

 wisdom of testing out under entirely dif- 

 ferent conditions. Curiously enough, 

 the plants are in better shape here than 

 at home, which is explained by the set- 

 back at Lafayette, which will take an- 

 other season before conditions become 

 normal again. Three highly promising 

 seedlings were noted — a white, No. 141- 

 15; a scarlet, No. 167-12, and No. 136, a 

 lovely pink which might be classed as an 

 improved morning-glory. Pink Sensa- 

 tion, Laddie and Rosalia are bringing 

 the highest prices in this market. Mr. 

 Goddard observed that they are monu- 

 ments to the Dorner boys, although it is 

 not believed that the climax has been 

 attained. Missing one year means a 

 great deal and will make the debutantes 

 the more valuable. 



Goddard 's crimson, Doris, is a big 

 favorite and takes well in England, to 

 which country a shipment of unrooted 

 cuttings was recently made by parcel 

 post. They arrived in fine shape. A 

 seedling snapdragon was noted. It is 

 of a deeper shade than Keystone, the 

 color of which is the only drawback to 

 that popular variety. 



Dorner 's seedling chrysanthemums are 

 giving a good account of themselves, 

 while a bench of roses, consisting of 

 Bussell, Premier, Columbia and Rose 

 Marie, proves that the same treatment 

 is agreeable to all. W. M.
