The Market. 



On account of the small supply of flow- 

 ers, the market continues to be on a 

 strong basis. With the exception of 

 carnations, which, consequent upon a 

 greater supply, have declined materially 

 in price, there is not much change in 

 conditions to be noted. The buying is 

 not heavy; in fact, is far from normal, 

 but with the supply really inadequate 

 and prices abnormally high, transactions 

 are easy of accomplishment and clear- 

 ances are made early. 



Eoses are most in demand and much 

 more stock could be moved than is avail- 

 able. The quality is fine and the grades 

 in supply are chiefly No. 1 and longer. 

 Some fine Killarneys are noted and the 

 new rose, Columbia, is in exhibition 

 form. 



The late planted carnations are in full 

 cut and the supply is generous, but not 

 enough to pull down prices far from 

 the figures held during the holidays. 

 Choice stock of Mrs. C. W. Ward and 

 Benora bring slightly higher prices than 

 the choicest of other varieties, which 

 must be good to bring $8 per hundred. 



There is a good supply of orchids, 

 both of cattleyas and the spray sorts, 

 and the movement is good. In the ab-

sence of really good sweet peas and a 

 sufficiency of violets, cattleyas arc en- 

 joying an excellent call for corsage bou- 

 quet requirements. Good quality sweet 

 peas are bringing $4 per hundred, and 

 the best as much as $5, while violets in 



the best grades move quickly at $2. 

 With the snappy cold weather now being 

 experienced, the sweet pea supply .is ex- 

 pected to increase and at rational prices 

 a greater supply will certainly be wel- 

 comed.
