all that this day will absorb more stock 

 than ever before in the history of the 

 market. 



Stock is coming in good shape and in 

 good supply. Prices continue to hold up 

 stiff. The rose situation is much changed 

 from last week. Medium and short- 

 stemmed stock in every variety can in 

 no way supply the trade's immediate 

 needs. There is, however, enough long- 

 stemmed stock to go around. Prices con- 

 tinue strong. Beauties in all lengths of 

 stem are scarce and have advanced in 

 price. An abundant supply of carna- 

 tions continues to come in, with prices 

 remaining the same as in the last few 

 weeks. Fancy stock sells well and is 

 none too plentiful, but there is a small 

 outlet for the large quantity of splits 

 coming in, in spite of the large run of 

 funeral work. Some of the stock has 

 been so poor that it is unsalable. 



Orchids remain on the long side and 

 have dropped a notch in price. A 

 steady call for valley continues and 

 there is just about enough to go around. 

 Violets still arrive in quantity and there 

 are more than enough for the present 

 demand. Callas are still on the short 

 side, while Easter lilies are moderately 

 plentiful, there being enough to fill all 

 orders. Calendulas are somewhat scarce; 

 likewise sweet peas, although the pick 

 of the latter has been increased and im- 

 proved by the bright weather. Stevia 

 is extremely short and is about over for 

 the season. There is still a shortage of 

 yellow narcissi, but Paper Whites are 

 plentiful. Tulips arrive in better sup- 

 ply ; however, there are not yet enough to 

 go around. A few jonquils are seen. 

 Freesia is coming in quite plentifully 



The Call 



—is for better stock at lower prices

and there is enough for immediate 

 needs; this is also true of Eoman hya- 

 cinths. 



There is no change in the green goods 

 market; there is plenty of everything.
