The Market. 



Market conditions have undergone 

 little change during the week. A few 

 inferior carnations have put in an ap- 

 pearance, but, on the whole, carnations 

 are of good quality and hold up well 

 in price. Average prices are from $6 

 to $8, but fancies still bring $10. Roses 

 are not keeping abreast of the demand, 

 which is strong. Narcissi have taken a 

 slump. Last week the general price was 

 $6, but it has dropped from $6 to $3, 

 there being an ample supply on hand. 

 Excellent long-stemmed freesias are a 

 factor in the market. In general, free- 

 sias are more conspicuous and make from 

 $S to $10, according to quality. 



Funeral work is the mainstay of the 

 market. Consequently, lilies meet with 

 ready sale and all stock available is 

 utilized. Easter lilies are scarce, but 

 callas are more ample. 



As usual, Bweet peas are good prop- 

 erty. They are coming in faster now, 



but are not plentiful and meet with im- 

 mediate sale. Other small flowers for 

 corsage and table use include orchids, 

 valley, violets, pansies, mignonette, mar- 

 guerites and calendulas. Jonquils are 

 beginning to appear and, as a first breath 

 of spring, are warmly welcomed. They 

 may claim the honor of being the most 

 popular spring decorative flower, as they 

 are always in favor for spring baskets, 

 banquet tables, parties, etc. 



An unusual demand for potted green- 

 house plants has been experienced this 

 winter. Good plants have been and are 

 good property. Cyclamens, Chatelaine 

 begonias, Lorraine begonias, Primula 

 obconica, P. malacoides and P. rosea are 

 leaders in this class. The cut blooms 

 of the baby primrose have been popular 

 in bouquets, baskets, etc. Potted ferns 

 are also popular. 



Green goods are not going to waste 

 and plumosus continues scarce.
