never is a time when growers' average 

 prices are up to the prices asked for 

 selected stock, but there has been a dis- 

 tinct approach to that point during the 

 last few days. Beauties continue to sell 

 especially well, because the stock is 

 good and not in excessive quantity. 

 Mrs. Russell cut from young plants is 

 fine and predictions that the variety 

 would lose popularity with the public 

 are as yet unfulfilled. Perhaps the 

 greatest improvement in the market 

 since last report has been in the aver- 

 age price of Premier and Columbia. 

 These two now clear well. Other roses, 

 while available in considerable quanti- 

 ties, are a distinctly second considera- 

 tion as compared with those named 

 above. 



The carnation has again become a 

 regular item of stock. An increase in 

 the demand for funeral work has im- 

 proved the salability of the flowers, but 

 they are not good for much else. The 

 stems are too short and many of the 

 flowers are too poor to be useful for 

 anything except filling a design. Coin- 

 cident with the increase in the supply 

 of carnations, there has been reduction 

 in the quantity of asters, though it is

still rather large. However, asters are 

 selling better than they were, because 

 there has been a distinct improvement 

 in demand. 



Gladioli are on the down grade. 

 There still are considerable quantities, 

 but the number of houses handling large 

 cuts is reduced. They still sell well, 

 although some retailers report that the 

 public is becoming satiated by so long 

 a season. 



Chrysanthemums are in larger sup- 

 ply, but not yet always to be had ex- 

 cept on advance orders. Several varie- 

 ties of helianthus are scon in the mar- 

 ket and tritoma sells well. Easter lilies 



are to be had on advance orders an-l 

 there is some increase in the supply of 

 valley, though no decrease in price. 

 Cattleyas continue scarce. Shipments 

 are arriving from the east. 



Green goods of all kinds are eqiuil tn 

 the market's needs. 



Various Notes. 



Carnations occupy more space than 

 ever before at Alois Frey's place fi^ 

 Crown Point. The removal of the free- 

 sia stock to California made consider 

 able space, the only freesias to be 

 grown at Crown Point this year beinjj 

 thase intended for cutting. Droppinji
