nations have reached the market. They 

 have been selling at from 10 to 12 cents, 

 with not enough to go around at these 

 figures. 



Of the miscellaneous flowers there has 

 been almost no increase in the supply 

 since Christmas. Cattleyas are almost 

 the only flowers which are more abun- 

 dant than they have been in the last 

 fortnight. TriansB is just coming into 

 crop and prices have fallen, being half 

 Christmas values or two-thirds the early 

 December values. Those who consider 

 themselves in position to prognosticate 

 predict that there will be plenty of cat- 

 tleyas as long as Trianse is in season. 

 Valley also is more abundant. The de- 

 mand has been materially reduced by 

 the high prices. Violets are slightly 

 more plentiful, but so much cannot be 

 said for sweet peas; good peas are hard 

 to come at. There are practically no 

 Easter lilies, but callas have made their 

 appearance in some quantity. Jonquils 

 are here.

There is an abundance of greens, even 

 boxwood, a number of delayed ship- 

 ments having arrived some days after 

 Christmas. 



December Weather. 



December was an unusually difficult 



month for the growers. It is necessary 

 to go back in the records of the weather 

 bureau to 1876 to find a colder Decem- 

 ber. In addition to the abnormally low 

 temperature, the month was cloudy and 

 dark, there being only thirty-six per 

 cent of the possible amount of sunshine.
