The Market. 



Last week clean sales continued at 

 all the wholesale cut flower markets, as 

 business was rushing between the holi- 

 days, with many social affairs. Good 

 business was reported by all the leading 

 retailers and Cliristmas prices generally 

 were maintained. 



New Year 's business was not so heavy 

 as that of Christmas. Still many say 

 that decorations for watch-night parties 

 used up considerable cut stock and 

 plants. 



There was a shortage of short-stemmed 

 roses, which were more in demand than 

 the long, fancy stock, as prices were 

 based on the length of tlic stem. This 

 applied to Premier, Russell and Ophelia. 

 Some splendid Richmond and Milady 

 were noticed in last week's consign- 

 ments. Carnations were still short of 

 the demand and tlie few thousand that 

 came in cleaned up early each day at 

 high prices. The growers say that with 

 a week of clear weather the supply will 

 equal the demand at lower prices. 



New Y'ear's saw tlie last cut in chrys- 

 anthemums when a good many left- 

 overs came in. Sweet peas, usually 

 plentiful at this time, have been scarce 

 so far tliia season. Tliose, too, should be 

 in big crop with a week of clear weather. 



Violets came in well last week, but 

 the usual big crop failed tlie growers 

 this year, with record prices at $4 per 

 hundred for choice. 



Bulbous stock is exceedingly scarce 

 this season. Tlio usual heavy supply of 

 Paper Wliites is also missing and the 

 shipments clean up every day at from 

 $8 to $10 per hundred. Some especially 

 fine stevia and mignonette were seen in 

 the market last week, also a limited
