The Market. 



The anticipated break in cut flower 

 prices has not yet materialized, nor are 

 much lower prices probable while such 

 abnormal climatic conditions continue. 

 January 31 and February 1 gave us the 

 lowest temperatures of the entire 

 season. Such weather is conducive 

 neither to flower production nor to 

 flower selling. Arrivals continue com- 

 paratively small and there is little sur- 

 plus of anything. Influenza in a mild 

 form is prevalent, but deaths are few 

 and it is not believed the epidemic will 

 prove serious. 



Roses are coming in a little more 

 freely, but prices hold up well. A few 

 warm days would see abundant supplies. 

 Prices on hybrid teas vary from $14 to 

 $40 per hundred. No good American 

 Beauties are coming in; the few arriv- 

 ing have short stems. Carnations have 

 not shown any decline; in fact, prices 

 have been a little stiffer than in the 

 week before. Some fancies realize $18 

 to $20, but the general average sell at 

 $10 to $15. Violets remain about the 

 same. Pansies are more plentiful and 

 of fine quality at $2 to $4 per hundred. 

 Daffodils are a little more plentiful, but 

 still realize high prices. Tulips are

scarce. Campernelles, Eoman hyacinths 

 and other bulbs are seen in small lots. 

 Lilium formosum is coming from a 

 number of growers, selling at $35 per 

 hundred. Callas continue to sell well. 

 Sweet peas are in good supply and the 

 prices vary according to quality from 

 $1.50 to $5. Wallflowers and myosotis 

 move rather slowly. Antirrhinums sell 

 at from $12 to $30 per hundred. Free- 

 sias are as plentiful as anything on the 

 market; the best realize $8 to $10. 

 Stevia is nearing the end. Cattleya 

 Triana" is in good supply and prices have 

 slumped considerably. The demand for 



ferns and asparagus is comparatively 

 light. 



The demand for pot plants is re- 

 stricted by severe weather, but a good 

 assortment of flowering plants is now 

 offered. Among the cheaper kinds, 

 cinerarias are selling better than ever 

 before. 



Various Notes. 



Owing to the intensely cold weather 

 .Tanuary 31, the large orchid display 

 which A. C. Burragc, of Beverly Farms, 

 had planned to make at Horticultural 

 hall, had to be canceled. The plants were
