NEW YOKE. 



The Market. 



The supply of cut flowers is now 

 nearly normal for this time of year. 

 Heavy arrivals of bulbous flowers and 

 a greatly increased cut of carnations 

 have relieved the scarcity which has 

 characterized the market for two or 

 three weeks. Prices, in consequence, 

 have fallen to a point which may also 

 be considered nearly normal. Express 

 deliveries are still held up and most 

 wholesalers meet arrivals of consign- 

 ments and transport them to the stores. 

 It is hard to say when this condition 

 is likely to be removed, for it evidently 

 suits the express authorities. 



There are not too many roses, yet at 

 times the movement of the long- 

 stemmed grades is slow. American 

 Beauty specials remain at the $1.25 

 pinnacle and the supply available in 

 the best grades is rather slim. Some of 

 the American Beauty growers of late 

 have been taking note of the returns 

 for the special grades of hybrid teas 

 and may decide to cut down the pro- 

 duction of the Beauties, which do not 

 crop so well. The supply of hybrid teas 

 is better, but not what it might be ex- 

 pected to be in February. Short grades 

 continue scarce and this condition, of 

 course, gives impetus to the better 

 grades, although frequently long- 

 stemmed stock is let go at concessions 

 to even up the supply. Prices have 

 been affected by the heavy arrivals of 

 other staples and the range now may 

 be said to be $4 to $25 per hundred, 

 with $35 per hundred for the extra 

 special grades of some varieties. 



There are plenty of carnations, vastly 

 more than have been arriving for daily 

 market this season. With a flood of 

 other stock, prices of carnations have 

 been forced down to a point more nearly 

 normal, $4 to $6 per hundred now being 

 the range. 



Cattleyas are quite plentiful, but the 

 quality is nothing to boast of, the bulk 

 of arrivals running to the lower grades. 

 Prices now are within a range of $15 

 to $50 per hundred, with $75 per hun- 

 dred for selected flowers and hybrids. 

 There is a small supply of oncidium 

 sprays and a few other decorative or- 

 chids. Cypripediums are plentiful, bat 

 the price keeps up, $2 to $5 per dozen 

 fltill being about the range. Gardenias 

 are in only fair supply and appear now 

 to hang fire considerably at $3 to $6 

 per dozen. A small supply of acacia is 

 available, at $2 to $4 per bunch, and 

 lilac is bringing $1.50 to $2.50 per 

 bunch. 



Easter lilies are a trifle more plenti- 

 ful, but this is not saying much, al- 

 though prices remain high, $35 per hun- 

 dred for the best. A few rubrums are 

 still to be had, at $10 to $15 per hun- 

 dred. Lily of the valley is arriving in 

 such quantities as to make clearances 

 difficult. The supply now seems to be 

 divided among more than one or two 

 growers and prices are "down to 

 earth," running well within a range of 

 50 cents to $6 per hundred. It is quite 

 safe to say that more stock is coming 

 than the market demands. 



Arrivals of spring flowers are heavier, 

 particularly tulips and narcissi. Tulips
