is rather more jilentiful than it has been 

 for some time, but, except for carried- 

 over stock, tlie top price for specials is 

 $75 jier hundifd, the same as in the 

 previous \veei<, witli clearances of in- 

 terior flowers in the same grade as low 

 as $3(1. Hybrid teas are quite abundant 

 and the shortage in the lower grades 

 seems to have passed. 



Carnations are in good supjily, but 

 niudi inferior stock is arriving, also 

 many splits. The demand is fair, but 

 much stock is housed in the iceboxes 

 overnight. 



Cattleyas are in fair supply, but 

 really good flowers are somewhat scarce; 

 $!;■) to $7."i JUT hundred is about the 

 range, with a rather sluggish demand. 

 Longiflorum lilies are cpiite plentiful 

 again, with movement .slow at $8 to $20 

 per hundred. If Easter ])rices for cut 

 stock are to l>i> much Jidvanced over 

 this range, there is no indication of it 

 at present. Lily of the valley continues 

 to b^' in oversupply, the best bringing 

 no more than $4 per hundred sprays. 

 Gardenias are more plentiful than ever 

 and move slowly at from $.") to $25 per 

 hundred. 



Arrivals of miscellaneous flowers 

 continue on the heavy side, jiarticular 

 ly of sweet peas. Snapdragons, myos(t- 

 tis, daisies, calendulas, pansies, stocks, 

 violets, wallflowers and primulas are all 

 Jilentiful, but move fairly well. 



Various Notes. 



Monday, March 29, Park Commis- 

 sioner Francis D. Callatiu will estab- 

 lish two municiital flower markets, one 

 on the <'entral I'ark Plaza, at Columbus 

 Circle, near the Maine monument, the 

 other in T'nion Square. The commis- 

 sioner calls this an experiment in the 

 beautiful, with the jiurpose, not so much 

 of giving ojqiortunity for barter, as of 

 giving the jKior and the dweller in three 

 or four rooms a chance to satisfy a 

 longing for flowers at a minimum of ex- 

 pense. If, at the end of a month, it is 

 found that growers do not show appre- 

 ciation of the plan by lending their 

 support or that the public does not take 

 to the idea, the experiment will be dis- 

 continued. Monday and Wednesday of 

 each week are to be regular market 

 days, when the markets will be open 

 from 7 a. m. to ."> p. m., and Saturdays 

 the hours will be from 1 p. m. to 5 p. m.
