Tbe Market. 



Business remained dull all last week. 

 Salesmen always report a dull week 

 while the annual carnation convention 

 is in session, but why this should af- 

 fect trade seems rather far-felched. Just 

 the same, there seems to be but little 

 doing, outside of the usual funeral 

 work. Prices, on the average, are lower. 

 Last week was cold and seasonable, 

 but, as the skies were cloudless, produc- 

 tion was well maintained. Lent will 

 soon be here, but it has ceased to have 

 any terrors for tlie growers, as sales of 

 late years have been well kept up right 

 through the period. 



Eoses are appreciably lower, although 

 they are not coming in at all heavily. 

 Carnations are also softening. Whilo 

 good flowers still make $6 per hundred, 

 with fancies and Laddie a little mdre, 

 other varieties have dropped as low as 

 $3 to $4. The quality is now superb. Vio- 

 lets arrive more freely, but do not sell 

 as in former years. Pansics are in 

 moderate supply. Sweet peas sell up 

 to $4, with some fine Spencers coming in. 

 Of bulbous flowers the supply is much 

 larger, although supplies fall far below 

 those of a few years ago. There is a 

 better supply of trumi)ct daflfodils, such 

 as Golden Spur, Silver Spur, Princeps, 

 Mrs. Walter T. Ware and Von Sion, also 

 campernelles and a few poeticus 

 ornatus. Freesias arc more plentiful 

 and there are still a few Iris tingitana. 

 Callas and liliums move more slowly, 

 also calendulas and snapdragons, while 

 the call for mignonette is weak. 



Eather more marguerites are coming 

 in and fancy flowers here made as much 

 as carnations. Some fine cut acacia 

 comes in and a variety of miscellaneous 

 flowers. There is a fine supply of sea- 

 sonable orchids and rather nice gar- 

 denias. Lily of the valley sell at from 

 $6 to $10 per hundred. Stevia is rapidly- 

 passing, also Paper White narcissi. 

 There are now excellent supplies of 

 bulbous stock in pans, cinerarias and 

 other spring blooming plants.
