Mpiition The Review when you write. 



Orchids were abundant last week and 

 prices did not vary. The average for 

 good cattleyas was $5 per dozen, while 

 a few select blooms reached 50 and 60 

 cents Saturday. The poorer grades fell 

 to 25 cents and under. Valley maintains 

 its strength and the small supply ac- 

 counts for it. Select flowers were held 

 at $8 per hundred. 



The arrivals of longiflorum lilies are in 

 excess of requirements and $4 per hun- 

 dred was the general quotation. A few 

 of the large and long-stemmed flowers 

 sold for $5 and $6 per hundred. The 

 price of gardenias grows with their 

 scarcity. 



The chilly weather seems to have ex- 

 tended far enough south to delay lilac 

 shipments. While they were due to 

 leave in April, daffodils still are with 

 us. The quality of the flowers is excel- 

 lent. Violets are through, but sweet 

 peas are still in excess of the demand. 

 The same may be said of callas, snap- 

 dragons, daisies and pansies. Tulips, 

 also, have been wasted because of poor 

 quality, the Darwins only being called 

 for. The fern supply is large. One of 

 the supply houses ships more than two 

 millions monthly.
