prices took a big tumble. Business in 

 retail circles was excellent during the 

 week, but even the good demand had 

 little effect on the large quantity of 

 stock available. Sweet peas were sold 

 as low as $1 per thousand in 10,000 lots, 

 despite their fine quality. Of carnations 

 the supply was large in all varieties. 

 The heavy consignments caused prices 

 to drop to $1 per hundred in large lots. 

 The great quantities of roses that ar- 

 rived during the week glutted the mar- 

 ket, and the prices on these dropped to 

 about one-half the former quotations. 

 Kussell and Ophelia roses are coming in 

 satisfactorily and bring fair prices in 

 small lots. Peonies and cape jasmines 

 will arrive this week and crowd the 

 market until Memorial day. Shasta 

 daisies and outdoor valley are arriving 

 in large batches. Easter lilies and callas 

 are plentiful. All greens have a good 

 call.
