The Market. 



The market continues to be entirely 

 in favor of the growers. Prices remain 

 high and arrivals are soon cleaned up. 

 There have been some large funeral 

 orders for j)rominent men, which have 

 called for a considerable number of 

 flowers, and while the skies have been 

 generally clear and in favor of increased 

 production, the supply lias been below 

 the demand. 



A fairly good sujjply of roses is com- 

 ing in, but they are speedily sold at 

 from $10 per hundred upward. The de- 

 mand is strong for shorts for funeral 

 work and medium grades, but less robust 

 for fancies. The sujjply of red roses is 

 small, but Ophelia, Columbia and Pre- 

 mier are in good supply. Killarney, as 

 usual, sells lower than any other vari- 

 eties. 



There is a strong market for carna- 

 tions, the general average being $10 to 

 $112 per hundred, with Maine Sunshine 

 and Laddie a little higher. Violets are 

 being taken in hand a little better at 

 the stores and prices are much the same 

 as a week ago. There is a moderate suji- 

 j)ly of pansies. 



Paper Whites are not any too plenti- 

 ful and arc firmer in price. Daffodils, 

 as yet, are scirce and have sold as high 

 as $14 per hundred. Tulips are few .mid 

 short-stemmed. A few campernelle jon- 

 quils and Roman hyacinths are seen. 

 Sweet peas sell better and such margue- 

 rites as come in sell quickly. Stevia is 

 shortening up and will soon' be gone. 

 Callas make $3 to $4 per dozen and 

 Easter lilies, $25 per hundred. Only 

 sm.ill lots of miscellaneous flowers, like
