The Market. 



The market is cleaned up early each 

 day. Often everything is sold long be- 

 fore it is cut. Koses, especially, have 

 had a great demand, with a pitifully 

 small supply. All retailers have been 

 obliged to curtail orders. Fortunately, 

 there has been no big work and it may 

 be that, with nice weather again, we 

 shall get by. Every item in the grow- 

 ing end was scarce last week. The 

 quality was good. All carnation grow- 

 ers are fortunate this winter. The 

 stock has been good and the deman4 

 has more than taken up all that the 

 growers have produced thus far. Good 

 carnations are selling at $8 per hundred, 

 with an occasional order at $10 per 

 hundred. However, some nice white 

 carnations have been selling at $6 per 

 hundred. . 



Lilies of all kinds are scarce. Callas 

 are in great demand, with only one-half 

 enough to supply the demand. Some 

 valley is to be had, but is nothing 

 extra, selling at $6 and $8 per hundred. 

 Nearly all the growers are cutting an 

 exceptionally heavy crop of sweet peas. 

 "White narcissi are in fair supply. 

 Calendulas never were better and are 

 becoming popular, especially for the 

 dinner tables. Freesias are just begin- 

 ning to make their first appearance. 

 Home-grown violets never were better 

 and stems are getting a little longer. 

 There is a fair movement of flowering 

 plants, especially cyclamens and cinera- 

 rias, but most of the stores are using 

 them in decorative displays in the store 

 and window.
