The Market. 



Carnations in large quantities could 

 be bought lust week as low as $C per hun- 

 dred. The winm weather brought them 

 out in large numbers and they are good 

 in quality. Democracy and Laddie are 

 $10 and $12 per hundred. There was a 

 surplus each day on carnations, but the 

 market cleaned uj) well February 26. 

 The market as a whole was brisk and, 

 although there was a lot of stock offered, 

 it cleaned up pretty well. Eoscs also 

 are much more plentiful, the prices rang- 

 ing for good stock from $8 to $25 per 

 hundred. Hadleys are bringing from 

 $20 to $40 per hundred. Some Amer- 

 ican Beauty roses came into the market 

 at $9 per dozen. 



Easter lilies arc being offered at $20 

 per hundred, but they are not in de- 

 mand, owing to the large quantity of 

 cheap carnations that are available on 

 the market for funeral work. Freesia 

 is priced at $1.50 to $4 per hundred. 



Sweet peas also have taken a drop in 

 the market. The best peas are to be had 

 at $2, while some of the shorter-stemmed 

 stock was offered at $1.50. 



Cattleyas flooded the market dur- 

 ing the week and these sold as low 

 as $35 per hundred. The sale of lily of 

 the valley was slow at $8 and $10 per 

 hundred. Jonquils moved fairly well 

 all through the week at $6 per hundred. 

 Selected stock brought $10 and $12 per 

 hundred. Single violets, locally grown, 

 were plentiful, and are of excellent qual- 

 ity, prices ranging from $7.50 to $10 per 

 thousand. 



A large stock of potted primroses at 

 50 cents to $1 each were offered, but the 

 market failed to absorb any quantity. 

 Potted hyacinths and tulips have been 

 in good demand. 



Various Notes. 



Gude Bros. Co. have announced that 

 they will begin the erection of three 

 large houses and a garage at their north- 

 east range. The houses will be 45x250 

 feet, and will be devoted largely to the 

 production of carnations, Easter lilies 

 and greens. As soon as these houses arc 

 completed, Mr. Gude plans to go ahead 

 with additional construction work. He 

 anticipates a continuance of the pres- 

 ent good business throughout the sum- 

 mer months. T. N. S.
