The Market. 



On the whole, business last week was 

 satisfactory. While one or two days 

 were clear and warm, the weather in 

 the main was cold, sunless and wet, 

 snow falling on one or two days. This 

 materially shortened up supplies of 

 roses and carnations, and no great sur- 

 pluses were carried over. Roses have 

 done fully as well as a week ago and 

 short-stemmed flowers have averaged 

 rather better. The greater demand is, 

 as usual, for the newer varieties, like 

 Pilgrim, Columbia, Premier and Mme. 

 Butterfly, with Hadley still realizing 

 the highest prices and Ophelia, Russell, 

 Ward and Miller all in good demand. 

 The small corsage roses continue to sell 

 well. 



Carnations are much the same as a 

 week ago. Good colored flowers sell at 

 $5 per hundred, but there is a consider- 

 able surplus of whites. Laddie now is 

 in heavier crop and sells well. Mar- 

 guerites are arriving in great abun- 

 dance and values on these have taken a 

 tumble. Sweet peas are still of good 

 quality. The best now have trouble in 

 bringing $2 per hundred; a good many 

 short-stemmed flowers sell lower. 



Lilies and callas average $8 to $12 

 per hundred and there is an abundant 

 supply of each. Snapdragons, as usual, 

 remain more or less druggy, and calen- 

 dulas are overplentiful. The supply of 

 Dutch bulbous flowers is comparatively 

 small, as indoor supplies are now en- 

 tirely exhausted and only a few grow- 

 ers have them outdoors. Showing the 

 earliness of the season, the ordinary 

 bedding tulips are now at their best, 

 and many Darwins are already open, 

 while even the late-blooming Narcissus 

 poeticus is flowering, although last 

 year a good many remained until Me- 

 morial day. 



There is not much call for myosotis, 

 bachelor's buttons and miscellaneous 

 flowers. Pansies are abundant, and the 

 best realize $1.50 to $2 per hundred. A 

 fair supply of Cattleya Mossiae is still 

 available.
