The Eastern Market. 



The supply of flowers is heavy, the 

 quality very good for the season. Busi- 

 ness keeps up fairly well, with prices 

 low. The difference between fine and 

 ordinary stock is marked. For instance, 

 eastern Beauties, new crop Kaiserins, 

 Bussell and Mock roses sell fairly v/ell 

 at excellent prices, as do choice or- 

 chids, valley, sweet peas and carnations, 

 while the ordinary grades of stock go 

 begging a buyer at extremely low fig- 

 ures. Peonies are becoming more plen- 

 tiful, southern stock, Double corn- 

 flower has arrived; it brings surprising 

 money. Baby gladioli are plentiful and 

 near-by dagger ferns have come. Sweet 

 peas have shortened in numbers de- 

 cidedly; many of the growers have fin- 

 ished cutting from their winter crops, 

 while others might as well have fin- 

 ished, so much has the quality retro- 

 graded. There is outdoor valley. The 

 Easter lily conditions have improved a 

 little. If only the growers would re- 

 member not to bring in their lilies for 

 throe weeks after Easter! There are 

 always enough belated pot lilies to sup- 

 ply the marJiet for set least three weeks 

 after the holiday; it is a time when 

 they are little used anyhow. 



Indications point to a heavy supply 

 of good quality flowers for Memorial 

 day, with part but by no means all of 

 the local peony crop in bloom.
