The Market. 



Demand and supply are more evenly 

 balanced now than they have been for 

 a fortnight or more. It has been possi- 

 ble to dispose of the heavy receipts of 

 carnations, violets and daffodils at mod- 

 erate prices. Perhaps it would be fairer 

 to say that the prices have been ex- 

 tremely moderate for the season. There 

 is a tendency toward better things, al- 

 though this is more noticeable in the 

 average price than in any special ad- 

 vance. Roses are quite scarce. The 

 demand is largejy f^^ the shorts, with 

 a moderate call for'tne highest grades. 

 Orchids are in rather bad shape despite 

 the disappearance for the time being of 

 the mixed varieties, leaving only cat- 

 tleyas, of which there are too many, 

 and cypripediums. Gardenias have suf- 

 fered also, but valley shows decided 

 improvement. Sweet peas are selling 

 better, the Spencers especially so. The 

 price has moderated, Callas are in de- 

 mand. Snapdragon is quite scarce. 

 Easter lilies are too plentiful, requiring 

 low prices to dispose of them. Golden 

 Spur daffodils have arrived. There is 

 a good supply of freesia. Paper Whites 

 continue plentiful and cheap. White 

 lilac is abundant with the specialist. 

 Yellow daisies and pansies are moder- 

 ately plentiful. Beauties show a tend- 

 ency to advance under lighter receipts, 

 Russell also has fallen off in numbers, 

 as have Richmond and Ward, With 

 some growers the Killarneys are coming 

 into crop again, although they are not

"Have you looked carefully over our 

 new catalogue just issued?" The ques- 

 tion was asked by Henry F. Michell, 

 as he turned with a bright smile of 

 greeting in his commodious store the 

 other morning. Stepping to the counter 

 opposite, Mr. Michell drew a copy from 

 its wrapper, glamed at the handsome 

 ':over page and lightly turned the pages. 



Doing so displayed in rapid succession 

 the history of his seed house since 1890. 

 There were the pictures of the founder, 

 looking as alert- as then; of the two 

 stores, from start to present, the im- 

 provement apparent at a glance; the 

 men who have helped to make the place 

 what it is, their assistants, their sur- 

 roundings, the trial grounds at Anda- 

 lusia, and all that to it pertains. The 

 view in panorama recalls the young
