Gentlemen:- ^ 



A few weeks a^ I started a snail card In the 

 Retailers* Telegraph Delivery department of The Review, 



I have paid you only 13.50 so far. And this is . 

 what happened: 



I received orders for Wyoming delivery at Christ- 

 mas amounting to $143.%0. 



I think that is doing fairly well. , 

 Respectfully yours.

The Market. 



Although Lent is here and there is a 

 decided suggestion of spring in the air, 

 business is holding up nicely. The 

 warmer weather has increased produc- 

 tion considerably, but demand also has 

 shown some improvement. There is still 

 considerable social activity and the old- 

 time Lenten slump is bo longer feared. 

 Roses are slightly lower, except that 

 special Beauties are in somewhat 

 shorter supply and have held their own. 

 The call for Beauties, however, was not 

 strong last week. Short-stemmed flow- 

 ers average $1 per hundred less and 

 other grades have declined a little. Car- 

 nations have stiffened and the prices 

 averaged better last week than for 

 some time back, although arrivals were 

 quite heavy. 



Violets continue to sell at low, un- 

 profitable prices. Many singles only 

 realize $2.50 per thousand. Sweet peas 

 sell well and some splendid winter 

 Spencers are coming in. Yellow mar- 

 guerites continue to equal carnations in 

 value. So far there has been no glut 

 in bulbous flowers, and this has proved 

 an agreeable surprise. A few Spanish 

 irises are now appearing; the first ar- 

 rived February 13. Forget-me-not is 

 heavily overdone and hard to sell. Pink 

 snapdragon is scarce, but white is 

 abundant; it does not sell like the pink, 

 however. There have been somewhat 

 too many lilies and callas. Good valley 

 moves well, but a lot of poor material 

 is arriving. Cattleyas move slowly; the
