FHTLADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



The week commencing February 25 

 opened with a surplus of unsold flowers, 

 due chiefly to the increased production 

 of a couple of warm days. This sur- 

 plus was pretty well carried oflf by the 

 end of the week, but it required much 

 effort and price inducement. The prin- 

 cipal sufferer was the sweet pea; the 

 pea vines must have been just in shape 

 to respond to the warm sunshine with 

 bounteous crops. The pick was so heavy 

 that even price concessions failed to 

 find buyers for them all at once. Per- 

 haps * ' at once ' ' seems a sudden way of 

 putting it, but that exactly describes 

 the way the peas came down on the 

 market. Then there were violets, double 

 and single, as good as you could pos- 

 sibly ask, but so many that nothing 

 seemed possible when it came to dis- 

 posing of them all. Bulbous flowers 

 always suffer badly in times of over- 

 production. Daffodils were relieved a 

 bit by the arrival of Emperor in such 

 fine form that it brought twice as much 

 as Golden Spur. Couronne d 'Or leads the 

 tulips in favor, partly because of its 

 rich color and partly because it is less 

 grown, the margin being smaller. 

 Freesia is badly hit, despite fine 

 quality. 



To return to the staple flowers, roses 

 and carnations, the market is in better 

 shape. The shorts have suffered most 

 in roses. The whole carnation list 

 dropped about twenty-five per cent at 

 the beginning of the current week, Feb-

ruary 25 to March 3, and then streng- 

 thened, not advanced, under decreased 

 receipts. The general volume of busi- 

 ness is fairly satisfactory. February, 

 thanks to an improved St. Valentine's 

 day demand, makes a respectable show- 

 ing when compared with February of 



1914, while the early days of March 

 compare quite favorably with those of 

 a year ago, despite the overproduction, 

 because then we had a blizzard, when 

 everybody's stock was reduced and de- 

 layed and business was knocked to 

 smithereens.
