The lilaxket. 



The demand for stock shows little 

 falling off from that immediately pre- 

 ceding Lent. The beginning and close 

 of each week are generally good, while 

 at the middle of the week demand is 

 somewhat slow. Shipping business is 

 good. The supply of roses is larger 

 than for weeks and they meet with a 

 fair market. American Beauty receipts, 

 too, are somewhat heavier than they 

 have been. Carnations, although heavier 

 supplies are received, continue to clean 

 up daily. Easter lilies are becoming 

 plentiful. The pick of sweet peas is 

 large and of high quality. The supply 

 of bulbous stock is fully up to the de- 

 mand. Other offerings include violets, 

 double and single; valley, orchids, 

 callas, lubrum lilies, forget-me-nots and 

 primulas.
