Gentlemen:- 



A few weeks ago I started a small card In the 

 Retailers' Telegraph Delivery department of The Review. 



I have paid you only $3.50 so far. And this is . 

 what happened: 



I received orders for Wyoming delivery at Christ- 

 mas amounting to $142.50. 



I think that is doing fairly well. . 

 Respectfully youxe.

The Market. 



With the exception of March 6, when 

 there was a fairly good clean-up, busi- 

 ness was quiet last week and prices 

 ruled quite low. The present week will 

 see more social activity and it has 

 opened somewhat more auspiciously 

 than its predecessor, but there is no 

 real snap to business. Roses have been 

 cleaned out with greater difficulty and 

 only at a sacrifice in values. Plenty 

 of short-stemmed flowers are procurable 

 at $10 per thousand. The principal 

 call continues to be for the newer va- 

 rieties, such as Ophelia, Eussell, Had- 

 ley. Sunburst and Prince d'Arenberg. 

 Both Killarney and "White Killarney 

 are in oversupply. A good number of 

 the pretty little Mile. Cecile Brunner 

 come in and this proves quite popular. 



Carnations have not shown so much 

 decline as roses, but clean up with dif- 

 ficulty. The general range is $1.50 to 

 $3 per hundred; a few reach $4. Vio- 

 lets have been almost unsalable and 

 have been disposed of at ruinous prices; 

 many have sold at $1.50 to $2 per 

 thousand. There is now an immense 

 crop of singles, too many for the mar- 

 ket's needs. Bulbous flowers have held 

 up remarkably and growers of these 

 have had as good a season as usual so 

 far. Spencer sweet peas move well, 

 white being the poorest seller. Grandi- 

 floras can scarcely be sold at any price. 

 There is an abundaht supply of callas, 

 lilies, snapdragons and valley. Much 

 of the last named is of poor quality. 



Cattleyas have shortened up, but
