 tion.

Gentlemen:- 



A few weeks ago I started a snail 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 $143.50. 



I think that is doing fairly well. . 

 Respectfully yours,

The Market. 



The wholesale market was in splen- 

 did condition last week. The supply of 

 everything seasonable was plentiful. 

 Wholesale trade "was somewhat slow 

 during the early part of the week, but 

 later the demand became heavy. Prices 

 remained reasonable all throogh the 

 rush for stock. There was an abun- 

 dance of good roses, including fancy 

 Beauties. Killarneys formed the bulk 

 of the consignments. Carnations were 

 not overplentiful. They were cleaned 

 up nicely at an average price of $4 

 per hundred. The Enchantress and 

 Beacon varieties had the call. There 

 were plenty of good lilies, which, of 

 course, led in demand, selling at $12.50 

 per hundred.' Sweet peas arrived in 

 great quantities; the fancy butterfly 

 varieties were in big demand. The 

 trade did not take to the common va- 

 rieties of sweet peas and of these a 

 good number were left over. Tulips, 

 valley, Dutch hyacinths, daffodils and 

 snapdragons met with a large demand. 

 Violets were not in large supply, but 

 those that came in v^ere sold quickly. 

 A raft of southern jonquils came in, 

 but these had little or no call. The 

 local markets surely took good car6>"of 

 the trade this year in the cut flower 

 line, as Easter consignments were larger 

 and better in quality thaii in any pre- 

 vious year. 



The plant business at Easter was tre- 

 mendous. Cut flowers, too, had a much 

 better demand this year than hereto-
