The Market 



Warm spring weather still prevails, 

 •with the temperature going as high as 

 80 degrees now and then. The effect on 

 greenhouse stock is well known and can- 

 not be passed over lightly. Stock of all 

 kinds is being forced into bloom prema^ 

 turely and the end is not in sight. Flow- 

 ers that should have been cut for Easter 

 are blooming now and many of the 

 growers are becoming alarmed. Bulbous 

 stock, especially, is coming in great 

 quantities and it is hard to move it at 

 any price. 



Perhaps the less said of business the 

 better. The quantity of stock that is 

 arriving is enormous. The wholesale 

 houses are stacked full and there is 

 scarcely room to move about. Prices are 

 of the mid-summer variety. Carnations 

 are being cut by the thousands and roses 

 as well. Beauties, which have done so 

 well, are now in oversupply. The price 

 has been cut in two. Single violets are 

 scarce but double ones are still with us 

 in large lots. Outdoor jonquils are ar- 

 riving by the thousands and sell at any 

 old price. Sweet peas go fairly well. 



The green goods market is also af- 

 fected, Smilax does best. 



Various Notes. 



The growers in the Flower Market are 

 reaping a harvest now. The beautiful 

 Saturday afternoons bring out thousands 

 of buyers and they have the goods and 

 sell cheap enough to tempt all comers. 

 Potted plants of the standard varieties 

 are selling especially well. 



Hardesty & Co. made up a bouquet of 

 fresh vegetables last week which was 

 not only unique but very appetizing. 



Julius Baer has been keeping up the 

 high standard oi the window decorations 

 at his new store and they are causing 

 much comment. He reports bis business 

 as very good. 



W. K, Partridge is displaying in his 

 store windows vases of Brides, Maids, 

 Gates, Ivory and Chatenay, all grown at 

 his greenhouses, which are very fine.
