The Market. 



We have had several weeks of dark, 

 rainy weather, followed by a few of 

 bright sunshine, making a very agree- 

 able change. Lent is here and, with its 

 coming, a slump is noticed in all lines 

 of the business except that of funeral 

 work, which keeps on in a very substan- 

 tial way. Stock of all kinds is daily 

 getting more plentiful and, from all 

 prospects, we will soon be getting our 

 full share. Narcissi of the white vari- 

 eties are practically over for the season, 

 although there are still quantities of yel- 

 low daffodils on hand. Frcesias are now 

 at their best and the retailers are using 

 large quantities of them. They cost on 

 an average of from $1 to $1.50 per 

 hundred stems. Eoman hyacinths are 

 out of season and quite a number of the 

 Dutch varieties in pots are displayed in 

 the florists' windows. Carnations are 

 plentiful, but I do not think they will 

 lower to any extent in price until after 

 Easter. 



Roses are in fair supply only, but as 

 the demand continues limited, there are 

 just enough to go around. Violets are 

 commencing to show the results of the 

 last few warm days and the poor keep- 

 ing qualities always shown late in the 

 season are now appearing. The prices 

 charged by the wholesale dealers average 

 about 75 cents per dozen bunches. 



Wild maidenhair is now long enough 

 of stem to be of some use to the dealers 

 and it is used quite extensively instead 

 of the tame varieties.
