 sweet peas.

TWIN QTIES. 



The Market 



Business the past week has been good 

 with all of the dealers and no trouble 

 has been experienced in getting stock. 

 The most of the dealers are carrying 

 heavy stocks and the dealers who do not 

 have greenhouses are the more fortunate 

 ones during the present time. Any- 

 thing in the way of roses and carna- 

 tions, also bulb stock, can be purchased 

 at a very small figure. While the mar- 

 ket is glutted, there lias been no cut 

 in prices to make mention of, outside 

 of the Greeks and department stores. 

 Some very fine carnations have been of- 



fered by them for 35 cents per dozen. 

 Roses are retailing for $1.50 arid $2 per 

 dozen. 



The cold, disagreeable weather of the 

 last few days has hurt business some, 

 and until the weather settles we do not 

 expect a big business. Easter plants 

 have begun to appear in some of the 

 stores, but they are those that have come 

 in a little ahead of the season. The 

 dealers who have no greenhouses have 

 commenced making the rounds and are 

 ordering their Easter supply of plants. 



StPatiL 



Christ Hansen is making preparations 

 to repair four of his houses, which will 

 improve his plant considerably. 



Haugen & Swanson will have some 

 very nice violet plants for Easter. The 

 violets they have been cutting this sea- 

 son have been the finest in this section 

 and have sold readily. 



Aug. S. Swanson has some very fine 

 bulb stock, but has hardly had enough 

 with which to supply the demand of his 

 two stores. 



Holm & Olson are intending to build 

 as soon as the weather will permit. 



L. L. May & Co. 's lilies never looked 

 better. 



Minneapolis. 



Donaldson's department store reports 

 a good trade and contemplates disposing 

 of considerable stock for Easter. Their 



houses look good and have every ap- 

 pearances of having almost everything 

 in bloom for Easter. Although they 

 have a large range of houses, they have 

 not as yet been able to grow enough for 

 their large trade, and are compelled to 

 buy practically all of their carnations. 



The Minneapolis Floral Co. is loaded 

 to the brim with Easter stock. It all 

 looks good and will undoubtedly be in 

 bloom. They have about 1,500 very fine 

 baby ramblers, which will sell on sight. 



Patthey & Thompson are doing very 

 well, and like all dealers, are lookiing 

 forward toward supplying themselves 

 for Easter. Felix. 



WASHINGTON. 



The Market 



There is little change in the condition 

 of business over that of a week ago. 

 The unusual wintry weather with snow- 

 falls has made disagreeable conditions 

 for shoppers. There is an abundance of 

 cut stock for all purposes, though no 

 glut of anything. The thoughts of the 

 retailers now go forward to Easter; the 

 probable supply of stock; the weather; 

 will the young man send his sweetheart 

 a bunch of violets or a box of candy? 

 In the aggregate these are matters of 

 importance to the trade.
