The Great Central Madcet. 



The feature of the market is the 

 marked increase in the supply of roses, 

 of which the receipts are so much heav- 

 ier than a week ago that there has been 

 a decided weakening in prices, the whole- 

 salers finding it diflScult to clean up. 

 A large crop of roses presents an even 

 more difScult problem than a heavy cut 

 of carnations, especially when the qual- 

 ity of the stock is of the superb order 

 now marking nearly every grower's pro- 

 duction. It may be all right to clean up 

 first quality carnations in thousand lots 

 at cheap prices, but one is slow to cut 

 the price of 8-eent roses to the point 

 where the cheap-sales merchants can 

 handle them. Beauties are among the 

 roses that show the increase in supply, 

 and quality is much better than it was 

 even a week ago. Prices have gone oflf 

 20 to 25 per cent. Both Bride and 



Maid are ahead of legitimate require- 

 ments, though the call for funeral work 

 makes a better market for short white 

 than for any other roses. It is easier 

 to clean out the lower grades just now 

 than it is the long stock. The prospect 

 is for a still further increase in the cuts 

 of roses, and any one who is able to 

 handle them in quantity should prepare 

 to do business. 



There is a general reduction in the car- 

 nation cuts, but there still are more 

 than the market needs for the legitimate 

 demand, and bargain sales in large lots 

 are still in order. Friday usually cleans 

 up everything that can be offered at a 

 price. 



Bulbous stock continues in oversupply, 

 although many wholesalers say the re- 

 ceipts at present are not as great as 

 they were a year ago. Prices are, how- 

 ever, considerably lower than then, and 

 the growers who depend on bulb stock 

 for their .profit are not pleased with the 



situation; nor are they buying bulbs as 

 heavily for another year. Callas are in 

 full crop and accumulating almost every- 

 where. Harrisii also are overabundant. 



It is a pleasure to record that there 

 is an improvement in the market for vio- 

 lets, although prices continue low. The 

 singles are approaching the end of their 

 season. The stock from Bhinebeck con- 

 tinues of good quality for the time of 

 year. 



Sweet peas have become more plenti- 

 ful than heretofore, but the best con- 

 tinue to sell well, with no special demand 

 for the low grades. The call for green 

 has abated; no need to make funeral de- 

 signs of galax and leucothoe when flowers 

 are so cheap. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Florists' Club held a real meeting 

 March 5. It was the first of the series 

 at the Union restaurant, 111 Randolph 

 street, for the change in arrangements
