With the advent of genuine winter 

 weather January 16 the market gives 

 encouraging signs of hardening, and val- 

 ues are more generally satisfactory. 

 There is not an overabundance of stock 

 and business is said to be improving. 

 Prices of all but a few kinds of cut 

 flowers compare favorably with the quo- 

 tations of a year ago at this date. 

 Roses are in good demand, owing to the 

 many social functions, balls, weddings 

 and operas being in full swing, some of 

 the events of national importance. A 

 slight advance from last week's average 

 was recorded Monday. Killarney, of the 

 newer varieties, still holds the center of 

 the stage. Beauties are in constant de- 

 mand and there must be a great number 

 arriving to hold the price so reasonable 

 for this season. Some of the big wed- 

 dings of the last two weeks have used 

 them in thousand lots. This cold snap, 

 which we should like to see run on until 

 the middle of March without cessation, 

 should give immediate tone to the mar- 

 ket. We haven't had a full day of 

 winter temperature this season until now. 



Carnations dropped last week with 

 quite a thud. Shoals of fine stock at 

 times were cleaned up at $10 a thousand. 

 Cruel knifing by the surgeons, but it was 

 the only way to keep the patient (grow- 

 er) alive. Soon he will sit up and take 

 notice again. The best of the carnation 

 novelties can be counted on to average 

 4 cents always in the winter unless an 

 earthquake hits the market. 



Plenty of orchids now available, and 

 at lower prices, even with the remarkable 

 demand from other cities. Grand plants 

 in pots, beautifully decorated with rib- 

 bons, grace many of the retail windows. 

 These sell rapidly. Gardenias, too, are 

 abundant and prices near the ordinary 

 pocketbook. 



Sweet peas are plentiful and improving 

 in quality. Lilies, valley, narcissi and 

 hyacinths sell at starvation prices com- 

 pared with other years. 



Violets went back again to 50 cents 

 top during last week and the street 

 men were offering them at 25 cents a 

 bunch on every corner.
