little outside stock that we have to de- 

 pend almost entirely on hothouse flowers. 

 Usually at this season of the year we 

 have quantities of narcissi, daffodils, wild 

 flowers and fruit blossoms, but the con- 

 tinued frosty spell has kept everything 

 backward. Even violets, which under or- 

 dinary conditions fill in a big gap at this 

 time, have been at a premium and the 

 Italian growers have made the bunches so 

 small that retailers have had hard work 

 to handle them at any profit. 



Carnations are slightly advanced in 

 price from last week and roses have held 

 their own. Of the former, $4 to $5 per 

 hundred is the ruling rate to the stores, 

 with a limited stock to pick from. Val- 

 ley, Koman hyacinths and freesias have 

 been in extra demand, owing to the 

 scarceness of stoc?, and several of the 

 yellow cupped species of narcissi, which 

 under ordinary conditions cannot be dis- 

 posed of at any price, have suddenly be- 

 come quite marketable. Early daffodils 

 show a slight drop, but are still costing 

 the retailers from $2.50 to $3 per hun- 

 dred. Wild maidenhair, although not yet 

 of first quality, is being used in large 

 quantities in the place of the tame va- 

 riety, which plainly shows the effects of 

 ijeing overworked during the holiday 

 season. 



Business continues to be fair.
