The Market. 



The advent of Lent, lessened demand 

 and erratic weather have caused a de- 

 cided slump in trade, and flowers have 

 accumulated more than at any time dur- 

 ing the present winter. Boses hold 

 firmer in price than other flowers, most 

 of the houses being off crop at present. 

 American Beauties, especially long- 

 stemmed ones, are scarce, but the call 

 for them has been rather light. Killar- 

 ney and White Killarney are each sell- 

 ing remarkably well, as also is Rieli- 

 mond. Some nice My Maryland is ar- 

 riving, but with some growers this is not 

 proving a satisfactory winter bloomer. 

 Bride and Bridesmaid are the hardest 

 varieties to move and few of these will 

 be seen another season. 



Carnations are in oversupply and 

 prices are on the down grade, although 

 flowers arc of fine quality. Violets are 

 abundant, 50 cents per hundred being 

 now the top price on singles. Sweet 

 peas are becoming plentiful. They have 

 a wide range of prices, from 25 cents 

 for short-stemmed flowers to $1.50 per 

 hundred for those with 18-inch stems. 

 A dozen different varieties are now com- 

 ing in. 



Bulbous stock is in heavy supply and 

 prices are lower. Some good, Emperor 

 and Empress are now coming in, with an 

 abundance of Golden Spur, Henry Ir- 

 ving, ornatus and princeps. Tulips are 

 arriving with better stems. La Reine 

 still selling the best, followed, by Yellow 

 Prince. A large quantity of the lilies 

 seen are of the Formosa type, the foliage 

 being excellent, although the average 

 buds per stem are rather less than the 

 other loDgiflorums. There is now an 

 abundant supply of these. Lily of the 

 valley is in ample supply and there are 

 plenty of miscellaneous flowers, such as 

 Dimorphotheca aurantiaca, calendulas, 

 English primroses, ixias, wallflowers, 

 myosotis, pansics, etc. 



In choicer flowers Cattleya Trianac is 

 in good supply at $6 per dozen. La?lia 

 anceps makes $3 and $4, the latter for 

 white varieties. Cypripediums bring $8 

 to $10 per hundred. Thcvo nro :;lso
