I^aCI 



My commission expires 



reach fancy figures, but the purchaser 

 can fix his own price on much that is 

 arriving. Boses have suffered severely, 

 probably more so than any other flowers, 

 and prices on really good stock are ab- 

 surdly low. Carnations are also in over- 

 supply, and many are cleaned out at low 

 prices, some going below $1 per hundred. 

 There is no great change in violets, 

 which have now almost reached their full 

 winter size. 



Some good cosmos. Lady Lenox, is 

 coming in, and selling fairly well. Lily 

 of the valley moves as well as anything 

 on the list. Lilies are not overplentiful, 

 averaging $8 to $10 per hundred. Some 

 mignonette is coming in, but the quality 

 is not what it will be later in the season. 



A few Paper White narcissi have ap- 

 l)eared. There are quite a few antir- 

 rhinums, but demand for these is poor. 

 Orchid blooms of all kinds are quite 

 plentiful. For smilax, asparagus and 

 adiantum there is a moderate demand.
