The Eastern Market. 



There is a greater variety of flowers 

 to supply the market. Double daffodils, 

 Narcissus Von Sion, have come and are 

 offered side by side with Golden Spur. 

 Freesia is more abundant and showy 

 tulips, like Keizerskroon and Couronne 

 d'Or, have arrived. This ^dded assort- 

 ment, with rather more of the staple 

 flowers, has given an easier tone. Buy- 

 ers no longer are worried lest they can- 

 not fill orders of ordinary size; they 

 take things easily, and prices have 

 fallen a little. This is most noticeable 

 on carnations and on short roses. East- 

 er lilies are among the few scarce 

 flowers; Beauties belong in the same 

 class, while Richmond is by no means 

 abundant. 



The orchid situation has changed but 

 little; there are plenty to be had, with 

 prices easy. Gardenias are going a lit- 

 tle better. Violets are dull. There is 

 a fair amount of activity in sweet 

 peas, with quite heavy receipts after a 

 sunny day. The orchid-flowering va- 

 rieties of sweet peas continue a feature 

 of the market. Snapdragon shows im- 

 provement; there are some splendid 

 flowers of several colors, borne on long 

 stems that are extremely decorative. 

 Shipping trade is fairly brisk.
