PHILADEU>HIA. 



The Eastern Market. 



Heavy receipts of daffodils and sweet 

 peas caused a fall in prices last week. 

 The market was unable to consume at 

 fair prices all the dafifs and peas that 

 were offered. Daffs fell sharply, while 

 the shorter grades of peas suffered most. 

 The quantity of both these flowers 

 that was sold was surprisingly large. 

 Daffodils always are popular. The 

 heavy cut so early in the season is due 

 to the use of French bulbs, which force 

 earlier than the Dutch. The orchid or 

 Spencer type of sweet peas have so far 

 been preferred to the winter-flowering 

 sorts, although all varieties are in 

 favor. 



The wintery western weather has cut 

 down production, putting activity into 

 the market that was missing a week 

 ago. There is an excellent amount of 

 business, with prices fairly easy. Beau- 

 ties have become more plentiful. White 

 roses have been scarcer than any of the 

 other smaller-flowered sorts. Carna- 

 tions have developed more splits than 

 at any time this season. The crops are 

 not hieavy and prices on good stock are 

 a little firmer. Valley has been dull 

 and rather hard to sell. Paper Whites 

 and free^ias aYe in good demand, but 

 tulips are not. Violets are depressed. 

 Orchids are less in evidence than a 

 ■vteek ago, but Cattloya Schroederiana 

 '.3 coming in more freely, Cattleya Tri- 

 anfe less so. The pink spray orchid, 

 Oncidium Schillerjanum, makes an ex- 

 cellent foil for Oncidium splendidum. 

 .Dendrobium formosum can be had in

The Club's Carnation Meeting. 



After the speaker of the evening had 



flnishqd, a bright looking man accepted 

 the chairman's invitation to speak. He 

 was young, with ruddy complexion that 

 bespoke health. His address was brief 

 and to the point; his words came roll- 

 ing out with the vehemence of a tor- 

 rent. It was the well known carnation 

 specialist, Edward A. Stroud, of Straf-
