The Eastern Market. 



The violet is not favored as of yore. 

 This is the important fact that stands 

 out boldly in reviewing the business at 

 St. Valentine's. Great preparations 

 were made. Violets came to ' ' The East- 

 ern Market " ' from the local growers of 

 fancy singles, from the home of Lady 

 Hume Campbell at Hightstown, X. J., 

 and from the Hudson river, as well as 

 from many other places. They came by 

 the hundreds, by the thousands, by the 

 tens of thousands; so many that the 

 price asked for them was moderate, 

 from $7.30 per thousand down to $5. 

 80 many were left at the close of the 

 day that they will not average the grow- 

 ers anj'thing like these prices. Possibly 

 the storm and the cold February 13 and 

 14 had something to do with this. Un- 

 doubtedly the lateness of some of the 

 shipments affected the result, but there 

 is no question that the demand wa? not 

 there. People were not hunting violets ; 

 they were hunting other flowers; that 

 is the truth in a sentence. Sweet peas, 

 now so fine, V»oth in the winter-blooming 

 and the Spencer type, have partly dis- 

 placed violets. Orchids had something 

 to do with this change of public senti- 

 ment, too. Gardenias have suffered with 

 their bosom friend, the violet. 



Roses and carnations have been quite 

 scarce, especially roses in the shorter 

 grades. Daffodils are plentiful and of 

 good quality. The former, but not the 

 latter, applies to tulips. Through a mis- 

 understanding forget-me-nots were not 

 satisfactory at St. Valentine's, the

The Wreck at North Wales. 



A terrible thing has happened. The 

 largest greenhouse in the world was 

 wrecked by the storm about 6 o'clock 



on the morning of February 14. The 

 weight of snow and ice, and the fierce 

 wind, proved too much for the south 

 side of the great structure. Jt gave way 

 for nearly half its length. The house
