The Eastern Market. 



The pre-Leuten season has closed 

 with a lull in the demand, rather than 

 the accustomed rush. The out-of-town 

 orders have held up fairly well, but 

 the city business has been affected by 

 the heavy snow storms and the cold 

 weather that has accompanied them, 

 interfering with transient trade. Car- 

 nations have been the most unsatis- 

 factory flower on the list. More car- 

 nation orders have gone out partly 

 filled, or have been turned down en- 

 tirely, than at any time this season. 

 This is due to lighter cuts with nearly 

 all the growers. Roses, on the con- 

 trary, have increased in numbers and, 

 as is usual when the crops come in 

 heavily, the quality is good. Killarney, 

 White Killarney and Maryland are 

 plentiful in all the grades. Richmond 

 can be had in moderate numbers and 

 even Beauties are a shade more numer- 

 ous, though only a trifle. Valley is not 

 selling well. Violets continue to suffer 

 from the glut. Sweet peas have fallen 

 off a little in supply on the dark days, 

 though on sunny days the cuts are ex- 

 cellent and the quality high. Garde- 

 nias are hardly so plentiful. Cattleyas 

 average a little higher in price. The 

 mixed orchids are nearly over. There

are lots of good daffodils and a mod- 

 erate supply of fine tulips. Poor tulips, 

 poor sweet peas and poor almost any- 

 thing, excepting carnations, are almost 

 unsalable. Greens continue scarce. 

 Sprengeri takes the place of plumosus 

 in many orders. A few gladioli came 

 in from the south last week. 



A Strange Coincidence. 



It is a curious fact that the two 

 largest greenhouses on the eastern sea- 

 board were seriously damaged on the 

 morning of the same day. February 14, 

 by the snow, although they were many 

 hundreds of miles apart. Each house
