percentage of the stock should be 

 moved through the regular trade chan- 

 nels and the average price should im- 

 prove. Continued cool weather has 

 been in favor of the trade; warm sun, 

 when it comes, will probably bring a 

 condition of demoralization that will 

 last for several days. 



The only flower that has been scarce 

 since last report has been the Amer- 

 ican Beauty. There are not many long 

 Beauties and most of them are so weak- 

 stemmed that the retailers will not use 

 them. The supply of short Beauties is 

 larger, but the quality of the flowers 

 is not all that could be desired. The 

 supply of Sunburst and Ward is not 

 unwieldy, for these are popular varie- 

 ties and not grown in anything like 

 the quantity that Killarney is. The 

 call for Richmond, Milady and Reid has 



subsided to a marked degree since St. 

 Valentine's day and as a result the 

 price of red roses is as low as for more 

 plentiful varieties. Killarney not only 

 is' in good crop with most growers but 

 the quality is excellent. Buyers who 

 have wanted only small lots of selected 

 stock have been getting good value, 

 while those who could use quantities 

 not too closely selected have secured 

 some fine bargains. 



The growers of Enchantress have no 

 reason to congratulate themselves on 

 recent business. White carnations, 

 even if split, have sold moderately 

 well, but Enchantress has not been 

 wanted; soft, sleepy, or split En- 

 chantress has been practically un- 

 salable. Pink Delight and Ward are 

 the best sellers, if well grown. A big 

 demand for white is assured for next 



week, St. Patrick's day. It had begun 

 to affect the market as early as March 

 9, white carnations being less plentiful 

 and white roses better property, in con- 

 sequence. 



Double violets have been extremely 

 poor property, selling at such low rates 

 that it is a wonder the growers keep 

 on shipping. Singles, if good, do a little 

 better. Sweet peas have hit the violets 

 hard. Now that they are plentiful and 

 moderate in price the Spencer peas are 

 selling at least as well as anything else 

 the market affords. 



Bulbous stock of all kinds has been 

 plentiful, but not offered in such large 

 quantities as a few years ago. There 

 is a lot of difference in the quality; 

 some of the tulips, daffodils and jon- 

 quils are fine, but there is much stock 

 that is poor and growers report many
