are entertained of an old-time success. 

 Surely the trade in all its branches 

 deserves it. Saturday developed an 

 old-fashioned clean-up, and while val- 

 ues did not advance, a better demand 

 developed, and the first day of spring, 

 let us hope, marks the advent of better 

 times for all. 



Beauties and all roses hold their pres- 

 ent quotations encouragingly, the nov- 

 elties especially developing strength 

 and never being in oversupply. Had- 

 ley, of the reds, easily is the leader. 

 Carnations now are perfect and abun- 

 dant. Prices have not advanced. There 

 are plenty of orchids to go around and 

 still enough for belated buyers at lower 

 prices than they deserve. Mossia? com- 

 mands the higher values. 



No shortage appears in the gardenia 

 supply, nor in lilies or valley, the ruling 

 prices of several weeks past still pre- 

 vailing. There is no lack of supply in 

 callas, tulips, and bulbous stock of 

 every kind. Violets have been a drug; 

 Friday there was an accumulation of 

 half a million, and prices were unmen- 

 tionable. The street merchants had 

 their innings. The usual assortment of 

 so-called spring flowers is large and 

 the demand below normal. Improve- 

 ment in all departments is now antici- 

 pated. 



Plantsmen Bestrict Credits. 



The secretary of the New York and 

 New Jersey Association of Plant 

 Growers announces that the association 

 has adopted a new credit system, under 

 the terms of which the members can- 

 not extend credit for a period beyond 

 the fifteenth day of the second month 

 following the date of sale. • ' ' All ac- 

 counts must be paid by that date, and 

 all accounts remaining unpaid by that 

 date must be turned over to the asso- 

 ciation for collection, and the firm 

 owing such account will thereafter be 

 dealt with by members of the associd- 

 tion on a cash basis only." The new 

 Jystem will go into effect April 1, 1914. 



Various Notes. 



A cold wave, much belated, arrived 

 Saturday, March 21, for the spring 

 opening, doing much damage to plant 

 shipments. Then snow began falling 

 at 3 a. m. Sunday, and there were two 

 inches on t^e level by morning. "Winter 

 is dying hard this season. All busi- 

 ness was depressed because of the sud- 

 den drop in temperature.
