lilies in pots that will'De in time prom- 

 ises to be large. To^ay the cut flower 

 situation is briefly gfvCn. 



There will be an abundant supply of 

 every variety of staple flower usually 

 seen in this market at Easter. Lilies 

 promise well; the ruling price, the whole- 

 salers think, will be 12^! cents for each 

 bud a finger length in bloom, with se- 

 lect long-stem lots in small quantities 

 at 15 cents and ordinary stock at $10 

 per hundred, short stems at $8 per 

 hundred. 



Beauties will be more abundant than 

 they have been since Christmas. Indi- 

 cations point to a good supply in all 

 grades. It is thought that really fancy 

 sweet peas will not be overaoundant 

 and that there will be plenty, of the 

 ordinary grade. Violets have been so 

 unsatisfactory that the wholesalers fear 

 the doubles only will be handled in 

 quantity; not many singles. Valley will 

 be abundant. Roses and carnations of 



all kinds will, it is believed, be in 

 heavy supply; so, too, snapdragon. 



Lilac. 



"There are three grades of lilac on 

 the market; they sell at 50 cents, $1 

 and $1.25 per bunch. The two last 

 named grades are those used on ship- 

 ping orders, the first being hardly good 

 enough. Most of this lilac is white, a 

 small quantity purple. The purple lilac 

 is more expensive than the white, be- 

 cause it must be kept in the forcing 

 houses longer tf color it. Purple lilac" 

 always outlasts white. With favorable 

 weather the supply of lilac will con- 

 tinue for several weeks after Easter, 

 probably until the outdoor flowers ar- 

 rive." 



This brief tklk is by John .W. Mcln- 

 tyre, who, as the representative of 

 Raimbault & Bruzeaud, of Buena, N. J., 

 is a recognized authority on lilac in 

 this city.
