ing. Tulipa are mostly short-stemmed 

 and of poor quality. 



The shipments of sweet peas are in- 

 creasing daily. Violets are down and 

 out again, wjth larger shipments and 

 no street outlet. The top quotation 

 Saturday, for the best of them, was 30 

 cents. The department stores were dis- 

 posing of the accumulations at 10 cents 

 a bunch and some stores were giving 

 them away. 



The orchid merchants, from grower 

 to wholesaler, were justifiably discour- 

 aged last week at the low prices that 

 prevailed. I saw one accumulation of 

 cattleyas go begging at $10 per hun- 

 dred, and they were quite good enough 

 for a funeral. The fresh ones, selected, 

 brought no more than 35 cents. There 

 is no end this year, evidently, to the 

 oncidiums. They are popular for dinner 

 and window decorations. Cypripediums 

 are down, and so are gardenias. 



Weddings and banquets are many and 

 a few of the leading retailers have been 

 busy, but with the majority trade has 

 been extremely dull and there is much 

 complaining. In another week Lent be- 

 gins. The intervening days will be one 

 round of gdyety in society circles. Some 

 of the retailers have as high as half a 

 dozen notable dinner decorations in an 

 evening.
