NEW TOBK. 



The Market. 



The wholesale market for cut flowers 

 has been dull and almost featureless for 

 the last week. Those in the trade, both 

 wholesale and retail, are keenly con- 

 scious that Lent has come. About the 

 only flurry in the market was a slight 

 improvement in the demand for violets 

 and for red roses and carnations for 

 St. Valentine's day, but the volume of 

 business even in these was not sufficient 

 to give tone to an otherwise dull and 

 lifeless market. The weakness in Beau- 

 ties reported in last week's market let- 

 ter has rather increased than otherwise. 

 Specials range from 40 to 60 cents, with 

 few sales at the higher figure. Killarneys, 

 Maids, Brides and Bichmonds hold their 

 own better than Beauties, the range 

 of 6 to 8 cents for specials being fairly 

 well maintained. Carnations continue 

 to come to hand freely and sell at from 

 75 cents to $3 per hundred, according to 

 variety and quality. Few bring more 

 than $2 and the bulk of the sales are 

 at 75 cents to $1.50. Lilies are coming

to hand more freely and the short- 

 stemmed stock is pressing for sale at 

 almost any figure. Long, perfect lilies, 

 however, hold up fairly well and may 

 be quoted at about $8 to $10. Valley 

 is a drug in the market, at $2 to $3 per 

 hundred. Cattleyas, while not scarce, 



hold their own at $12 to $35 per hun 

 dred. Freesias are plentiful and corre- 

 spondingly flat, particularly shorts. 

 Sweet peas are also abundant, especially 

 shorts, for the local market is not over- 

 crowded with long-stemmed peas. Tu-
