Hill, and adds a finish to the formal 

 character of the surroundings. The 

 stock of plants has not yet been deliv- 

 ered, but at present there is a fine dis- 

 play of Primula obconica, P. Sinensis 

 and cyclamens grown. at the city propa- 

 gating plant at Jefferson park by our 

 old friend, C. Hoffmeister, who for the 

 present has charge of the new build- 

 ings. T. W.

The Market. 



Since the arrival of Lent, business of 

 all kinds, with the exception of funeral 

 orders, has been a scarce article. The 

 funeral work is well divided and all 

 the retailers have had a fair supply. 

 Stock is cheaper than it has been previ- 

 ously this year. Narcissi and daffodils 

 are now at their best and they are of 

 splendid quality. Carnations are fifty 

 per cent cheaper than they were four 

 weeks ago and the indications are that 

 they will be still lower in price before 

 they advance any. Boses, with the ex- 

 ception of fancy stock — and there does 

 not seem to be an abundance of that — 

 are held at the same prices as they have 

 been for the last two weeks. Violets 

 ar6 good; the bunches are big and the 

 prices are anything the growers can get. 

 Quantities of acacia and fruit blossoms 

 are brought into town daily, and flowers 

 of this sort sell well. Sweet peas move 

 nicely. "Valley and orchids hold their 

 own. Lilium longiflorum are good and 

 so far have been bought up rapidly. We 

 can expect an abundance of spring flow- 

 ers in a short time, and meanwhile the 

 retailers would be just as well satisfied 

 if there was not so much stock in the 

 market.
