The Market. 



Trade has been heavy the last two 

 weeks, with stock more plentiful, but 

 there has been no surplus of anything. 

 Eoses are in good supply, but the demand 

 cleans them up right along. Brides and 

 Maids are the only ones that are in 

 heavy crop at this time. Carnations have 

 been quite plentiful, but they are cleaned 

 up daily. Enchantress is more in evi- 

 dence than any other variety and proves 

 a good «eller at all times. 



Sweet peas are coming in fine and 

 find a ready sale ; the stems are unusually 

 long. Outdoor valley made its appear- 

 ance for a short time, but it is about 

 done now. 



Beauties are moving better and the 

 prices are down. Smilax has been 

 scarce, but a good supply of asparagus 

 helped out nicely. 



Various Notes. 



Mothers' day was a great surprise to 

 the trade here. They all stocked up 

 heavily for the event, but the demand 

 swept everything before it. White car- 

 nations sold out early, and after they 

 were gone the colored ones disappeared, 

 with all other stock following closely. It 

 reminded everyone of an Easter rush, but 

 it is the opinion of the trade, and also 

 of many customers, that it would be bet- 

 ter to wear the mother's favorite flower, 

 it being thought that this would spread 

 the demand over all varieties. 



William Graff sold out clean Sunday 

 morning and had to close the doors with 

 a sign: "All sold out, more tomorrow." 



Sherman Stephens said he could only 

 get a handful of white carnations to go 

 around. 



The Riverside Floral Co. reports heavy 

 business for Mothers ' day. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. cleaned 

 up everything in cut flowers. This firm 

 is cutting heavily on sweet peas at pres- 

 ent. 



The Livingston Seed Co. reports a reg- 

 ular Easter rush for Mothers' day.

' Ballston Spa, N. Y.— A. B. Eeynolds 

 has been using in his local advertising a 

 unique and artistic postal card, designed 

 by himself. The picture on the card is 

 entitled "A Fight with Jack Frost," 

 and represents a greenhouse almost 

 ^b^^^n snow and ice, while in j^ne CQi-

 of potted plant^j^ symbolizing the fact,
