to the extra lengths, ordinarily in less 

 request. These extra fancy roses have 

 all season been commanding less than 

 normal prices, but last week they got 

 up about to last year's level. White 

 roses are in greater demand than pink 

 or red, though all have been short of 

 the requirements. 



During the last week there has been 

 a material increase in the out-of-town 

 demand for carnations. When the buy- 

 ers came to realize the situation in 

 roses they turned to carnations, with 

 the result that they forced a sharp ad- 

 vance in prices in this department. 

 There continue to be large receipts of 

 low grade and split carnations, which 

 pulled down the average prices. Fancy 

 stock has been commanding a good fig- 

 ure. The supply of carnations is rela- 

 tively large. It is only the shortage of 

 roses which has advanced the price of 

 carnations. 



There has been a good market for 

 bulb stock, Paper Whites getting first 

 choice. White tulips have gone well 

 for funeral work. Colored tulips have 

 found little favor, except if they had 

 long stems. Daffodils and jonquils have 

 sold well; the supply now is large. 

 Callas and Easter lilies are not plenti- 

 ful. Cattleyas are less abundant and 

 the prices are stiffening. Growers of 

 these flowers say the crops are passing 

 and that there will be no oversupply 

 for the rest of the season. Violets 

 have sold in quantity during the pleas- 

 ant days, but not at fancy prices. Most 

 of the stores put a gardenia in the 

 center of each corsage of violets, and 

 that has made a fairly steady call for

these flowers. Sweet peas are less 

 abundant than they were. The heavy 

 crops of the winter flowering varieties 

 are passing. 



The green goods market has stiffened, 

 in keeping with the cut flower depart- 

 ment. Adiantum is in more request. 

 The price of ferns is getting a boost of 

 50 cents, and there are predictions of 

 fireworks in this department as spring 

 approaches. 



At Foehlmannville. 



January 23 work was begun on put- 

 ting up the roof for the thirteen new 



houses for which the Garland iron gut- 

 ters were set last fall. Each of these 

 houses is 250 feet long, and as soon as 

 completed thirteen others of equal 

 length will follow. There are three 

 houses of cattleyas, but only one is 

 producing, the other two to come into 

 crop next season. By that time it is 

 expected to have five houses of orchids, 

 as two collectors are now in Central 

 America. Concrete benches are being 

 built for 18,200 running feet for Beau- 

 ties and Killarneys and 8,000 feet for 

 mums and sweet peas. It is a sectional
