who personally visits the market does 

 not get beyond the first place entered; 

 all his wants are supplied at once. The 

 average quality of cut flowers is ex- 

 cellent. Long Beauties are not yet in 

 crop, but the special grades of other 

 roses are so plentiful that there really 

 is no special demand for Beauties. Also 

 the buyers are out of the habit of 

 ordering Beauties; they have been 

 scarce so long that retailers are afraid 

 to take onlers for them. Carnations 

 are good and sweet peas are coming 

 in of superlative quality. Not much 

 can be said for violets, as their sea- 

 son is passing. 



Orchids continue abundant and the 

 growers of these and of valley are 

 looking for the passing of Lent for 

 a revival in the wedding demand. 



All Ivimis of greens are plentiful. 



Easter Prospects. 



With cut dowers as abundant as in 

 the last fortnight there is much spec- 

 ulation as to the prospexjt for Easter. 

 The growers, who are prone to look on 

 the dark side, predict that crops will 

 be run off and that there will be a 

 scarcity for the great flower holiday. 

 It seems inevitable that with crops so 

 heavy as they have been in the last 

 fortnight, they must be lighter for 

 Kaster. It seems, however, that there 

 is little prospect of any scarcity — such 

 scarcity as there may be will be of 

 strictly high grade flowers — there will 

 be plenty of the lower grades. Easter 

 lilies with many growers have come 

 in too soon and there will be many 

 held for Easter which would have 

 been marketed earlier had there been

any chance to do so. With many grow- 

 ers giganteums are short in stem, but 

 the stock now on the market seems to 

 indicate a fair proportipn will be long- 

 stemmed. The violet situation is in 

 doubt. There should be plenty, but 

 what the quality will be no one can 

 tell, as hot weather for the last two 

 or three days will make a great differ 

 ence. 



Locally this year there will be more 

 bulb stock in pans, and that sort of 

 thing, than there ever has been before. 

 Many who grow bedding plants are 

 preparing to supply local retailers with 

 the more easily grown varieties of pot 

 stock.
