Good select American Beauty roses 

 still hold their own. Most of this stock 

 is stort-stemmed and small-headed. Of 

 other roses Killarney dominates every- 

 thing. There are a few of the new va- 

 rieties quite popular, but not enough of 

 them arrive to justify quotations. 

 The best carnations were down again to 

 2 cents Monday. The shipments just 



now are excessive, and there were many 

 thousands unsold Saturday. 



Violets go to the street men in great 

 lots at $1 per thousand and for even 

 less. The best the big stores will pay 

 is 30 cents per hundred. There will be 

 no advance until Easter week. Orchids 

 are abundant, but the demand is not en- 

 couraging and buyers are critical in 

 their selections. Many of the whole- 

 salers now feature the orchid in their 

 windows. The majority expect a good 



demand for Easter. If anything is 

 scarce it is valley and prices are better. 

 Lilies, too, are firm at 6 cents to 8 

 cents and will gradually improve. There 

 will be no surplus of good flowers for 

 Easter and 12 cents to 15 cents is the 

 present booking suggestion of the 

 plantsmen. There are plenty of callas 

 and the quality is tiptop now.
