The Market. 



Roses are plentiful; some of the 

 flower shops are retailing them as low 

 as $1 per dozen. Carnations are good, 

 and the supply is greater than the 

 demand, with prices low. Daffodils are 

 plentiful, and tulips are fine and in 

 good supply. Dutch hyacinths are in 



fine shape, mostly in pots, in all colors. 

 Violets are a glut and prices are down 

 to where they can not be grown profit- 

 ably in this state. They are now of- 

 fered by the curbstone fakers at 10 

 cents a bunch, but are all single va- 

 rieties.
