ROSES 



The quality of our Roses is extra fine 

 just now — never handled better — all 

 lengths — and the cut is large. 



CARNATIONS

 A No. 1. Can supply white in quan- 

 tity for St. Patrick's Day.

quantities of other varieties are com- 

 ing on the market. 



Carnations have improved in demand, 

 so that prices are not quite so low as 

 they were last week, though they still 

 are far below what such high grade 

 stock usually brings. This week white 

 is held more firmly than the colored 

 varieties, because of the approach of St. 

 Patrick's day and the anticipated large 

 demand for stock for dyeing. With so 

 abundant a supply of first-class carna- 

 tions there has been extremely little 

 sale for the splits, which have been 

 numerous, and considerable quantities 

 of which have gone to waste, especially 

 of the colored varieties. It has been 

 noted that there is scarcely any de- 

 mand for the Lawson shade. 



Sweet peas are arriving in enormous 

 quantities. The market never before 

 has been so heavily supplied at this 

 date, nor has the quality been so fine. 

 The combination of high quality and 

 large supplies makes it possible to do 

 a big business in p5^, but the prices 

 are proving a keen disappointment to 

 the growers. Good peas never before 

 have brought so little money as they 

 are now returning. Pink sells best. 

 Violets have not done any better in 

 the last week than in the fortnight 

 preceding. The best sell fairly well at 

 low prices, and the poorest not at all, 

 with the result that the average re- 

 turns hardly can afford any cause for 

 cheerfulness at Rhinebeck, and the 

 local singles are doing scarcely any bet- 

 ter. Cattleyas have advanced a trifle in 

 price, the supply now being light; there 

 would be a scarcity if there were a 

 brisk demand. Valley continues abun- 

 dant. Easter lilies are so plentiful 

 that the flowers are selling at the price 

 of the bulb, which does not give much 

 margin for the man whose stock is 

 turning out only one or two flowers per 

 bulb. All bulbous stock is in large 

 supply, but not pressing the market 

 so badly as in the first few days of 

 Lent. Some good snapdragons now are 

 seen, with occasionally a nice lot of 

 mignonette, but miscellaneous flowers 

 are hardly as conspicuous as usual.
