The Market. 



It is cheering to be able to report 

 somewhat improved conditions in the 

 market. The supplies of one or two 

 staples have fallen off, but the milder 

 weather, with the street fakers all 

 busily employed, is the main cause of 

 improvement. There has been a good 

 demand for short-stemmed roses and 

 prices have improved on these, but the 

 better grades are almost unchanged. 

 The warmer weather has caused a con- 

 siderable increase in the supplies and, if 

 it continues, lower prices are probable. 

 Carnations are doing better, select 

 grades making up to $3 and $4 per 

 hundred. There was a heavy call for 

 coloring purposes for St. Patrick's day, 

 which boomed the price on these, quite 

 a few growers making $3 per hundred. 

 There is a veritable avalanche of vio- 

 lets daily, singles, of course, predomi- 

 nating. The color and size still are 

 good. Prospects are for a good crop of 

 doubles, but only a moderate pick of 

 singles for Easter. 



Lilies are selling at $10 to $12.50 per 

 hunired for Easter delivery. The de- 

 mand is rather light. Formosas are 

 much in evidence among the cut lilies. 

 Bulbous stock is cleaning up better. 

 Sweet peas are now of superb quality 

 and quite a, number of varieties are to 

 be seen. Pink, white and lavender are, 

 however, the selling colors. Marguer- 

 ites are increasing in numbers and im- 

 proving in quality. Yellow sells well; 

 white goes harder. Valley is in over- 

 supply. Cattleya Trianae is scarce, but 

 there are quite a few Schroederse com- 

 ing in, sufficient for the rather scant 

 demand at present. Wallflowers, bach- 

 elor's buttons and pink snapdragon 

 sell best among miscellaneous flowers. 

 There has been a fair call for green 

 goods, especially Asparagus Sprengeri. 



Pot plant trade is becoming, quite 

 brisk. Tausendschon roses are more 

 in evidence than ever, while acacias, 

 azaleas, ericas, lilacs, genistas, boronias 

 and many other varieties are seen. Lilies 

 are in strong demand and most of the 

 leading growers are already quite well 

 cleaned out. 



Club Meeting. 



William Sim was the lecturer at the 

 meeting of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club, March 19, when there was an at- 

 tendance of 175 members. He gave an 

 eminently practical talk on sweet peas 

 and their culture, which brought out
