to 75 cents. The quantity sold was 

 enormous. Local violets, weakened by 

 absence of the singles, were unequal to 

 the emergency, New York supplying 

 much of the stock used; $10, occasion- 

 ally $12.50 to $15, was the price per 

 thousand. Good grade valley realized 

 $35 to $40 per thousand. There were 

 about enough cattleyas; $6 to $7.50 per 

 dozen was the usual price. Mossias had 

 the preference. 



Carnations were in active demand 

 and fancy Ward brought $6, a very 

 few $8 per hundred; select stock $40 

 per thousand, while carnations that 

 reached the market in poor condition 

 were well sold at less than half that 

 price. White were more eagerly sought 

 than colors up to Saturday morning, 

 though white, of course, is less grown. 

 Roses were in heavy supply. The ma- 

 jority of the stock was of short and 

 poorer grades. The fancies were about' 

 equal to the demand. Killarney sold 

 at from $15 to $20 for a few, while 

 Bride and Maryland brought $10 to $12. 

 Far more of these varieties brought $6 

 to $8, the shorts going fairly well at 

 about $40 per thousand when in good 

 condition. 



Southern daffodils were the feature 

 of the bulb market. They arrived in 

 increased numbers and were welcomed 

 by the buyers who wanted much for 

 their money. The prices ranged from 

 $5 to $7.50 per thousand, occasionally 

 $10. The small varieties brought less 

 than the lowest quotation. Greenhouse

stock was favored by the quality buy- 

 ers, Emperor leading at $3 per hundred. 

 Tulips were generally poor, but even 

 }?ood ones found tardy recognition. 

 I'ansies were in brisk demand at about 

 50 cents per hundred. Callas went best 

 for Holy Thursday. Prices ranged 

 from $1.50 to $2 per dozen, a few sales 

 for select stock reaching higher. Dai- 

 sies were not much sought. Greens were 

 brisk indeed; asparagus sprays in 

 bunches particularly so, also smilax to 

 a lesser degree at from $15 to $20 per 

 hundred strings. 



Easter Week. 



The market is declining since Easter. 

 The quantity of roses coming into town 

 is large. To move them lower prices 



were needed. Valley has not had time 

 to recover from the Easter scarcity, 

 under the influence of heavy after-Eas- 

 ter buying. Sweet peas are also in 

 brisk request. The advance guard of 

 belated Easter lilies is coming in, only 

 scouts as yet; the market has not felt 

 the effect of the army to follow. 



Various Notes. 



Maurice Fuld spoke before the Ger- 

 mantown Horticultural Society in As- 

 sociation hall, on "Herbaceus Peren- 

 nials," on the evening of April 8. 



The plans for bridging the main 

 building of M. Rice & Co. with the new 

 annex are now ready. The extra floor 

 space is much needed.
