sistently with the demand and, in fact, 

 almost everything that had heen abun- 

 dant shortened up when the cool 

 weather got in its work. The demand 

 for Beauties was not unusual, but it 

 managed to take care of the supply, 

 while Killarneys had a brisk run, with 

 carnations. The latter had also been 

 in great supply, but the out-of-town 

 special sales gathered up a greater part 

 of the surplus and on Saturday they 

 were again bringing normal rates. The 

 cold weather seemed to affect the carna- 

 tion supply fully as much as the rose 

 crop. 



Among the novelties last week, the 

 first consignment of lilac was seen and, 

 although some was of fair quality, it 

 was generally poor and failed to reach 

 any high mark in prices for the first 

 supply, notwithstanding that the initial 

 shipment was three weeks later than 

 last year. Spanish iris, tulips and jon- 

 quils found a fair market at the close 

 of the week and in the majority of 

 cases a clean-up was made at prices 

 that looked fair by comparison with 

 what had been offered earlier. Snap- 

 dragon, most of which was pink, failed 

 to attract the buyers and it was not 

 moved to any great advantage to the 

 shippers. With violets, both double and 

 single, practically off the market, the 

 demand for sweet })eas improved and 

 was at its Ijest on Saturday and Sun- 

 day, when the supply was hardly equal 

 to the demand. The winter crop is about 

 off and the stock now coming in 

 has nowhere near the quality of the 

 Butterfly. These are not in great sup- 

 ply and consequently command good 

 prices. Orchids are not yet abundant 

 and command a fairly good return in 

 view of the spring wedding demand, 

 which is helping the sale of these as 

 well as valley. Valley is not scarce, 

 for since the passing of Lent the sup- 

 ply has been on the increase in antici- 

 pation of the weddings. Lilies are in 

 good supply. Callas are not abundant, 

 but enough to go around have reached 

 the market. Easter lilies are not in

heavy supply, but the call is light and 

 there is no scarcity. Pansies are sell- 

 ing fairly well in their limited way. 



Greens held up well through the glut 

 and Mexican ivy showed a tendency 

 to higher prices, while ferns have gen- 

 erally been advanced, as usually is the 

 case as May approaches. 



Tuesday, April 23, was not so good 

 a day as Monday. The return of warm, 

 bright weather threatened to again 

 overload the market.
