brought 8 cents. The general li%t ift)W 

 goes back to last week 's quotations and 

 anything in carnations not first-class is 

 cleaned up as low as $10 per thousand. 

 The cut flower market is flooded with 

 southern lilac and the local supply is 

 arriving in wagonloads. There seems 

 to be but little demand for it. The 

 sweet pea stock is of low grade gener- 

 ally and the demand is insignificant. 

 Some grand stock of snapdragons is 

 seen in many of the wholesale windows, 

 and gladioli quite the equal of any- 

 thing that will be seen this season. For 

 Easter lilies, 6 cents has been the top; 

 4 cents would be a fairer quotation, 

 writh callas also down. There are no 

 more violets to be had. Valley seldom 

 sells above 2 cents. Stocks are of 

 splendid quality. Spanish iris is arriv- 

 ing in quantity. The supply of tulips is 

 decreasing. There is plenty of daisies, 

 mignonette and pansies. A ^ood de- 

 mand is seen for gardenias and ojrchids 

 hold at 50 cents for cattleyas, many 

 having been used in funeral designs for 

 the victims of the Titanic disaster.

 Felicia and Diplacus Glauca, receiving
