length is not easy at present, but the 

 growers say the new crop will alter 

 this unfavorable state of affairs and 

 that good Beauties soon will be abun- 

 dant again. Other roses are in good 

 supply and of first-class color. Kich- 

 mond is so fine that many are using it 

 instead of Beauties. ^ " i 



Carnations continue to come in heavily 

 but they are making rather better prices, 

 perhaps because the quality has im- 

 proved. There still are more splits 

 than usual, just why nobody can tell, 

 but the average quality of the stock 

 is excellent. Lilies are more abu?^dant; 

 evidently some of the crops are early. 

 Callas also are coming in freely. Tu- 

 lips are not so abundant as they were, 

 although there has been little change 

 in prices. Paper Whites are no longer 

 a burden and few Romans are seen. 

 There are moderate quantities of jon- 

 quils and daffodils, but no cumbersome 

 surplus. Freesia is about over. A few 

 stocks, a little mignonette and some 

 good antirrhinum are seen. Valley con- 

 tinues in abundant supply; there are 

 now so many forcers that any -short- 

 age is due to unforeseen demand. ^ 



The situation in ferns is beconmg^ 

 interesting. Just at a time when the 

 market ordinarily advances, some of the 

 wholesalers are offering ferns below 

 present cost at first hands and there 

 seems to be a disposition td start some- 

 thing that may not be profitably fin- 

 ished. "'•• '

There is a "For Rent" sign on the 

 floor occupied by Bassett & Washburn 

 and E. H. Hunt. The Hunt business, 

 it is understood, will be concentrated 

 on one of the upper floors of the build- 

 ing previously used. Bassett & Wash- 

 burn have sublet from Hunt. Mr. 

 Washburn says he does not expect to 

 move, anticipating that he and another 

 tenant in the building will continue to 

 share the second floor. 



Peter Reinberg is progressing nicely, 

 but still is in the hospital, as reported 

 in last week 's Review. 



Singler Bros, are sending Kennicott 

 Bros. Co. some exceptionally good white 

 carnations. 



O. W. Frese, of Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 says Easter orders already are coming 

 in nicely. 



O. Johnson, of the Batavia Green- 

 house Co., predicts that the present 

 shortage of Beauties will last only a 

 short time. 



C. W. McKellar notes that the prox- 

 imity of St. Patrick's day and Ea«fer 

 may change the usual situation on 

 white carnations.
