sufficient to meet the demands for cut 

 lilieB<^ Buyers who were unwilling to 

 pay &ver 10 cents Mirly ^n the week 

 gladly offered 12 ana 15 cents on the 

 last two days. They exhausted all of 

 the good stock. The quantity of snap- 

 dragon offered was a surprise and it was 

 generally taken at from 75 cents to 

 $1.50 a dozen. Pansies did well at 

 about $1 a hundred. Daisies dragged 

 at $1.50. There were not many more 

 calla lilies or mignonette than the reg- 

 ular buyers wanted. All varieties of 

 green were in moderate demand. Daf- 

 fodils sold splendidly despite a little 

 outdoor and much southern competition. 

 There is really no comparison between 

 Emperor when well grown under glass 

 and the stock mentioned. The price 

 on Emperor was $2.50 to $3 a hundred, 

 while the southern ranged from $12.50 

 a thousand downward. Murillo was the 

 principal tulip, at 3 and 4 cents. Many 

 tulips were sold, but there were rather 

 more than enough. 



The rose market was active. Special 

 Beauties were scarce at $7.50 to $10 a 

 dozen, figures that show how scarce 

 they were, Bichmond was not plentiful. 

 Prices ranged from $5 to $15, with a 

 few fancies higher, these prices apply- 

 ing to the other varieties of roses. 

 White were more difficult to obtain. 



The market has fallen off since Easter, 

 but there is quite enough business to 

 consume a rather limited supply arriv- 

 ing since the close cut for the holiday. 

 Lilies are coming in slowly. Sweet 

 peas are arriving more heavily, but 

 there is a big demand for them. Beau- 

 ties bid fair to become plentiful soon. 

 There are no other special features to 

 the market beyond the fact that there 

 is a fair proportion of high grade stock 

 and prices are moderate.
