Rising Eastern Market. 



The cool, cloudy weather, coming when 

 many of the eastern crops were going 

 off, has put the market into fair shape. 

 The disappearance of southern daffodils, 

 not yet followed by any outdoor local 

 stock worth mentioning, has further 

 helped the sale of greenhouse-grown 

 flowers. There has been an excellent 

 shipping demand, fostered by moderate 

 prices, realizing better average returns 

 than at any time since Easter. The 

 rose crop is heavy. The low grade 

 flowers have been marketed through 

 special quantity prices, enabling the 

 retailers to have sales. By this term is 

 meant newspaper or window offers of 

 attractive prices on certain days. Car- 

 nations have slightly fallen off in quan- 

 tity, the market cleaning up well, par- 

 ticularly on the better grades. Valley 

 has been in good demand for the wed- 

 dings. Sweet peas are eagerly sought 

 when well-done. Curiously enough, the 

 dar^ weather has apparently had little 

 Qffect'.im the cut. Cattleyas have been 

 fine and are selling well. There is no 

 special demand for snapdragon, although 

 much of it is used. Easter lilies hardly 

 can be called plentiful. Emperor from 

 the greenhouses is quite as fine as any 

 daffodils that have been offered this

At E. F. Hoehl's Bange. 



Ernest F. Hoehl's place, Sixtieth and 

 Gibson streets, has about 20,000 square 

 feet of glass devoted to the growing 

 of a variety, of which mums, sweet 

 peas and mignonette are the main 

 crops. The Mignonette grown is a strain 

 originated by Mr. Hoehl, which re- 

 quired quite a lot of his time and care- 

 ful selection of the seeds to get the 



stock perfect. Hoehl's Giant Flowering 

 is the name given to it. Bouvardia is 

 also grown in the three colors, pink, 

 white and red, and proves itself to be a 

 good short-paying crop. Daisies in both 

 colors look their part and show what 

 can be done if one is careful, in sheet- 

 ing the wood for cutting, to tflke noth- 

 ing but the best, as they are fine in size, 

 color and stem. Mums, which are one 

 of the main crops, consist of the fol- 

 lowing varieties in the newer kinds:
