that the wholesalers were once more in 

 command of the situation. It is not fre- 

 qaent that the improvement is so rapid, 

 especially while chrysanthemums are so 

 abundant. The greater part of the rose 

 receipts now are from medium to long. 

 There is an oversupply of the better 

 grades of White Killarney, quite seri- 

 ous in some cases. These are too good 

 to use in funeral work and are not 

 wanted for other purposes. Beauties 

 have shared in the increased demand 

 and, though prices have been good for 

 several weeks, they are better now. 

 Most of the Beauties are long in stem 

 and perfect in color. 



Carnations had their place in general 

 improvement last week. The crops ap- 

 pear to be not so heavy as at this time 

 last year and prices fully as good as 

 normal are being obtained. Bed and 

 dark pink are in extremely light supply. 



Violets have become of excellent 

 quality and there has been a distinct 

 improvement in the demand, though 

 there still is a great deal of difference 

 in the opinions as to their value. The 

 supply is large. Cattleyas are not in 

 keavj supply. The labiatas now coming 

 in are extremely good and are realizing 

 fine prices. The small cattleyas, like 

 Percivaliana and Schroederiana are not 

 in ranch request, being thought too 

 small. Dendrobiums sell fairly well and 

 oneidium has been taken by some of 

 the leading retailers locally for table 

 work. Easter lilies have been some- 

 tliing of a drug during the chrysanthe- 

 ■nnm season. Though not in heavy sup- 

 ply, still they have accumulated until 

 an opportunity would present itself for 

 moving a quantity at an attractive 

 price. Therfe are only a few callas. 

 Not many Paper Whites are arriving. 

 Stevia has become abundant and much 

 of it is fine. Mignonette is not yet 

 specially good. There are a few good 

 antirrhinums and occasionally poinset- 

 tias are seen. 



The green goods market presents lit- 

 tle that is new. There is an abundance 

 of everything. Prices in this depart- 

 ment steadily are falling, each season 

 finding greens a little cheaper than they 

 were before.

tion went into operation at the begin- 

 ning of the present week. It is similar 

 to the organization that is said to have 

 worked so well in New York in the last 

 couple of years. The wholesalers notify 

 the manager, who is a Mr. Webb, iden- 

 tified with the Wilbur Mercantile 

 Agency, of all the accounts that are 

 unpaid on the twenty-fifth day of the 

 month following purchase and the 

 manager then supplies each member 

 with a list of all the delinquents. The 

 members sell only for cash until noti- 

 fied that the delinquent accounts are 

 paid. It is figured that the. plan will 

 work to the advantage of buyers who 

 have paid promptly, as well as to the 

 advantage of the wholesalers; also that 

 it will furnish an incentive to a num- 

 ber of retailers who have let their capi-

tal stand on their ledgers to get it in 

 and put themselves in the prompt pay 

 class. Nearly all the wholesalers have 

 joined the association and those who 

 have not will have to watch their books 

 or they will find their accounts receiv-
