MARKET NOTES 
lobsters way down.—T he drop in 
lobsters reported from Maine, where large 
quantities are taken, has reached New 
York. W'e see boiled specimens of fair 
size on the stands near the fish markets 
selling at three for 25 cents, and big ones 
at two for a quarter. This is about half 
the usual price and is said to be due to 
the unusually warm w'eather. Of course 
this is only temporary and will probably 
have little effect on the price of canned 
lobster. 
SOURED LAMBS.—The w'arm weather 
has been very hard on shipments of dressed 
lambs. To get them to market in proper 
condition it is necessary to cut them open 
much more than in cold weather. If a 
cavity six inches deep Is left above the 
neck as the lamb hangs up, the flesh there 
i .5 sure to become sotir quickly in hot 
weather, the taint soon extending to other 
parts of the carcass. By opening this 
cavity so that all liquids may drain out 
and the air circulate freely, losses will be 
avoided in doubtful weather. 
WOODLAND OEPERTNGS of Spring 
(lowers are on hand, earlier than usual. The 
price is a little time, some shoe leather, 
and a keen eyesight. Get acquainted with 
that bit of w’oods with a little swampy 
place on the border. Tf one can be on 
speaking terms with several acres of 
woods all the better, but that takes more 
time than most of us can give. Tn a place 
three rods square we yearly find a pro¬ 
fusion and surprising variety of most 
beautiful and delicate flowers that never 
knew a gardener’s care. The season 
opened this Spring on March 23 with 
liverwort and Spring beauty. Tt is neces- 
.sary to vi.slt It a few minutes every week 
to avoid missing something. There is a 
.«uccession from now until late Summer. 
.\s many as 10 varieties have been found 
in bloom on this little wild patch at one 
time. The hit-and-miss way in which they 
are scattered about is interesting and 
pleasing, as variety at least, compared 
with the painful geometrical outlines in 
some artificial land.scapcs. Yet. as though 
to show’ what can be done, there Is here 
a natural mass of Wood Anemone, three 
feet in diameter and almost exactly cir¬ 
cular. 
HERBS .\ND FT^DWETRS.—Chamomile 
(lowers, which come from Europe, are 
higher in price than previous years. 13 to 
23 cents a pound wholesale, and the de¬ 
mand is constantly increasing. One large 
druggist says his Spring sales at retail 
double those of previous years. The 
chamomile, botanieally Anthemis nobllls, 
is a near relation of the ill-smelling May¬ 
weed. with small white daisy-like flowers, 
either single or double, which are cut as 
soon as fully expanded, and dried. Tt is a 
simple topic or febrifuge, either made into 
a tea alone, or combined with wild cherry 
bark, and is certainly a wiser home pre¬ 
scription than expensive proprietary medi¬ 
cines whose constituents are unknown. Tt 
is also used as a wash for Inflamed eyes. 
Tjavender flowers, w’hich wholesale at 5Vj 
to 3 cents, are sold extensively on the 
street: they are mostly Imported, and al¬ 
ways described as English. Saffron flowers 
are quoted at $5 to $7.50 a pound for Span¬ 
ish. and 28 cents for American, which 
chan season. Some do not care for this 
rather coarse and sour fruit, and an apple 
equal in quality to Gravenstein, but much 
earlolr would be acceptable. 
THE ONTON MARICET has been upset 
for some time, and does not improve at 
all. Part of the trouble was caused by 
growers shipping many that were just on 
the point of rotting. They soon decayed, 
burdening the market with unsalable stuff, 
and buyers were afraid of even those that 
w'ere in fair condition. We have noticed 
barrels of the kind quoted at .$4 to $s, 
known as Connecticut white, which were 
either soft or covered with black spots 
and worthless. Some State and Western 
onions have sold as low as 25 cents per 
barrel. Havana and Bermuda onions of 
fine (luality. free, from disease, are on 
hand, selling at a premium, many hand¬ 
ling them who ordinarily use home-grown 
stock.

sounds an extraordinary variation, but the 
former is the tiny stigma (the pollen-re¬ 
ceiving part) of a Crocus flower, while the 
latter is the bloom of another plant, the 
safflower. Prime rose leaves are worth 85 
to 30 cents a pound; Virginia .snakeroot 46 
to 48 cents, while that from Canada Is 25 
to 30. Golden seal is 54 to 56 cents; Cala¬ 
mus. bleached roots, 25 to 30, while ordi¬ 
nary is only 7 to 8 cents. 
SHRTVET.ED APPLES.—There are many 
farm cellars where apples kept until April 
become more or less withered. They may 
not be decayed, and perhaps look in good 
condition, but by holding one tightly in 
the hand the wrinkles and lack of firmness 
will be noted. Before the general use of 
refrigeration these apples sold readily. 
Buyers took it as a matter of course that 
late-kept apples could not be expected to 
be as firm as in November. But cold 
storage has changed this, and made it 
possible to put on sale in July Baldwins 
or Spies as solid as in early Winter. These 
practically bar out cellar-stored apples, 
except in rare cases of cellars peculiarly 
adapted to preserve this fruit. Unless one 
can dispose of his cellar apples to grrocers 
in small towns where there are no storage 
houses, it would seem better to get rid 
of all that he has for sale early. It is 
risky to send them to New York as late 
as this if they give like rubber or show 
wrinkles when squeezed in the hand. It 
is hard to sell such fruit for anywhere 
near what it is worth where buyers can 
get plenty of cold house fruit. It Is now 
possible to get prime apples any day in the 
year In New York at a reasonable price, 
something unheard of a few years ago.
