Tho market has boi'u dull for the last two or throe (lays, with a rather slack demand, but prices have, as yet, receded little. The skies liave been remarkably clear, there not being a cloud visible in live successive days. The severe cold wave, lasting from January 2;} to 2G, affected business somewhat and there were some rei)orts of frozen shipments. Violets suffered more than other flowers during the cold wave, since severe weather always affects adversely the sale of these flowers. There is an op- timistic feeling abroad, due to the com- ing together of the vjirious trade ele- ments in the convention of tlie New JCngland Florists' Alliance. Koses have not changed materially. Growers who have run their houses fair- ly well are having good cuts and the season has been, so far, a satisfactory one. Columbia easily remains the {)opu- lar leader, but I'ilgrim, Eussell, Premier, Ophelia and Double White Killarney are all selling well. Home good American Beauties are being received from the Hudson river district. Carnations have declined little, but are more plentiful and a downward tendency was shown January 30. Violets are weaker, due largely to the continued cold weather. Sweet peas are about the sanu;. Pansies are coming in more freely and show an increasing popularity. There are some fine calendulas, and bunches of wallflowers and myosotis prove pofyular. Callas are more abundant, but sell well. Supplies of lilies are small. There is some good mignonette. Bulbous flowers hold up well in price, but the quantity gradually increases and the quality im- proves. Golden Spur remains the pojju- lar daffodil, but a few other sorts are seen. Tulips are coming in longer- stemmed. There is a good supply of well grown freesias. Stevia is nearly over for the season. Gardenias in small lots come from local growers, but most of the flowers are shij)ped from New York. Cattle
