. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. LORD & BURNHAN CO., 1133 Broadway, NEW YORK. Montreal. STOCK OVEB Trade has been of late very satisfac- tory and the Lenten season has not made itself felt so far. St. Patrick's Day was a busy one; shamrocks were sold by the thousand, nearly all in 5-inch pots at prices from 25 cents to $1; quite a num- ber of decorations had to be attended to for numerous society as well as private dinners. We are still in the grip of winter weather which seriously delays all outdoor work, although many had started during a previous mild spell to lay down hotbeds, which have been a source of trouble since, protecting them from the zero temperature and digging them out of the snow. Cut flowers are plentiful. Roses are coming along first class. Richmond and Killarney are the favorites of the flower buying public and will be more grown next year. Carna- tions are over plentiful but very good, The prices are that low that there seems to be little or no profit to the grower. Lily of the valley, tulips and daffodils are very good this year, but there are sometimes too many to sell them at a profit. Lilacs and Easter lilies are coming in very nice, also spireas. NOTES.
