Everything First-Class 14th and H Streets LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA Auto and Express Service to all Points in Virginia ^Niss McCarron Member of Florists' Telegraph Delivery MRS. J. E. WAHS, norist HERIDIAN, nSS. Cot Flowers for all Occa«lons BOSTON. The Market. With only an occasional good day to break the monotony, it can be truly said that the market now is in something of a slump. All kinds of flovrers are arriv- ing in abundance and it is increasingly difficult to make satisfactory clearances, even at low prices. March 3 business im- proved, but it has fallen away again this week. Boses have made a consider- able decline. American Beauties are not numerous, but there are few calls for them, Hadley and Russell taking their place and being preferred by the majority of buyers. All roses are of excellent quality. Whites continue to be druggy. Short-stemmed flowers of all colors now are down to $10 per thou- sand. Carnations have not weakened so much as roses. The general average is $ to $ per hundred, with a few strictly fancy varieties like Laddie, Rosalia, Pink Sensation, etc., making $6 to $8. The warmer weather has sent in a flood of violets, and sweet peas are in tremendous supply. White flowers with 18 to 20-inch stems make $2 per hundred. There are numbers of short- stemmed flowers which bring little more than that per thousand. Easter lilies are in reduced supply and clean up better. Dutch bulbous flowers are abundant. The poorest sell- ers are pure white tulips and Dutch hya- cinths. Some good freesias are still seen and Spanish irises from one or two growers have arrived to supplement the Iris tingitana. These flowers have made $2 to $4 per dozen. There is an abun- dant supply of English primroses, pansies, forget-me-nots, calendulas and wallflowers. Of anemones the arrivals are far in excess of the demand. Callas are druggy; so are lily of the valley and mignonette. Snapdragons are not yet excessively plent
