The most important feature of the market during the last week was the large supply of nearly all cut flowers, but particularly chrysanthemums and roses. Not since the beginning of the fall season has there been such a quan- tity of flowers on the market. Chrys- anthemums dominate and many of the midseason varieties are coming in. Pompons and single chrysanthemums also are showing up well, and there are some luxurious-looking chrysanthemum plants to be had. Prices are holding up well in spite of the large supply. Rose prices have suffered a slight drop. Ophelia, Sunburst, Hadley, Hoosier Beauty, Bussell and Shawyer are the favorite varieties in demand, while Ce- cile Brunner, George Elger and Sweet- heart roses meet with a fine call for corsage work. Carnations are not overplentiful and prices hold up well on these. Cattleyas are in splendid supply and are to be had in every seasonable variety. The first calla lilies of the season made their appearance last week. Rubrum Ulies are increasing in supply and are in good demand. !Lily of the valley finds a good market, Violets are more abundant and a few sweet peas are in evidence. Gardenias also are to be noted, as well as snapdragons. Smilax is in short supply, but other greens are fair in this respect. The demand has centered chiefly on chrysanthemums during the last week, although there was a good call for val- ley and Ophelia roses for wedding work, and Easter lilies and roses for funerals.
