As the general supply of stock is about normal for this time of the year, the only conclusion to draw is that business is comparatively active. Boses continue to show excellent quality all down the line and the sup- ply is readily absorbed at firm prices. It is difficult to determine whether Rus- sell, Ophelia, Hadley or some otUer va- riety heads the list in popularity, as the entire offerings clean up without diflaculty. There is a fine cut of Colum- bia. Spring bulbous stock is not over- plentiful. The late crop of daffodils has not started as yet, and there is some ? talk now that the second crop will be light as compared with the early one. Tulips are more in evidence, but the supply cannot be called large. Freesias are about in the same position as last week; there is enough for the demand, but no noticeable surplus. A few Span- ish irises have appeared, as well as small lota of anemones and ranunculi, which are well taken. Carnations have held their own well during the last week, both in regard to supply and de- mand, with 75 cents a bunch of two dozen as the top price and few sold for less. Sweet peas are not sufficiently plentiful to cut much figure; neither are lilies. A few callas are offered, but practically no Easter lilies. Lily of the valley is obsolete as far as this market is concerned. An extra demand for or- chids and gardenias made the supply short for several days. The Mardi Gras, held at the Civic Auditorium on the night of March 4, was easily the most notable social event of the season from the viewpoint of the florists' trade. It was preceded by a round of entertainment at the large ho- tels and restaurants, which called for many more or less elaborate table dec- orations, and many were the calls for corsages. Altogether, a large extra de- mand for flowers was created. Funeral work was heavy last week also, as there were two or three deaths
