Runaing the gamut from summer heat to winter's blasts, last week closed with a steady, cold rain on Saturday that lasted through Sunday morning and left the market rather overstocked with carnations which, earlier dn the week, had been sufficient- ly scarce to hold the price very firm. Mother's day was also quite a factor in moving white carnations, but, as usual, several growers held back their stock until late Saturday with the usual result that the market was over- stocked and the price fell off. Roses, which had shortened up at the week- end were a glut in the market by Tuesday, even Killamey and Rich- mond being in excess of the demand. Cattleya Mossise which came in in large crop, and of especially good qual- ity were hard to move. Harrisii lilies fell to $1, while callas had quite a call at $1-$ Sweet peas are very plentiful and of especially good quality. A very few good double vio- lets are seen and sell well. There has been no change in the price of com- mon ferns although one house reported the receipt of 200,000. There was very little lilac in the market and smilax was almost a negligible quan- tity. The demand for all flowers was very light and buyers were almost making their own prices.
