THE LEO NIESSEN CO., 1201-5 Race St., Philadelphia, Pa. PhiladelpUa. JIARKET CONDITIONS ITCCH IMPROVED. The bright days of the past week have helped a lot and conditions are much better than a week ago. There is not much increase in the demand, but the street men have been out in force, and while they only pay about one-third price, yet they clean out the boxes and give the next week a good start. Roses are off crop, there being none too many of any kind. Amer- ican Beauties are gaining, the fore- runner of the spring flowers that come so plentifully in April. The quantity stocks now are Easter and calla lilies; longiflorums appear to be overstocked with all the dealers. Daffodils are an- other quantity flower, as are sweet peas, although these meet with a fair demand. The quality is very fine. There are plenty of violets, but they appear to be losing their popularity; surely there will always be violets. Gardenias are offered on the street at low prices. Cattleyas of first qual- ity are fairly plentiful, while lily of the valley easily meets the demand. The carnation section is well stocked, quality excellent and demand moder- ate.

As time nears for the great rose festival, there is greater activity all along the line. The final schedule offers large prizes for the 200 square feet of space to be filled with arranged vases to be judged by a scale, the points to be 50 for quality, 20 for varieties and 30 for accessories. Thirty points for the ornamental "fixin's" looks like a good many, but the way such an exhibit is set
