The Market. The weather last week was the warm- est for March since 1886, and, as a consequence, stock intended for Easter trade has been forced so rapidly the growers have been kept busy putting potted stock into cooler quarters to hold it back. Benched stock, too, is maturing prematurely. Fruit blossoms of many kinds are to be had, and the demand for them is strong, causing a falling off in the sale of carnations and roses. All sorts of indoor cut flowers are in oversupply. No slump in prices, however, has resulted. Locally grown violets, especially the double varieties, are off color from the effects of the heat.

The call for orchids, amaryllis and other expensive flowers is light. Sweet peas are prime and are moving well.
