Carnations averaged about $8 per hun- dred, with some fancies higher and whites a little lower. Both roses and carnations cleaned up completely. Vio- lets were scarce; good singles readily brought $ to $3 per hundred. Some Hudson river doubles were seen and sold at lower prices. Sweet peas met with a tremendous sale; good flowers made $4 to $5 per hundred, with other grades soiling down to $2 per hundred. Snapdragons were rather overdone and their sales dragged; superb stalks made $3 per dozen, with other grades one-half or one-third of this price. Marguerites were in large supply and fancy, long- stemmed flowers sold as high as $8 to $10 per hundred, with small, short- stemmed culls as low as $2; yellows were in large demand and some excellent Mrs. Sander sold at $4 to $5 per hun- dred. Both tulips and daffodils sold out clean. Victoria narcissi made $8 to $10 and Golden Spur and other varie- ties a little less. Cut hyacinths moved more slowly. Callas sold at $2 to $4 per dozen and cut Easter lilies at $10 to $15 per hundred. Some nice Spanish irises realized $6 per dozen and fine long-stemmed ranunculuses $2 per dozen. Freesias continued to appear at $4 to $5 per hundred. Mignonette brought all the way from $6 to $15 per hundred. Calendulas and bachelor's buttons made little advance. A fair number of gardenias and only a small number of cattleyas were offered. In pot plants, lilies were in much more abundant supply than had been expected, since the warm, spring-like weather of the last ten days in March had hurried along many laggards. The best stock reached $25, with poorer grades selling at $15 to $20. There were enough for all requirements and some surplus. R
