A greenhouse costing $12,000 will be built this spring in the Botanical Garden, Bronx Park, near the corner of Bronx and Pelham avenues. A. Maltz has taken new quarters on the first floor of the Coogan building. Chicago. ROSES SCARCE—MAEKET STEADY. The market has shown a slight improvement over the conditions of last week, in point of demand and prices, but stock is shortening perceptibly and the American Beauty rose situation, es- pecially, is growing brighter day by day. The scarcity of this line has boosted prices several notches, but high prices do not grow stock and commission men and growers alike are lamenting the shortage. Teas are keeping up well and there appear to be enough for all pur- poses. The quality of the roses being cut was never better at this season of the year. The shortage in carnations is confined to the white varieties which have been scarce. Good white stock brought as high as five cents during the early part of the week. Colored carna- tions are generally plentiful and are quoted from $2 to $4 per 100. Whites may be regarded as being among the "fancies" this week. The violet supply is increasing, especially singles, and prices remain firm. Bulbous stock has not that glutty appearance characteriz- ing that line for the last three weeks, and Koman hyacinths and Paper White narcissi are rather scarce. McKinley day sales were disappointing and retailers report a general apathy on that day. Ferns have taken an upward turn in price and are quoted for the best stock, at $3 per 1000. Shipping trade continues steady, but nothing phenome- nal. NOTES OF THE TRADE.
