Florists are agreed that the present scarcity of practically all kinds of stock is unprecedented in this market. The unusually early freeze of last week, which suddenly eliminated a splendid abundance of outdoor stock; the gen- eral and perplexing lateness of carna- tions; the dark, cold weather, which has served to retard the roses and clirysan- themums, are tlie primary causes of this trying situation. Substantial relief is slow in making its appearance. Per- haps the pompons were never before so welcome as at present, but a week or two will elapse before their arrival. The larger mums are arriving in sliglitly increased quantities, as are tlie carnations, botli items clearing espe- cially early in the day. Of the former, the varieties Unaka, Golden Glow, Smith's Advance and October Frost are of good quality. Wliolesalers refuse to sell more than fifty carnations to a customer, thus mak- ing the inadequate supply serve as many as possible. Pink Delight, Winsor, Matchless, Alice, Enchantress Supreme, White Wonder and Belle Washburn are the leading varieties offered. They are now bringing 3 cents each. The market is practically destitute of Easter lilies. Valley is in fair sup- ply and about equal to the demand. Greens of all kinds are abundant. Various Notes.
