The unsettled condition of the weather 

 is becoming very disheartening; not sat- 

 isfied with being cold and raw, last Sat- 

 urday it commenced to rain and is still 

 raining, with rain predicted for tomor- 

 row, Wednesday, a day set for a so- 

 ciety outdoor " lilac wedding. Peter 

 Kunst who has the bedding plants, vases, 

 etc., in charge has this part of the work 

 completed, while Crabb & Hunter have 

 the wedding decorations, and now it 

 looks as if all things movable will have 

 to come indoors. 



The death of Edwin F. Uhl, es-mayor, 

 e.\-ambassador to Italy, etc., furnished 

 the occasion for a lavish use of flowers. 

 The Floral Company had the family 

 order, while every florist had a share of 

 the designs and sprays, making this the 

 largest floral funeral of the season. 



Flowers are very plentiful, a few 

 roses, seconds, even going to waste; but 

 so far carnations have been pretty well 

 cleaned up, and if this weather continues 

 a few days longer there will be a sear- 

 city for Decoration Day, as usual. Li- 

 lacs will be gone, as well as most flow- 

 ering shrubs except snowballs and 

 ])aeonies. Most of the florists have grown 

 a few longiflorums for Decoration Day 

 to help out, and it looks as though they 

 will come in handy. Carnations are 35 

 cents per dozen; roses, $1; outside val- 

 ley, 50 cents per doz. ; longiflorums, 

 .$1.25 per doz. ; lilacs, 25 cents per doz. ; 

 i)ulbs all gone.

 were slow and it was difficulL tu obtain 

 respectable prices, even on fine stock, 

 probably due to the immense variety of 

 stock on hand and the large percentage 

 of seconds and culls. Country buyers 

 must also have their crops on, for ship- 

 ping business is somewhat unsteady. 

 Carnations went anywhere from 50 cents 

 to $2 per 100, but good stock lingered 

 around the .$1 mark most of the week. 

 Roses ransed from $1 to $(i per 100. hut 

 only extra select brought top price. 

 White stock was the weakest on the mar- 

 ket, calls being for colored mostly. Dec-
