INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



This has been the most remarkable 

 spring in the memory of our oldest flor- 

 ists. Extremes of heat and cold have 

 followed each other regularly for at 

 least two months and everything, espe- 

 cially outside stock, has been thrown out 

 of its regular season. The earliest 

 shrubs were forced out ahead of time 

 by a very hot spell early in April and 

 a very cold spell lately and another one 

 now have kept the late ones back. 



Paeonies, which are usually gone by 

 June 1st, will not be in by Decoration 

 Day, at which time they are in extra 

 good demand. Up to this date (the 28th) 

 there has not been a paeony cut around 

 here, and, as it is cold and raining and 

 the weather man reports rain for to- 

 morrow, we are likely to be obliged to do 

 our Decoration Day business without 

 paeonies this year. The carnation glut 

 of a few weeks ago is past, and there will 

 not be enough to fill all orders. Some of 

 the carnation glowers are firing up again 

 to partly make up for the missing sun- 

 shine. 



All the plant men report a very good 

 bedding season, except for being a 

 trifie late. The unfavorable weather 

 has kept geraniums and other bedding 

 plants from blooming and many sales 

 are lost on that account. A. B. 



OCEAN CITY, N. J. 



The season here is very backward, be- 

 ing fully ten days or two weeks late. 

 We have had great quantities of rain, 

 being almost inundated. The weather is 

 cold for this place, and bedding plants 

 that have been set out do but little 

 good, and there is so much dampness and 

 so little sun the plants mildew in the 

 greenhouses. This place is built right on 

 the shore of the Atlantic ocean and we 

 are not more than a quarter of a mile 

 from the breakers. In the spring and 

 early summer the winds that blow from 

 the ocean are very cool and this year 

 nearly all our winds have been from the 

 ocean ; that is the reason it has been so 

 cold and the season backward.

WASHINGTON. 



Everyone is astir now getting ready 

 for Decoration Day. Stock of all kinds 

 was in oversupply last week, but on ac- 

 count of cloudy weather and rain for 

 the last few days the supply has short- 

 ciieil considerably. 



From present indications there will 

 be more flowers used this year than usual 

 on account of the large number of bodies 

 that have been brought back from the 

 Philippines and buried at Arlington, our 

 National cemetery. 



Prices for fine stock have advanced 

 aliout 25 per cent for Decoration Day. 

 The bulk of the outdoor stuff has been 

 ruined by the rain.
