 WASHINGTON periencing one of 



the latest and cold- 

 est spring for years, with the re- 

 sult that there is not an over plus on 

 any one flower, but most of the deal- 

 ers re])ort themselves as more than 

 satisfied with conditions. A good many 

 peonies are coming from the south, 

 but are not up to the standard in qual- 

 ity. Nearby lilac has been a total fail- 

 ure, and as yet no water lilies are on 

 the market. Sunday was celebrated 

 as Mother's day in Washington, which 

 made a run on white carnations, con- 

 suming all in the city long before the 

 closing hour for the stores. It is

CHICAGO NOTES. 



Spring Plant Trade. 



The supply of Boston ferns is de- 

 cidedly short in Chicago. There has 

 been a heavy demand throughout the 

 entire season. In some cases they 

 were pushed on a little to make room 

 for Christmas stock and the steady 

 demand since has about consumed the 

 supply. Many growers last year found 

 themselves over-stocked and conse- 

 quently did not grow enough this year. 



Geraniums are as a rule decidedly 

 backward this year and many growers 

 are going to find it very difficult to 

 get stock in bloom for Decoration 

 Day trade which is so nearly upon us. 

 This applies to all varieties. The wet 

 weather last August started the diffi- 

 culty and the continued damp and 

 cloudy weather this spring has added 

 to it. Other bedding plants seem to 

 be in about the normal condition and 

 there will probably be enough to take 

 care of the trade. 



The Ringler Rose Co.. having a 

 wholesale business in nursery stock, 

 seeds, bulbs, etc.. at 39 Market street, 

 have opened up a retail store, for the
