A week of sunshine has 

 CHICAGO had a tendency to In- 

 crease the amount o f 

 stock, though the weather has con- 

 tinued surprisingly cold, the thermom- 

 eter registering almost to the freezing 

 point. Sunday morning. May 23rd, 

 everything was covered with a white 

 frost. So far as has been learned no 

 serious damage has been done. Every- 

 thing in planting has been more or less 

 delayed, especially in the soft plants. 

 All idea of home grown peonies was 

 abandoned some days ago, the buds be- 

 ing scarcely formed one week before 

 Decoration Day. Those coming in 

 from southern Illinois and Indiana are 

 all that can be desired, arriving fresh 

 and firm. The stock from Jlemphis 

 and points farther south is gone and 

 florists who shipped to Chicago two 

 weeks ago are now sending here for 

 their peonies. Roses are not in so big 

 a crop as a month ago. Carnations are 

 not likely to get so low again for some 

 time. Green stuff is not at all plenti- 

 ful, smilax decidedly scarce and com- 

 mon ferns still bringing a good price. 

 In addition to the usual variety in 

 carnations and roses there are tulips 

 in all colors, but some especially fine 

 red ones, forget-me-not, snap dragons 

 in every color and with stems reach- 

 ing to six feet, stocks, sweet peas, ap- 

 ple blossoms, wild violets, jasmine 

 from the south and peonies. The great 

 vases of callas still stand on practical- 

 ly every counter in the wholesale mar- 

 ket. The pansy growers are disap- 

 pointed this year. Sales have not been 

 up to last year's. The blooms seem to 

 lack substance and wilt easily. Many 

 .growers find their cut of roses is dim- 

 inishing just as they will be most in 

 demand. One of the largest growers 

 reports his cut as little more than one- 

 half of what it was two weeks ago. 



The heavy rains of 

 WASHINGTON Friday and Satur- 

 day last saved the 

 early crops from almost total destruc- 

 tion. The drought in this section was 

 becoming appalling. All out-of-door 

 roses have been kept back by the cold 

 and it is hoped that they will be in 

 their prime for Decoration Day. Near- 

 bv peonies are just coming in in 

 any quantity, and considering the un- 

 favorable season are very good indeed.
