Premouitious of the Me- 

 BOSTON morial Day rush are in 



the air. Retail clerks 

 are busy in all spare time fixing up 

 the many arrangements of preserved 

 material which are so much in de- 

 mand at that time and growers are 

 beginning to hold back or hasten for- 

 ward their special crops as conditions 

 warrant and we shouldn't be surprised 

 if some of them already have a good 

 nest full of cut carnations, lilies and 

 other things hidden away in the secret 

 vaults. Continued cool weather keeps 

 everybody guessing and on the tem- 

 perature of the days between now and 

 May 30th depends the outcome of 

 many a house of astilbe and stocks 

 as well as lots of other things. Pres- 

 ent demand is light and wholesale 

 prices are easy. Quality is very good 

 on overything, especially the roses, 

 which seem to enjoy the cool bracing 

 atmosphere of the past ten days. No 

 peonies have been seen in this mar- 

 ket so far and no southern gardenias. 

 The winter sweet pea houses are about 

 worn out and flowers from them are 

 of poor quality but the spring-grown 

 Spencers are coming in superb form 

 and there are plenty of them. As a 

 genera] proposition it is safe to pre-
