scarce side all along the line. Beauties 

 are a little more plentiful than In 

 other seasons at this time and prices 

 are lower. Where last year they were 

 bringing nine dollars a dozen this year 

 five is the figure. White roses are as 

 scarce as any and there is more de- 

 mand for these than the colors. Or- 

 chids are rather draggy this being es- 

 pecially the case with the cypripedium 

 crop. Lilies are in excellent demand. 

 Lily of the valley does not go well, 

 being high in price and there being 

 some excellent substitutes at reason- 

 able figures. There is a fair call for 

 white lilac, which i^ a choice and at- 

 tractive item. Trumpet daffodils are 

 now coming in the better varieties and 

 are quite a feature of the market. 

 Paper whites are greatly overdone for 

 the time being. Most of the retail 

 stores closed all or part of the day 

 Monday the 21st. The city sounded 

 like a Sunday that Monday. 



Trade has 

 ROCHESTER, N. Y. fallen off con- 

 s i d e r a b 1 y. 

 The growers have experienced a very 

 hard time in keeping their houses 

 warm. Stock is none too plentiful but 

 Is meeting all present demands. Little 

 Is doing in the way of social func- 

 tions. Roses and carnations are the 

 Chief flowers, although a very fair sup- 

 ply of cut bulbous stock is seen. 

 Yellow and white tulips are good and 

 are retailing for $5.00 per 100. Stevia 

 is scarce. Freesia is good and sells 

 fast. Calendulas are arriving but the 

 demand is slow. Good calla lilies are 

 seen and clear nicely for funeral work, 

 which is the chief factor these days. 

 Pot plants of all kinds sell well. 



Trade has been cur- 

 ST. LOUIS tailed through severe 



weather. The coming 

 week will be graduating exercises at 

 the public schools and probably a few 

 bouquets will be sold. Carnations are 

 holding up in price for good stock, 

 while splits and frozen stock were 

 sold at low figures.
