field's idea of "Fireless Monday." 

 There is a marked scarcity of all 

 kinds of roses, as well as lilies. On 

 the other hand is a plentiful supply of 

 carnations, paper white and trumpet 

 narcissus and Roman hyacinths. Con- 

 sidering market conditions prices are 

 not exorbitant. 



Business has 

 ROCHESTER, N.Y. picked up 

 slightly. Most 

 of the stores opened for a half day 

 on Monday to make up funeral work

 Violets, tulips, narcissi, etc., sell well. 



Roses and carnations 

 ST. LOUIS are selling clean, school 



graduating exercises 

 causing something doing in retail 

 circles. Violets and sweet peas are in 

 demand and selling satisfactorily.
