ABOUT PRICE FLUCTUATIONS 



Editor of Horticulture: 



I believe something should be done 

 to prevent flowers being slaughtered 

 at glut times. The grower would be 

 better off by getting a fair price for 

 what is sold and let the remainder be 

 lost. We jump "from the sublime to 

 the ridiculous;" carnations, 25c. a 

 dozen and then fl.50 and $2.00 a dozen 

 for Mothers' Day. What do we want 

 to do? Kill Mothers' Day as we did 

 McKinley Day? They certainly are not 

 worth it. It is foolish to compare flowers 

 with food stuffs. The latter Is a neces- 

 sity; the former is not. If during glut 

 the sales are a loser then let us quit it. 

 Adjust the market prices and put car- 

 nations in winter no higher than four 

 cents; in summer two cents. Then our 

 dry goods stores would have to quit 

 the flower business and let the florist 

 do his to the best of his ability. Cheap 

 prices that last only a period are an 

 injustice to the legitimate florist. These 

 buyers at glut prices do not buy regu- 

 lar and never buy flowers at market 

 figures.
