It is dilEcult to 

 WASHINGTON get sufficient stock 

 to fill all orders. 

 The smaller stores are hardest hit be- 

 cause of an inability to order far 

 enough in advance to cover them- 

 selves. Carnations are very good. 

 Asters have made their appearance in 

 limited quantities. The gladiolus 

 crop is far behind this year and there 

 is a shortage, with stock below par as 

 to quality. Roses are very scarce. 

 There is a spasmodic demand for 

 orchids. Some fair-sized decorations 

 came last week and these used up all 

 stock very nicely. Lilies are not very 

 plentiful -but prices continue low with 

 quality good. Some little stock in the 

 small flower line is to be had but 

 there is little call for this.
