price down on the home-grown lily of 

 the valley and lilies are in good de- 

 mand. Smilax is scarce and good 

 long strings demand 20 cents each. 



Business is begin- 

 WASHINGTON ning to pick up 



and the number of 

 social events calling for high grade 

 flowers is increasing. Flowers of all 

 kinds are cleaning up fairly well. Lily 

 of the valley continues to be of a 

 rather poor quality, although holding 

 up to $5 per hundred. The supply of 

 single violets is dwindling but the 

 street men seem to continue to be 

 supplied, although prices are advanc- 

 ing. There is little change in the rose 

 market and in many cases these are 

 going to buyers at just about what 

 the latter want to offer for tliem. 

 American Beauty roses are more plen- 

 tiful although somewhat higher. Gar- 

 denias also are more plentiful. Or- 

 chids are still off the market so far 

 as local production is concerned. Car- 

 nations are more plentiful in all vari- 

 eties. Sweet peas are very plentiful 

 and in some varieties very good prices 

 prevail. Cherry, apple and other 

 spring blossoms have made their ap- 

 pearance and are in good demand for 

 table decorations.
