Flower Market Reports 



at tliai there were not enough exira 

 good peonies to go the rounds. Fes- 

 tlvii Maxima readily brought $8 per 

 hundred. Hecause of tht^ very hot spell 

 in April and the vi-ry cold entire inontli 

 of May. ihc crop ^va^i but half the .size 

 or less than that of last year. 



There has been something of a 

 scarcity of orchids of local productior.. 

 Some exceptionally fine Cattleya giga, 

 came down from the north which 

 brought J7.50 per dozen and sold out 

 as soon as received. The local crop is 

 expected in within the coming week. 

 There has been a good demand for 

 cornflower, yellow and white daisies 

 and iris, although the call was spas- 

 modic, being brought about mainly by 

 school exercises, the flowers named be- 

 ing of the school colors. There was a 

 good run on American Beauty roses 

 and more were sold at some of the 

 stores last weel;, it is reported, than 

 during the whole of the previous 

 month. Beauties have been bringing 

 $2 and $3 per dozen at wholesale. 

 Baby gladioli are to be had in very 

 good quality. Sweet peas are fine and 

 bring 50 to 75 cents per hundred. The 

 cold weather has helped out carna- 

 tions wonderfully and they are hold- 

 meeting with better sale. 



Lewlston, Me. — The annual exhibit 

 of spring flowers under the direction 

 of the Lewiston & Auburn Gardeners'

 Lewiston Chamber of Commerce, last 

 Friday evening. About fifty attended. 

 The exhibit included tulips, narcissi, 

 hyacinths, pansies, lilacs and other 

 spring flowers. Rev. George E. Kinney 

 had the best exhibit of tulips and liis 

 address on the culture of this flower 

 proved of interest. Others, who spoke 

 along the lines of general civic bet- 

 terment, were A. L. Kavanagh, Wil- 

 lard A. Noyp.t;. Gcori-'C Home and Ij. B.
