tinued rather on the scarce side and 

 cleaned up pretty well even for the 

 poorer grades which are still much in 

 evidence. Asters are in good demand 

 especially for the better grades but 

 even now these are not what they 

 have been in former years. JIuch of 

 the stocn coming in is away below 

 par. It has certainly been a very poor 

 season for asters. The dahlia is now 

 to be seen around — good flowers but 

 short stemmed. They are going bet- 

 ter than usual on account of the scar- 

 city of good asters. So "its an ill 

 wind that blows nobody good." I 

 suppose cut turnips would sell Just 

 now if dyed up a little. Roses are in 

 fair demand and supply not heavy. 

 Russell is still the leader. Some of 

 the (so-called) Prima Donna are to be 

 seen and show up pretty well. Ophelia 

 is also among the good ones. Beauties 

 are in rather better demand. Lily of 

 the valley very scarce. The lily crop 

 seems to be a little off temporarily 

 and prices have advanced. Little 

 change is apparent in the cattleya 

 situation and good flowers are still 

 bringing a dollar each. First cuts of 

 the new carnation crop are arriving 

 in limited quantity — quality fair but 

 short stemmed. Plenty of hydrangeas 

 and tritomas come in handy for 

 decorative work. 



There is plenty of 

 ST. LOUIS stock to be had at any 



time in this market but 

 as yet it is of poor quality. Roses do 

 not bring much owing to poor quality 

 but they are in plenty. Cosmos is com- 

 ing now also dahlias. Asters sell bet- 

 ter than any other flower. Hydran- 

 geas had quite a call. Tuberose stalks 

 sell well but the demand can not use 

 all that came in. Gladioli are still a 

 good seller. Lily of the valley scarce 

 but lilies are in plenty. 



Business here is at 

 WASHINGTON a very low ebb, and 



although there are 

 few flowers coming, it cannot be said 

 that there is a shortage in any line. 

 Gladoli. asters and dahlias are the 

 most talked of flowers at this time, 

 the first-named because of its having 

 been more plentiful, of a better qual- 

 ity and more popular this season than 

 ever before: asteis because of a crop 

 failure, and dahlias because of the 

 scare given their growers by the un- 

 stable weather which prevailed earlier 

 In the season. Lilies sold up well last 

 week. Lily of the valley is only to be 

 had in limited quantities. There are 

 no orchids offered or wanted. Ameri- 

 can Beauty roses and carnations of 

 the new crops are beginning to come 

 into the local market.

 quirement of paiier for the various is- 

 sues of their catalogues during the 

 years 1916 and 1917. This consisted of 

 several carloads of paper and amounted 

 to a considerable outlay of money, but 

 they state that they have already real-

 the price of paper still advancing al-
