such as to facilitate quick and easy selection of Roses 

 for any particular purpose. Thus we got first the 

 price of each variety, then the nanie, and there- 

 after nine columns headed Pillar, Bush, Climbing, 

 Bedding, &g., and opposite each variety a cross 

 denotes that the variety is suitable for the purpose 

 stated at the head of the column. In this way 

 intending purchasers can at once select varieties 

 for any purpose. The list is limited to about 150 

 of the best varieties, and contains illustrations of 

 Pemberton's White Rambler ; Danae, a perpetual 

 flowering yellow cluster Rose : and Moonlight, a 

 white, lemon-flushed varietv. which has been 

 favourably commented on.

 There was not 

 a good supply 

 of American 

 apples, and 

 sales were 

 slow. Pears 

 sho ,ved a de- 

 crease, but 

 were of fair 

 average qual- 

 ity, and, as a 

 result, very 

 good prices were obtained. Home grown toma- 

 toes were plentiful and commanded but poor 

 prices. A few trays of blackberries w^ore offered 

 for sale : owing, however, to the high cost of sugar 

 for jam making, purchasers were few and sales 

 disappointing. 



The supply of flowers comprised Asters,

 santhemums, Aruin Lilies, Violets and American 

 Perpetual Carnations, On account of the war 

 one would expect to find that cut flowers would 

 not be much sought after, but there was a fair 

 demand at good prices. Compared with the
